Am I the only one that actually likes the approach of an AA Battery as opposed to a internal glued battery in other controllers? I actually really like that you can exchange the batteries when they die instead of having to buy a new controller like it happens with too many other products already...
mc2480 LP I was talking about rechargable batteries, not regular ones. Being able to change them would be good for us, since we only have to buy a 10€/$ Battery instead of a 60€/$ Controller...
I think the batteries are a convenience. If it had an internal battery it could be a problem if it dies. Having a removable battery pack makes it an easy fix. It would have been good if the rechagable battery back came with the controller though, or at least one that came with the console.
***** I have, and I would probably do that if you couldn't just get a battery pack for the controller. I was essentially replying to the people above saying that they *love* changing the AA batteries. I don't expect them to talk about rechargeable ones.
iAwesomeDuck IGN I was thinking the same thing. As a parent of several children, I've got like 100 rechargeable AA's ready to go for whatever toy happens to run out of juice. I understand most people won't have quite that many laying around but, I find it very convenient to use that supply for the xbox controllers as well. I would much rather a commonly used power supply than a proprietary pack that could only be used with that controller. I mean, if I had purchased a proprietary pack for the xbox 360 controllers, I probably wouldn't be able to use it in the xbox one controllers and I certainly wouldn't be able to use it on any of my kids' toys but, my AA's work everywhere... I love that. I say stick with the AA's because they are more universally useful. The rest of you, quit bitchin ;P
I own a PS4 and I still think the 360's controller is the best controller ever made. PS4's controller is an obvious second best. Cant wait to get my manly hands on the Xbox Ones sleek and sexy controller.

@The Stranger my ps4 controllers have been working perfectly for the past 5 years. Now all of a sudden they're starting to get issues. They're probably towards the end of their lifespan.
Uhhh... what's wrong with using AA batteries? It's super convenient... and shouldn't everyone own rechargable batteries by now? I'm still using the same rechargeable AA's I've had for the past 4 years...
I prefer having AA batteries because when rechargeable AAs no longer hold a charge, I just have to replace the batteries. When having an internal battery, I'd have to take apart the controller to replace the battery. I had that problem with the PS3 controller.
It's also sort of a trade off with the rechargeable battery packs vs built in though, because you have to realize when that built in battery is recharged so many times over the months/years it might not last as long as it used to on one recharge, and you'd just have to buy a whole new controller vs just replacing the Play & Charge Kit.
I got a PS3 at launch and I still am using that controller and not have to change the battery or had a problem, hell I am playing xrebirth with it right now.

Everyone already knows why the X1 controller is better than the 360's. But here's a quick run-down of why the 360's are better than the X1's: - less loose analogs causes more precision in shooters - shoulder buttons are fairly simple to use - triggers are better when they feel like triggers, X1's triggers feel like a large button - sides are slightly less angled, which compliments your thumb's sense of x-axis & y-axis (not much of a pro, but it's something) Now here's the opposite list, pro's for the X1 controller: - X1's controllers have a better D-pad - impulse triggers - the rubber on the analog sticks don't peel off - the plastic doesn't have those strange rises that the 360's have around the analog sticks (not much of a pro, but it's something) - a tackier and less cheaper feel - smaller controller allows slightly more mobility, smaller analog stick allows slightly less ambiguity Over-all, there are still reasons why the Xbox 360's controller is better; but there are also reasons for why the X1's controller is better. The 360 may have a terrible d-pad and is a cheaper build-quality in some areas, but overall I feel that the X1 controller's bumpers, triggers and analog stick were a huge downgrade from the 360's. They tried fixing what wasn't broke. And since the bumpers, triggers and analog stick are the *main* strong points of the 360's, I feel as though the Xbox One ultimately failed at creating a controller that surpasses the 360's controller.
AA batteries in your controller is perfect! 1.) Buy 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger in a kit friggin anywhere 2.) Put 2 in your controller 3.) When those run out, switch to fresh ones and put the others on the charger 4.) Win forever
Personally I love the fact it takes AA batteries! They last so much longer (days of gameplay) and can be recharged and changed out easily. Unlike my PS4 controllers which last about max 3 hours of gameplay, and then Id have to sit a couple of inches from my 50inch tv. If not for my mobile charger...
back then when the 360 came out: hey jack let's come to my house to play some halo 3 while we take turns with the controller. nowa days with the Xbox one: hey jack let's make a party on Xbox and play some cod while we stay at our houses drinking mountain dew and looking our doors so no one can bother us.
