Hands-on and up close with the Xbox One controller | Destructoid

Destructoid: "We've just gone hands-on with the Xbox One controller here at Microsoft HQ. While they're not letting us play any games yet, it was still a good opportunity to check out the hand feel and get a closer look. "

[SuperSteve]

Looks comfy.

[4Sh0w]

Yeah I like it cant wait to sample the trigger buttons.

[Kevin ButIer]

Very nice indeed, still I can't believe they used AA batteries...

[GamersRulz]

Sesame street controller XD

[SuperSteve]

Congrats. You now have a rep for being an adult who watches Sesame Street.

Creep.

-Edited for the :)

[adorie]

@Steve don't be so defensive
He could have grown up with Sesame Street. Besides, the controller is very nice, the console on the other hand..

[PigPen]

That really do, so much so I feel I will just melt holding it. The Xbox360 was the best controller current gen. No need for fanboys to get their panties in a bunch, it's just my opinion. And the Wii remote is not a controller to me. This could beat out the Wii U's controller although they're almost similar.

[KingKelloggTheWH]

The controller was the best part of the show,it actually looks good!

[NegativeCreepWA]

Yup, and one of the most important things about a console.

[ShabbaRanks]

The controller is the only good thing that came out of the conference, but I dont need a controller like that to just watch TV a controller like that needs games and I didnt see much...

[NegativeCreepWA]

Do you really think there will be no games? MS said a month ago the conference was going to concentrate on the console and features, and they did just that.

In under a month they have a conference at E3 to show off the games.

Edit: You know, disagreeing doesn't change a fact right?

[GamersRulz]

AA batteries?!

I swear xbox one reveal was like 1993. Boring design from the 90's plus AA batteries.

hahaha, I swear MS have the worst designers ever.

[Root]

Microsoft is more of software company not a hardware company

[Donnieboi]

handles look too small.

[PS4isKing_82]

Wonderful looking controller. I almost want an Xbox one JUST for the controller lol :D

[Jek_Porkins]

Glad they changed the D-pad, and also added an internal battery!

[gamer42]

Why move the X? it as perfect where it was.

[SDF Repellent]

The x placement on the current X360 pad is the one minor thing I really hate about the controller. I can't count the numerous time I accidently hit that silver button while playing a game. By moving it up higher, that won't be any problem anymore.

[SuperSteve]

Based on the pics I've seen today, I believe it's just for show now and not used as the guide button anymore.

[Supermax]

Xbox one has every game that ps4 has except for Sony first party ips and vise versa

[Novistador]

I agree, thats why i will be buying either a ps4 or the new xbox. I own a good pc and a wii u, i just cant decide which to get. At this time they are all kind of "meh"

[Enemy]

And yet you own a Wii U.

[PigPen]

What do you like then if they are all "meh".

[astar123456789]

Wait do I still need batteries or can I plug it in to charge or is their a batterie pack? They need to tell us that soon.

[finbars75]

they said it still takes batteries it was just a smaller compartment for them along with the battery packs as well.they need to ditch that whole thing just silly to me.

[astar123456789]

Thanks!! Well that sucks!!

[--Onilink--]

Have they said if the old ones will still work? Or if we can use this one on a PC with the current adapter?

[Tornadobounce]

Looks shit.

[valanceer]

triggers look huge!

[level 360]

Has similar shape as this -- ( http://www.nyko.com/$assets... )

Wouldn't you agree?

Also noticed N4G hasn't changed the heading on their website with the new XBox - still XB720 written.

[Npugz7]

i like the dualshock 4 better.

[MrAnderson]

I see they still have the left joystick in the wrong place...

[CanadianTurtle]

Most people prefer it like that for shooters. There's sort of like a science behind it. It gives you much better coordination.

But then again, it was never a bad thing to have analog sticks side by side when it came to shooters. I played many FPS games on the PS3's dualshock and I thought the feeling was just fine.
