Microsoft planning new ‘hardcore’ Xbox One controller claim rumours
There was a big fuss made about the redesigned Xbox One controller when it was first released, with Microsoft insisting that it featured 40 improvements over the Xbox 360 joypad.
Although the public reception was relatively muted, with many considering it only a minor advancement at best, it’s still widely considered to have a least a slight edge on the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4.
Why then Microsoft would need a ‘hardcore’ controller is unclear, but website Neowin implies that it will primarily be aimed at first person shooter and driving games. They even suggest that the new controller could be unveiled as soon as E3 in June.
It’s not clear exactly what is meant by a hardcore controller, but presumably it would be something along the lines of the controllers produced by third parties such as Razer and Scuf Gaming.
These tend to be more expensive than a standard gamepad, although presumably Microsoft feels a hardcore gamer would be willing to make that sacrifice.

Famous_Energy Normal controllers have a lot of issues if you play CoD and racing games. Your thumbs sticks get stuck so with this being made it should fix the issue.
hopefully I cant stand when they get stuck, especially when its popping off and you happen to get the crap end of the stick when this happens

DeluxeHazard Even when this new "hardcore" controller is released, names like Scuff and Razor already make good controllers for those purposes.
Yeah although if these "hardcore controllers" are cheaper for example only 30-40 then they will be the most brought since Scuf and Razor controls cost way to much.
