[T.O.P]

and price

and where do I pre-order

Pretty much


Getting this and the Steam Controller both on D1


I love these kind of new peripherals!!!

 

[TheOhrenberger.]

I want it. I need it!

 

[FLAguy954]

I'll still pick up a Steam controller as it has the potential for a lot more configs but this might end up being the best analog-based controller of all time with Pinnacle and Xpadder profiles.

 

[mrklaw]

Apparently it has an Xbox One app that you can use to customize it further

Well, it's in the OP but here's a picture

Hey MS, let us adjust on a per-game basis. Please?

 

[Dr.Acula]

Woah.

I thought I was fine with my 360 controller on PC, but this thing looks fucking amazing. I'm much more excited about this than the Valve controller.

 

[gus-gus]

Ugh thought I was leaving gaming for while. Microsoft impressed me today. Put me down for about two of these bad boys. Sigh, oh well back to it I guess.

 

[Duffman]

That looks pretty slick. I'll probably buy one of these for PC.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I WANT IT!

 

[Stimpack]

You can just buy the rechargeable battery packs and have the best of both worlds.

Do I still have to take the batteries out of the controller to charge them?

 

[The Boat]

I'm totally getting one of these when I make my new PC.

 

[Jinkies]

Any way to get mouse stuff going like with the DS4 or Steam Controller?

This is essential sometimes. Even Steam Big Picture freaks out and I need to use a mouse to dislodge the UI from a buggy place.

 

[ironcreed]

Looks superb. Will be buying one for sure.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Damn, that D-Pad looks like it has potential. An actual official modular controller though, amazing.

 

[TURBO1112]

Do I still have to take the batteries out of the controller to charge them?

Nope. I charge my X1 controllers with micro USB and never take out the battery.

 

[_machine]

Looks really good and I totally missed the configurable D-Pad in the presentation, but I do kinda hope they've modified the ergonomics of the triggers as it's probably the only thing for me personally where I much prefer the 360 pad. Pricing might be an issue, but I could really see myself buying one.

 

[BleedOrange]

I will pay upwards of $120 for this. I need this ASAP!

 

[Jb]

Seems like I found my new PC controller

 

[Archpath1]

Xbox app aye?
Do i sense remapping buttons?

 

[T.O.P]

Are these on the showfloor by any chance? i wanna see more hands-on!

 

[Regiruler]

Customization is cool. Hope the swapouts come with the controller.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I'd rather get a new controller every 5-10 years and have the convenience of micro USB charging. That's just my preference, though.

You can just buy the rechargeable battery packs and have the best of both worlds.

I hope this controller has an easily accessible standard-type battery pack. I prefer just swapping out a fresh charged battery in two seconds to leaving something plugged in.

It's bad on my PS3 when my controller is dying at the same time I want to turn off my system. I either leave my system on so my controller can charge or I leave my controller half-dead on the table so I can use it with a cord next time I boot up.

 

[Kinsella]

Xbox app aye?
Do i sense remapping buttons?

Considering there's a picture of the remap screen on this very page...

 

[link1201]

So glad I held off on buying a new controller.

 

[SirRyanOfSmeg]

This was my favourite thing at the MS conference. Does anyone know how much it will cost in the UK?

 

[dr. apocalipsis]

Bundle with PC dongle please amd would buy full price at lauch.

Hope you can recharge batteries with an USB cable without removing them.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Can I just keep it plugged into my pc via usb port until the end of time without having to worry about batteries or wireless connections? If not, then my failing 360 wired controller is still king.

 

[thenexus6]

This needs like 3-5 presets you can activate on the fly depending on what game you're playing.

 

[Bsigg12]

Yes. You can do that now with an Xbox One controller.

 

[D4Danger]

the xbox one controller works without batteries if it's wired.

 

[watership]

Do I still have to take the batteries out of the controller to charge them?

Nope. Just plug in the usb cable. If you buy the play and charge kit you get a 9 foot USB cable too.

 

[Lee]

The picture above shows 'Configuration A 1' so I believe that's exactly what we're getting.

 

[Archpath1]

Considering there's a picture of the remap screen on this very page...

Picture wasn't loading. Lol cool though

That's cause i wanted a new controller too

 

[chadskin]

Look for Controller Companion on Steam, works really great.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

So they saw the Steam controller and figured they'd take some of it's good ideas.

 

[The Flash]

I was gonna get one of the updated regular controllers but I'll get this instead.

 

[galvatron]

In for a pad, pass on the system.

Looks amazing.

 

[qa_engineer]

So if the original Xbone controller cost MS millions upon millions to create how much did this cost them

 

[ieptbarakat]

Yes. You can do that now with an Xbox One controller.

What about this new controller, does it plug in from the bottom?

 

[Three]

Is that Forza thing like a JogCon?

Not sure if that's a serious question but no. It's just a round "d-pad".

 

[FLAguy954]

This version of the controller was probably included in their R&D.

 

[Lee]

Now it makes sense why they changed from USB to wireless firmware updates for the new controllers. I've only updated my controller firmware twice, so it seemed odd that they made that a priority, as it was easy to just plug it in once every 12 months or whatever, but with button mapping it would be a pain to have to plug it in for every change you made.

 

[Kinsella]

So if the original Xbone controller cost MS millions upon millions to create how much did this cost them

Didn't give a shit what they spent on the other controller, don't give a shit what they spent on this one. As a gamer all I care about is that they keep making the best controllers.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

So if the original Xbone controller cost MS millions upon millions to create how much did this cost them

This likely came out of that R&D
Edit: beaten haha

 

[JaggedSac]

Cool.

 

[kvothe]

Really, though. It's $150. I know a person.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I hope the paddles aren't just connected to the same contacts as ABXY. Can we map the paddles independently or are they physically tied to the ABXY mappings?

 

[Tokubetsu]

Why couldn't this be in stores now/this week ='(

 

[Kinsella]

Really, though. It's $150. I know a person.

It's listed at 89 dollars on Amazon Canada.

 

[stilgar]

149$ ahah ok

 

[NeonDelta]

was going to buy an Xbone controller to use on PC, will definitely buy this
