New Xbox One resistive controller triggers detailed in Microsoft patents

Newly-surfaced patents explore adjustable-tension triggers, aiming to enhance controller feedback.

The above link shows their concept of force feedback triggers from 2019

The tweet below has some images which have a December 2020 date on them (so I am going to assume it was a patent renewal)



They might add this stuff to the Elite Series 3 Controller

Adaptive triggers on the DualSense are pretty awesome. I am assuming that's what I am looking at here (the MS equivalent), which would be really cool for Xbox gamers.

I originally said that they would wait till next gen to do resistance in the triggers but putting it into the elite 3 makes sense. Big new feature to help push it.

Good of them to join the party. This is a win for Xbox owners though and they must be rushing this through due to its praise on PS5. Kind of shitty IF they had the tech but decided to just put it in the expensive controllers only though.

I don’t see elite 3 only, devs wouldn’t bother for such a small percentage of controllers.

The patent is old. They were rumoured to have considered this for the Series controllers but opted against it likely for cost saving measures.

Fair point.

If they can make them feel better than the Dual Sense "crushing a plastic bottle" at the max resistance, and NOT have them squeaking constantly then I'd be pretty happy about it.

Didn't OG Xbox One controllers already have force-feed back triggers? I remember playing Forza Motorsport 5 during November 2013 launch week and being able to feel the wheel to gravel feedback through the triggers.

Rumble triggers, they just vibrate