I don't like the Xbox 360's buttons, it feels cheap and plastic-ish. I prefer the PS3 plus the dual sticks are way better than the xbox 360, the Dpad for Sony's controller is way way better. It's just the buttons are really crap in Xbox 360, I hope in Xbox one's controller will get something better for the buttons.
New controller is so cool. I like the battery thing, Ps4's like a phone battery. In the beginning you charge it and lasts ages but the battery wares out and eventually you'll be charging it every 3 hours. my guess anyway
Your guess is correct, rechargeable batteries work through a chemical reaction, when you recharge them, the chemical reaction is reversed, but each recharges shorted the life of the next reaction, eventually it will be unable to have a strong enough reaction to power the controller
Rakurai Kitsune Isn't the battery life on the DS4 already short? And with an internal battery and a rechargeable pack, sounds like a smartphone. Made to wear out. Neither of us know if anything will be like that with the Xbone controller, but sure sounds like a smartphone design.

But in all seriousness I'll let you off the hook. based on your english skills you probably don't even know what sarcasm means or how to use it correctly. Sarcasm is not implied simply by saying something you don't believe. Nice try. Go back to school.
Guess Im strange because I never had trouble with the D-pad on the 360 controller. Best controller ever made. Though I plan to get a PS4 sometimes. Going to miss that 360 controller. I hope the PS4 controller is comfortable.
yeah ps4 controller gets the job done and feels much better than the ps3 controller but man do i miss my 360 controller. honestly, the xbox one controller is a huge downgrade compared to the old 360 controller *sigh*
The best thing on this controller apart from its design is actually the battery pack being able to be used with replaceable batteries. I see absolutely no advantage on having a internal battery which will one day not charge anymore and turn into an old school wired controller.
The only part I disagree with is the battery pack. I admit not including rechargeable batteries is a bummer, but not forcing you to replace the whole damn controller when the batter dies is a far bigger bummer. My PS3 controller has long since been dead, and has to be plugged in to use. Considering the length of the cable it comes with, that means I have to sit pretty damn close. I would rather change packs, then whole controllers IMO.
and yet the first DS3 I got when they released is still going strong. Anyways, maybe they just need a middle road (both systems). Make the packs changeable, but ship with a rechargeable pack installed.
No, you got a faulty controller. I have never even heard of a PS3 controller's battery dying out. This isn't even a matter of opinion. Playstation's re-chargeable battery is the best choice in any situation. Period.
I agree with you 100%. I went through 3 rechargeable packs for the 360 controller. They are expensive when you have to replace them all the time. Decided to switch to rechargeable AA. I haven't been happier. It's nice that I can use them in not only my controllers but any other device.
X360 controller is one of the greatest controllers of all time, hands down and X1 controller looks pretty good as well. PS4 controller has also made huge improvements over it's predecessor so good work Sony on making some improvements.
If the xbox one controller had built in trigger stoppers like the xbox 360 had when it first came out, it would be my favourite controller. Trigger Stops are designed to reduce trigger latency by eliminating the travel required past the activation point of the trigger.
the good thing with AA-batteries is that they last long and can be replaced. After two years of use with an internal battery you are probably gonna see a decline in battery-time. With AA you can simply replace the battery.
Josef Hautala The 360 controller is the best gamepad in history. To suggest that Sony can make a controller better than the 360 is ludicrous and retarded. The DS4 controller is an improvement over the DS3 but it is nowhere near perfect!
Josef Hautala "Well imo the PS4** is superior. Better thumb sticks, d-pad, and more comfortable in the hands due to it not having a fat battery pack on the back. Also the touch pad is fucking awesome and will be really fun to use with future games." Bro...Thats your opinion.
Before people complain about AA batteries, just remember that you can always buy rechargeables, and then just pop in new ones when the batteries die, instead of waiting for them to charge
Ps4 looks miles better especially with the touch pad, triggers, wider analog which are now concave etc, however Xbone controller stills looks good namely because they haven't innovated whatsoever, don't fix it if it isn't broke I guess?
I do hope that a wired option comes out eventually. I haven't been keeping up on the news but I would like to not deal with any of the wireless issues and have a dedicated constant connection.
Hi , actually , this controller you could say it's 2 in 1 , when you plug in the microusb , it powers down the wireless card and becomes a wired controller to give you that "dedicated constant connection" Major Nelson's controller presentation video explains this. :)
The X aah I don't know that it fixes all of the mistakes the fact that it still requires AA batteries is kind of ridiculous. C'mon Microsoft is that all your costumers are worth.
