Microsoft video shows the inside of Xbox One controller
The video, uploaded to YouTube on the official Xbox channel, has Microsoft's marketing manager Graeme Boyd chatting with Quintin Morris, the lead designer on the Xbox One controller, at Microsoft's design labs. Unlike other videos, this one shows Morris actually disassembling the Xbox One controller on camera to show its printed circuit boards, or PCBs.
The video shows how the PCBs have been designed to accommodate the Xbox One controller's battery so it can fit inside the casing without creating a bulge, as it does for the Xbox 360 controller. Morris said that it was difficult to get this new battery design to work with the Xbox One gamepad.
As a consequence of the battery changes, Morris says in the video that this allowed the lower section of the Xbox One controller to be thinner and also let the design team make the hand grip surface of the device more comfortable to hold for gamers.
Later on in the video, Morris shows the inside of the controller again as he talks about its new triggers. The Xbox 360 controller has mechanical parts inside for its triggers but for the Xbox One, Microsoft eliminated those parts in favor of magnetic digital trigger sensors. Morris says this makes them twice as sensitive as the Xbox 360 version. If you have any engineering interest in game console hardware development, this video is definitely one to check out

Boar One thing I forgot to mention was, the magnetic triggers seem a great great idea.
I have lost many a controller to the mechanical levers in the triggers breaking.
Yea same. Also I've lost some controllers because one of the buttons would get stuck have way in and you had to press hard on it to use it. I hope that doesn't happen again

Dr-JTHCv3 I think the thumb sticks being smaller is a bad idea. They are catering to little kids. The 360s thumb sticks were to small and I had to switch to Playstation 2 thumb sticks.
No they didn't. Only 18+ tried it. It's better
I agree, Microsoft and Sony cater for the Adults in general gaming as the technology is imporving be able to have TV Services aswell more and more people are buying consoles even the elderly I know 2 people who have a PS3 console for the Netflix service just for that I was like why lol ?

Victoria_MooreScared_of_WaterDr-JStraighty180Woobie Wow interesting stuff there, can't wait til it's out.
it looks pretty cool, hopefully it feels comfortable in our hands. hopefully they make an old school version for the xbox one that is similar to the 360 controller
It's very comfortable in the hands. You don't feel cramped up either since there's no battery pack
never once felt cramped because of the battery pack
me neither, but it's better with no battery pack anyways :p
Yer definitely, so many good simple improvements as there was very minor problems with the 360 controller and i can't see any faults with this one.
