Xbox 360 Controller An Xbox One

The Xbox One controller has over 40 improvements over the Xbox 360 controller, and while a few are noticeable correct away, it's hard to gauge the rest without a side-by-side comparison.

That'southward why we gave the Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamepads an impromptu photoshoot at a Microsoft E3 2013 event final nighttime.

• Here'southward out updated review of the Xbox 1

Thanks to to our hands-on time and fondness for lugging around our seven-yr-old controller, we can share the Microsoft vs Microsoft friction match-upward with yous.

All of the tweaked buttons, grips, ports and tighter dimensions of the Xbox One controller over its out-to-pasture predecessors can exist easily contrasted.

The Xbox One controller is sleeker everywhere merely in the sticks - and that's a good thing

Xbox One vs Xbox 360 analog sticks

The Xbox One's redesigned analog sticks are the most eye-catching change on the front end of the new gamepad vs the Xbox 360 controller.

These thinner joysticks are surrounded by a micro-texture grip on the edges, meaning it'due south much more than difficult to have a example of thumb slippage. That'southward vital for marathon gaming.

Just every bit important is that the analog sticks take 25 percent less force to move them. Dead zone has been tightened to the point that the slightest amount of movement can be registered by developers.

'1' heck of a better D-Pad

Microsoft representatives admitted that the Xbox 360 controller's D-Pad was severely lacking at the E3 event.

That'south why the visitor redesigned the directional pad to annals distinct presses. After all, it did just unveil Killer Instinct for Xbox One after the fighting franchise's 17-yr hiatus.

The sleeker, concave Xbox One D-Pad fits this game and other fighters perfectly thanks to the ability to perform sweeping movements.

Face, Xbox Guide button tweaks

The final changes Microsoft fabricated in designing the front end of its Xbox One controller are so slight you may miss them.

The iv face buttons have been moved closer together. Now X, Y, A, and B are easier to access when a game requires twitch button presses during those overused quick time events.

While the face buttons are tighter together, the Xbox Guide button is out on its ain at the top of the controller. No more accidental presses of this ho-hum-to-boot menu button.

In the centre now are what Microsoft calls the View and Menu buttons, replacing the back and showtime buttons that have been in that location since the kickoff Xbox controller.

Wider trigger and bumper buttons

This 'One' tops all

Checking out the top of the Xbox One controller shows that the trigger and bumper buttons are completely dissimilar than what is found on the Xbox 360.

The correct and left trigger buttons are much wider on the Xbox Ane, while its left and correct bumper buttons are obviously more pronounced, ascent out of the controller.

The trigger and bumper button area has been expanded so much that they are actually next to each other, making your finger overlap between them experience much more natural when gaming.

As well, you'll notice that the top, next to the sync push button, is a micro USB port instead of the Xbox 360 Charge and Play cablevision connection.

Coolest feature all the same to come

The top of the Xbox One controller as well contains infrared sensors that the always-on Kinect picks upward.

This makes it then that when a second person picks upwardly a controller, information technology knows to automatically sync them as player two.

Even better is a feature that hasn't been built into whatever games still, but sounds pretty astonishing.

Split-screen multiplayer could theoretically modify sides using the Xbox One's IR sensors and 1080p Kinect by determining where the controllers (and by extension players) are in a room.

That's the blazon of innovative characteristic more than developers need to get backside - forth with separate-screen multiplayer again.

Impulse triggers

Microsoft is actually hyping its impulse triggers that "bring games to life" and are "a whole new canvas for [developers] to piece of work on."

Disregarding the marketing, force feedback in the correct and left trigger buttons does make a game more enjoyable than the terminal-generation rumble.