He said that he's been using the controller for a dozen hours or so and the batteries are still going strong. Yet the D4 fully has only 7-8 hours of life. Hmmmmm so everyone, is the X1 controller un-next-gen for its use of batteries, or is it an extremely good decision on Microsoft's part?
Actually the 2 AA batteries are the best solution. Internal battery as in the DS4 can die on you so you have to replace it yourself (this will void the warranty) or you just have to buy a new controller. The optional kit made by MS is decent but still it makes your controller wired when charging, unless you buy 2 packs, and they are expensive. Meanwhile, you can get rechargeable AA batteries real cheap, you can choose whatever capacity you want - 2000mAh batteries will easily last 20h of playing with vibrations. If they die, you can replace them cheap again, though they should last for about 500 cycles. Buy 4 of them and you get 2 cheap battery packs which are always ready to go (and you don't need to hassle with charging, just get a socket charger). Eneloops can sit for a year and still should have 80% charge.
Been a PS boy all my life but what I really like about xBox controllers are the triggers. now that they have those rumble stuff is reeally getting me excited to try. And yes can we all agree that its just preference on which controller they like? I like the ps4 controller mostly because the sticks are together and the battery is internal which is less hassle
I've played with the X1 controller at gamescom and I have to say it is a step forward but it didn't feel as ergonomic as the 360. It's a little bit more angular in the hands and you have to get used to the slightly bigger feel of it. Besides this, the controller is almost perfect!
Wait a minute... the PS4 and Wii U use a recharger and have a touch screen and have a number of 1080p games... Xbox One seems like... a slight improvement over the Xbox 360... their doesn't really seem to be much of a difference.
AA batteries are better: 1. If you run out of charge, you can put new ones in 2 seconds instead of playing wired while it's charging 2. Built in battery packs degrade over time and you need to replace the whole controller if the battery becomes weak ($50) where as if your rechargeable batteries become weak just get new ones ($5) 3. If you lose your charging cable, built-in battery controller dies
AA batteries are worse 1. Batteries are expensive and only last about two weeks 2. Over two years of batteries is about over 200$ alone vs internal battery that last 5 years 50$ for controller 3. Charger is USB cable. A lot of people have more than one Personal Experiences
Rechargeable batteries cost 5$ and I've been using the same rechargeable batteries for over 2 years. No battery holds the same amount of charge for 5 years. for example a 3 year old laptop gets half the battery life it did when it was new.
NO never switch to an internal battery, this dude has no clue how bad that is. Let use choose our battery types and be happy. Rechargeables are the way to go, pick up MH-C9000 Advanced charger with some of the Powerex AA and those will last you the life of your console, or the controller. Don't buy cheap rechargeables or chargers, they don't last the years (Energizer, Duracell have been crappy).
Xbox 360 is better cuz two things, 1:the battery life on 360 lasts much longer. 2: the bumpers on the other Xbox are really hard to hold down without applying extreme force
Looks brilliant but it really needs: A speaker (you'll never go back after having a speaker on a Wii U GamePad-sounds great) And an accelerometer as I love the accelerometer in the Wii U pad. I may sound like a fanboy and I recognise that the Wii U controller (and system) isn't the best out there but Nintendo got a HELL of a lot right.
actually they use the AA rechargeable batteries so that it is very easy and cheaper to replace unlike a dedicated batteries that you have to purchase in a dedicated xbox store or amazon whereas the AA batteries that can be found almost anywhere, and much more cheaper.
Def but thanks to dumbass people complaining about things like this, they'll change it afterwards. An example would be the external PSU wich I still like more since it generates 2 much heat internal but thanks to dumbasses like this guy making videos they changed it.
Battery time weeks longer on Xbox 360 controller. Buttons that stop working happens alot faster on Xbox one controller. And that fact makes me like 360 controller more. I wish i could use the 360 controllers on my Xbox One
Typical IGN, i knew he had no idea what he was talking about as soon as he said "having AA batteries at all", as if being able to buy two sets of eneloops for the price of 1 proprietary integrated battery [so you could have charged batteries ready to go if they go flat mid game] was a bad thing. Honestly what the hell are you thinking?
I'd much rather have a play and charge controller. When one battery dies I just put it on the charger and take the extra battery off the charger and I don't have to physically connect the controller to the console, like with the ps3. I usually play with a greater distance from the tv than the length of the charger cable Sony gives you. I won't be buying the Xbox One for a while as its not worth the price in my opinion. I would prioritize my money in other places. Still it looks like a nice controller.
