The last feature worth noting is that it comes packed with a USB cable to connect it to your PC and two AA batteries. You'll also find the rubberized grip here, as well as lock mechanisms for the triggers that allow you to halve the press of the right and left trigger buttons. If you don't like the paddles, you can either remove them from the controller or simply disable them by pressing the sync button at the top of the controller twice. At first I thought they might interfere with how I usually grip the controller - like most gamers I place pressure on the wings with my palms and three outside fingers - and for a few irritating seconds when I first started using the controller that's exactly what happened.īut Microsoft has given this controller real thought, and have left no stone unturned. There you'll find the four aforementioned paddles, aptly named P1, P2, P3 and P4. Spin the controller around and things get more interesting. The six other face buttons - share, menu, A,B,XY - aren't any different than their standard controller counterpart with the exception of their color: they're all jet black. I found the former more comfortable than the latter, but I could see the latter coming in handy, too. The other interchangeable part, the d-pad, comes in two flavors: a standard cross or the new 360-degree "solar panel" design. (The arcade-style sticks are excellent for fighting games, by the way.) The standard sticks are the concave rubber pads you might know and love already on the Xbox One, but other options include convex PS3-style sticks or extra long, arcade-style pieces if those are more your thing. There are three magnetic interchangeable parts on the face of the controller - the d-pad and the two thumbsticks. It's heavier by far, and more comfortable too thanks to the rubberized grip and amazingly smooth matte finish. Hold it in your hands for a minute and you'll instantly feel the big changes over the standard Xbox One pad. But after the six hours passed I hadn't found anything that annoyed me that couldn't either be swapped out, recalibrated or reprogrammed. For the first six hours with the controller I pored over every detail trying to find something that didn't live up to the price tag. It's hard to spot a serious design flaw with Microsoft's new control pad.
