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.

_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.

You would be really surprised. I seen it happen.


For some reason people want to go downstairs and keep there mic/pad on to talk.

ooh The controller is shaping up to sound very nice, hope it's as good as it sounds.


I hope they don't make too many changes because it will take a while too get use to.


There is not a lot they can change really.

I am looking forward to the wired option.