I had a 360 last gen, but this time I went to Playstation. I went to my friend's house and tried the xbox one. The controller may look similar to its predecessor, but it surely does not feel like it. The 360 controller is 10X better than the xbox one controller. They changed too much with their new controller when it should have stayed exactly the same. My biggest problems with the controller are the bumpers, because they are noticeably far from the triggers and feel awkward when reaching for them. The dpad looks and feels better, but it is still mushy like the disc style dpad. Just overall the 360 controller was more ergonomic and the Xbox one controller feels crammed. Not a bad controller, but not what I expected. 1.Dualshock 4 2. 360 controller 3. Xbox one controller
I'm planning to buy xbone controller for my PC but I'm curious to know if it'll destroy the battery life of a controller by running it constantly connected to usb?
I can play with my usual claw grip on my xbox one controller. The "face" (front) of the controller has more area to work with on my big hands. Area for the dualshock 4 is limited, and the thumbsticks are in a horrible horizontal alignment (as they always were since the original dualshock). The d-pad feels very satisfying when pressing it and the RL Shoulder buttons feel like a satisfying mouse click. How I actually play is I use the base (and side) of my index finger (close to the index finger's base knuckle) pressing the shoulder buttons while having the rest of my index finger on the triggers, so I don't have to move my index finger from RT to RB (or LT to LB). When I'm doing the claw grip I have my middle finger on LT/LB. It's phyically impossible to do that with the dual shock because the R1 and R2 buttons are far apart. There is absolutely no dead zone between the bumpers and triggers for xbox one. Plus the dual shock 4 triggers feel pathetically weak and small compared to xbox one's triggers (plus the vibration on them feels awesome). I love my ps4 but I hate that dual shock 4 with a passion.
As a PlayStation fan, To me if you want to head to current gen Xbox one seems a better choice, i feel like the best console that Sony ever made that Microsoft will never ever touch is the Ps2 in my opinion
The Xbox One controller sold me the console after the reversals. The controller next to the games should be one of the most important things to consider when picking a console.
That is so true and often overlooked. For me it's about games and then controller which is why I'm going Xbox One instead of PS4. The Kinect and multimedia stuff doesn't even interest me that much but the games and controller are pure sex
They lost me when they said it was the best controller ever. PS4's is much better, and I've felt both months ago. Being a normal human beings with proper hands, I like my thumb sticks in the same place. Asymmetrical controls by definition and even not, can never be perfect.
Honestly i like xbox controllers over Playstation controllers mainly because i like the bigger and bulkier size of the Xbox controller. As for where the left thumb stick is doesn't really matter to me.
Welp, I have to say, I don't have neanderthal hands. The PS4 controller is bigger or round the same size as the One/360. The One also has this weird bump on the back and ruins the feeling for your middle fingers and the PS4 doesn't have that. It DOES on the other hand, have the ability to put both fingers on the bumpers/triggers and have it feel comfortable without getting used to it. No other controller can do that.
Jesse Cormier That's because for the 360/One controllers you rest your index fingers on the triggers (those are the primary back buttons for fps's) and reach your index up to access the bumper. Or at least thats how me and my friends hold it.
"They lost me when they said it was the best controller ever. PS4's is much better, and I've felt both months ago." So you couldn't handle another person's opinion? Lol
I completely agree woth the 360 controller being one of the best controllers ever. I use it on PC a lot. The reason I'm most likely getting an Xbox One is the controller, and the exclusives. Ps4 looks cool too, I just never liked the analog sticks location. And the ps4 doesn't have any exclusives right now or in the future that I'm interested in.

I kinda miss the squishy dpad
Everyone already knows why the X1 controller is better than the 360's. But here's a quick run-down of why the 360's are better than the X1's:
- less loose analogs causes more precision in shooters
- shoulder buttons are fairly simple to use
- triggers are better when they feel like triggers, X1's triggers feel like a large button
- sides are slightly less angled, which compliments your thumb's sense of x-axis & y-axis (not much of a pro, but it's something)
Now here's the opposite list, pro's for the X1 controller:
- X1's controllers have a better D-pad
- impulse triggers
- the rubber on the analog sticks don't peel off
- the plastic doesn't have those strange rises that the 360's have around the analog sticks (not much of a pro, but it's something)
- a tackier and less cheaper feel
- smaller controller allows slightly more mobility, smaller analog stick allows slightly less ambiguity
Over-all, there are still reasons why the Xbox 360's controller is better; but there are also reasons for why the X1's controller is better. The 360 may have a terrible d-pad and is a cheaper build-quality in some areas, but overall I feel that the X1 controller's bumpers, triggers and analog stick were a huge downgrade from the 360's. They tried fixing what wasn't broke. And since the bumpers, triggers and analog stick are the *main* strong points of the 360's, I feel as though the Xbox One ultimately failed at creating a controller that surpasses the 360's controller.

