Xbox Controller S
Here is the information on the new Xbox controller 'Xbox Controller S':
Xbox Controller S is Microsoft’s answer to gamers that wanted more choice, and a controller that better suited their style of play. Smaller than the standard Xbox controller and featuring a new button layout, Xbox Controller S allows gamers to choose the controller most comfortable to them.
The following are differences between Xbox Controller S (available at retail) and Xbox Controller (available at retail, and packaged inside all Xbox Video Game Systems).
Size/Comfort — Xbox Controller S is smaller. This design enables gamers with smaller hands a proper fit and is more comfortable for them during extended periods of play.
Primary Button Placement — With Xbox Controller S, the new button placement is a more traditional cross layout. The four primary buttons are easier to reach, which is an important feature in certain games where quick button combination selection is necessary.
Ease of Reach for Secondary Buttons — The black and white buttons are located below the primary buttons instead of at the top of the controller.
Revised D-pad Surface — For improved directional movement, the surface of the D-pad has been modified into a cross pattern.
Start/Back Buttons— These buttons are now located below the left thumbstick.
Thumbstick Surfaces — The surfaces on the thumbsticks have been changed slightly, and an increase in surface area allows more thumb room.
Xbox Controller S is slightly different from the Japanese controller in the following ways:
Cable Length — The length of the controller cable has increased from 2.5 meters to 3 meters.
Updated Button Appearance — To more closely resemble Xbox Controller, the look of the primary buttons has been updated.
Revised D-pad Surface— Minor improvements in the D-pad surface make it more comfortable for extended play.
Revised Start/Back Button Height — To reduce inadvertent actuation of the buttons, the height of the start/back buttons has been lowered by a few millimeters.
Stronger Springs in the Triggers — For better tactile feedback and a more intense gameplay experience, the springs in the triggers have been reinforced.
Jewel Color—The green jewel has been replaced with a black Xbox jewel.
