New D-Pad
The newly designed D-pad for the Xbox Series X was created to boost performance and accessibility for different types of players. Considering that some games require very technical and accurate movements with the D-pad, the well-defined edges will help out with that.
Also, the deeper spot in the middle of the button will feel nice and comfy while you rest your thumb on it. If you’re someone who enjoyed the D-pad from the Elite controller, this one will be a hybrid of that and the original Xbox One controller so you should feel right at home with it.
The controller will also have a tactile dot pattern on the triggers and bumpers to enhance the grip and feel and the D-pad, bumpers, and triggers will now have a sleek matte finish that’ll feel nice and smooth during gameplay sessions.
The Xbox Series X is planned to launch this holiday season. No price or actual release date has been confirmed.
