Conveniences abound in Xbox One controller redesign

A cross-shaped directional pad. Rumbling triggers. Rad buttons. We've seen a lot of consternation about the Xbox One as a video game console (and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:done some ourselves), but on its new-and-improved gamepad makes us e🐼xcited to get our hands on the controller, at the𝐆 very least.

The joysticks and triggers both require less force to press, and the buttons are placed clo🀅ser together for easier combinations on top of the aforementioned D-pad and force feedback, among other tweaks.

The Xbox One controller also sports a few mundane but useful sounding upgrades: instead of turning off after a brief period of inactivity, the controller entꩲers a low-power state and immediately wakes up when used again. That should make watching Netflix or other videos with a controller as 𒈔a remote much more palatable.

You can pres✃erve the controller's AA batteries by plugging in a generic USB Micro cable, so it sounds like the odd divide between Wired and Wireless 360 controllers will no longer be a concern.

Consoles aside, which nꦺext-gen co🌳ntroller do you prefer?

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my olꦕder brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at 🦩GamesRadar.
