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.

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.

Tide It looks a little big but I'm sure it's not.


I don't think Microsoft will make the Xbox One controller too big. Many people will be disappointed if they do

I'm hoping that i like it as much as i came to live the Xbox 360 controller, it took me a while to adjust to but it became so easy to use after a while

IniquityRhymes in my opinion the controller looks a bit to flat but yeah as im sitting with the family i cant put volume on the video but what does advanced rumble motors do?


Gives it more advanced vibration. I never use vibration anyway so that doesn't matter to me, though.


I never use vibration too, seems to drain so much battery, especially when playing shooting games.


Well now if your battery is getting low, you can just plug it in because it has a cord for it.

Really looking forward to using this controller.

They say the controller reacts faster but if you think about it, it really maters on who pushes the button first not the controllers reaction! Oh well sounds like the controller is going to be a lot better!
