Video: Xbox One controller has 40 different improvements

4.7
Microsoft has published a new video in which Xbox community mouthpiece Larry Hyrb and Xbox One general manager Zulfi Alam discuss the creation of the console’s brand-new controller.

The controller is confirmed as having haptic feedback, advanced rumble motors, and a more comfortable design.

There is also a USB input on the back of the pad, which gives consumers the option of playing either wired or wireless. When wired, all of the data between console and controller travels through the USB port, instead of over wireless.

Alam confirmed that the pad’s wireless bandwidth is 20x more than the Xbox 360 controller. The latency has now been reduced to milliseconds between pressing a button in wireless mode and having it impact your game on-screen.

The pad also has IR LEDs so that the system knows – thanks to Kinect – who is holding the pad. The Xbox One automatically shifters gamers profiles depending on who is handling it.

What do you make of the Xbox One controller so far? Let us know below.

I never noticed a lag on pressing the buttons when on the 360 controller, I wonder if this will change the felling of FPS games or if it will make competitive gaming even more fast paced action. I think the shifting profiles is cool but without the Kinect because it is not required it won't work.

_Bale What's the point updating the wireless distance? Its not like people go out and play their games from outside..


Yeah but people including myself have big rooms and don't like playing close up to the tv.


For that too happen your room must be a size of a average house, highly unlikely.


Yea you don't have that big of a room, unless your parents/you are filthy rich.


Some people have huge rooms even though they arent rich.



What if you go downstairs or into your kitchen or whatever and still want to talk to your friends as you're doing whatever you have to do ! It will be nice for that.
