Xbox SKYer via Kotaku

Chinese site Xbox Skyer has what's reported to be a teardown of an Xbox One controller picked up in Dongguan, China. That's a major port city where many goods pass through for export.

Are devkits also produced in China or does that mean that MS is already producing and stocking controllers for retail? As there is no console photo, I guess this is the controller-only SKU if this controller is no fake and for retail.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

No images for me.

I just tried to upload one to imgur but it gave me an error.

:/

Try rehosting them somewhere OP.

 

[M.D]

Looks like the extra RAM is hidden in the controller! ESRAM 192 GB/s confirmed

Done

 

[Xater]

Yep that looks like a controller. Don't know what revelations people expect from that.

 

[Impeccable]

These photos prove without a shadow of a doubt that the Dual Shock 4 will be the superior controller in every aspect of the game.

 

[miked808]

No vibration motors in that breakdown.

 

[careless mango]

Looks legit enough. Can't wait to get my hands on that controller...

No vibration motors in that breakdown.

He skipped a few steps, no sticks or d-pad or anything.

 

[iceatcs]

Why is that rumour? Curious.

Anyway it didn't look so high technical. I want to see the vibrate trigger.

what did I just read?

:O

 

[ekim]

*shrugs* maybe they are in the triggers and not on the PCB... don't know.

This is a joke post, right?

 

[szaromir]

I would love to see how rumble in the triggers is implemented actually.

Do I have a sarcasm detector malfunction?

 

[Red Liquorice]

The letters on the buttons make it look really cheap, like each one would give a different fart noise. I don't remember the 360 pad looking so ugly.

Yep it is simply impeccable

 

[ElTorro]

Cheap chinese knock-off of a controller. The left stick is clearly in the wrong position.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

My gut tells me these are fake. Not that it matters.

Sarcasm sensor test completed successfully.

 

[miked808]

Looks like it's going to be more difficult to rapid fire mod that thing. Which of course is a good thing.

 

[LAA]

Shame.
Only interesting thing I was looking forward to in this was the rumble triggers, which isnt evident.
Oh well, cool to see what here kinda I guess anyway.

What I really cant wait to see is PS4 console break down, followed by its controller...

 

[pieatorium]

Yeah I'm only interested i the cheap chinese official controller

 

[Savitar]

Going to say fake as well.

Also this reminds me, we're going to see people buying a new system and smashing it in front of others aren't we.

Happens with every new system that comes out.

 

[Omni]

Looks like a controller.

 

[I-hate-u]

It is just me, or is the X1 controller smaller than the 360 pad?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

So can someone translate the last picture? Something awesome must have been discovered to justify ''!!!''

 

[Caayn]

It is just me, or is the X1 controller smaller than the 360 pad?

I believe that it was confirmed that the X1 controller is slightly smaller than the 360 controller.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Yeah, it is. Although, very small difference.

The first character means "hard" as in hard and soft. That is the extent of my knowledge, sorry

 

[soqquatto]

I would honestly file this under the "so what?" label

 

[Cerity]

could be legit, I don't see why a fake would bother with the inner plastic frame. There's also slots for motors/vibration.

Troll?

 

[manzo]

Not sure if a troll or not, but this controller will shit all over the DS4.

I wish I could have this controller with the PS4...

 

[M.D]

Seriously tho, can't wait to get my hands on both these controllers.
I think that's the most exciting thing for me for these new consoles ;p

 

[Ushae]

Not sure if a troll or not, but this controller will shit all over the DS4.

I'm hesitant to agree but I think X1 will be a superior controller in most areas too. Hard to say without actually using them both.

Dat impulse trigger

 

[ElTorro]

I heard that the controller does not use bluetooth but wireless LAN to connect to the console? Will you be able to connect the controller to a PC?

 

[ekim]

Depending on how the signal looks someone will probably write something. But I guess it's natively supported by W8

I'm glad this is all settled before the consoles come out.

First I was agree with you from the look, and enjoy with 360 pad on PC. But after I saw the buttons, I think I shall to worry.

 

[Kokonoe]

And the controller wars have begun.

 

[Fergie]

Talk about irony.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I'm having a hard time figuring out this image.

- The top board is right-side-up and has the analog sticks.
- The bottom board is upside-down (look at the placement of start and back in relation to the face buttons).

If that's true, then why does the board only have three face buttons?

 

[Mandoric]

What's up with the face button and dpad contacts looking so different, and the A button contact being on a completely separate board?

Were you trying to outdo his troll? Well, you succeeded.

No, the top one is upside-down (?)

[edit]Oh, no, the fourth face button is on the other board. They overlap.

They go over the top of one another, the hole in the bottom board goes over the sticks on the top board. The top board has 3 of the face buttons, the lower board (upper in the picture) has the forth.

 

[madmackem]

I can't remember seeing that seam down the back on e3 photos?.

No buddy, I think this poor guy is serious.

Heartbroken Xbox player

[Unregistered007]

Looks like the extra RAM is hidden in the controller! ESRAM 192 GB/s confirmed

LOL... RAM in your hand ? dat cloud computing.

 

[Unregistered007]

I been meaning to ask, how to you turn on the Xbox ONE ? do you have to say XBOX ON? The Guide button is dead ?

 

[Error Macro]

Better make sure they're not trying to hide DRM somewhere on those PCBs.
