Take a close up look at what the new XBox One controller looks like from the inside out. Microsoft boasts that over 40 brand spanking new improvements have been made to the new controller including a screw less design, Battery hump is gone(hallelujah!!!) The new battery is thinner so there is no hump on the bottom of the controller. The D pad has received a significant upgrade, in other words a "Nintendo + sign" D Pad was added. The joysticks are slightly smaller but now have a deeper divot at the top so thumbs should stay in place a lot easier and not go flying off the joystick during a heated gameplay session. Impulse triggers, so Microsoft has added smaller rumble motors to the left and right triggers, I see how this could create a more immersive experience in racing games and shooters for example. As mentioned in the video it would be pretty cool to feel your ABS kicking in on your brake trigger under heavy braking in a racing game but will this add a new level of immersion than the standard dual rumble setup offers? There is now an IR blaster located on the forward face (near the wireless sync button) that communicates with Kinect 2. This can allows the system to determine who is holding the controller. Improved face button layout and design. Gotta say I like the design, looks sleek and should be very comfortable during long gaming sessions. No mention of PC support yet but there is no doubt that it will, after all, the XboxOne demos at E3 were powered by PCs........just saying.
