..."The Xbox One pad is similar in weight, mould and texture to the 360's. However, prolonged play reveals some very key differences in the way its inputs function."



..."Tightened analogue dead-zones make games like DriveClub eminently easier to control, but the bigger change here is in the friction of the sticks - increased to bring it closer to the pressure needed on the Xbox One's."

Most importantly, it's about the games and the interface we use.

I'll just use my spine as a third thumb stick.

I heard there was huge player backlash when Sony tried to change the controller shape. Their controllers are made for small Asian hands.

That won't happen.

Thumb sticks for DS4 are still too close together; the offset design for the Xbox 360/ONE controller are more comfortable for people that don't have tiny hands.

The lamest part is neither next generation controller will support current generation game pads. Then again it's M$ and $ony.

I for one am actually glad they never changed that.

The PS3 controllers hurt my hands because there's no place to put my pinky, glad to see them increase the size.
I've never had this issue... just curl your pinkies under the controller...

Xbone controller is WiFi Direct over 802.11n. So yeah, not happening with the old receiver.

My six year old white 360 pad is doing fine still. One set of thumbsticks replaced, but that's it. I got a new black one before I realized the sticks were so easy to swap and the boomerang area on the bottom is glossy and slippery as snot (long fingers), not to mention squeaky/creaky triggers.

I always hated the left thumb stick layout on the ps3 and ps4 after playing the type s controller on the first xbox, then 360, but it was livable, but what wasn't livable was how small the controller is, my thumbs and pointing fingers always got sore after an hour playing on the ps3, never had a problem with the 360. I have PS4 preordered I will see if they have done anything for the better. Still getting a xbone

I really hope that the Xbox one controller is as perfect (imho) as the 360 one, i really need to buy a new one, old one is beaten to hell and still works perfectly