yeah ps4 controller gets the job done and feels much better than the ps3 controller but man do i miss my 360 controller. honestly, the xbox one controller is a huge downgrade compared to the old 360 controller *sigh*
Ive skipped the PS4 for now and actually bought me a new 360 controller for my PC lol.

haha i actually traded in my ps4 for an xbone. i preferre xbox controllers anyways. idk i ps4 felt bland. loving the xbox one though
Am waiting for the ps5 rn 😂
The Xbox one feels better in hands than any other but is bad in every other way
The best thing on this controller apart from its design is actually the battery pack being able to be used with replaceable batteries. I see absolutely no advantage on having a internal battery which will one day not charge anymore and turn into an old school wired controller.
I love how you have a Sony TV in the background 😆
The only part I disagree with is the battery pack. I admit not including rechargeable batteries is a bummer, but not forcing you to replace the whole damn controller when the batter dies is a far bigger bummer. My PS3 controller has long since been dead, and has to be plugged in to use. Considering the length of the cable it comes with, that means I have to sit pretty damn close. I would rather change packs, then whole controllers IMO.
and yet the first DS3 I got when they released is still going strong. Anyways, maybe they just need a middle road (both systems). Make the packs changeable, but ship with a rechargeable pack installed.
No, you got a faulty controller. I have never even heard of a PS3 controller's battery dying out. This isn't even a matter of opinion. Playstation's re-chargeable battery is the best choice in any situation. Period.
Hfajardo97 What time is it? It's OPINION TIME!!! You're wrong.
I agree with you 100%. I went through 3 rechargeable packs for the 360 controller. They are expensive when you have to replace them all the time. Decided to switch to rechargeable AA. I haven't been happier. It's nice that I can use them in not only my controllers but any other device.
X360 controller is one of the greatest controllers of all time, hands down and X1 controller looks pretty good as well. PS4 controller has also made huge improvements over it's predecessor so good work Sony on making some improvements.
tbh i like the feel of the xbox 360 controller more
If the xbox one controller had built in trigger stoppers like the xbox 360 had when it first came out, it would be my favourite controller. Trigger Stops are designed to reduce trigger latency by eliminating the travel required past the activation point of the trigger.
I don't care what he said about the 360 controller. I don't have any problems with the d pad.
although im getting a ps4 i love that xbox one controller looks great
the good thing with AA-batteries is that they last long and can be replaced. After two years of use with an internal battery you are probably gonna see a decline in battery-time. With AA you can simply replace the battery.
You can also buy a battery charger
I'm a playstation guy but I prefer the Xbox 360 controller over the Xbox one controller. Dualshock 4>Xbox 360>Xbox one> Dualshock 3
Xbox 360>Dualshock 4>Xbox one>Dualshock 3
Babin K Dualshock3....Seriously? Thats the worst of em all.
Josef Hautala The 360 controller is the best gamepad in history. To suggest that Sony can make a controller better than the 360 is ludicrous and retarded. The DS4 controller is an improvement over the DS3 but it is nowhere near perfect!
Josef Hautala "Well imo the PS4** is superior. Better thumb sticks, d-pad, and more comfortable in the hands due to it not having a fat battery pack on the back.
Also the touch pad is fucking awesome and will be really fun to use with future games."
Bro...Thats your opinion.
Before people complain about AA batteries, just remember that you can always buy rechargeables, and then just pop in new ones when the batteries die, instead of waiting for them to charge
Xbox never lets me down
Ps4 looks miles better especially with the touch pad, triggers, wider analog which are now concave etc, however Xbone controller stills looks good namely because they haven't innovated whatsoever, don't fix it if it isn't broke I guess?
6 YEARS AGO
I like how you can’t loose the battery pack
I do hope that a wired option comes out eventually. I haven't been keeping up on the news but I would like to not deal with any of the wireless issues and have a dedicated constant connection.
Dedicated constant connection? Do you have random things obscuring the path from where you sit to your console? Then wouldn't wireless be better?
Hi , actually , this controller you could say it's 2 in 1 , when you plug in the microusb , it powers down the wireless card and becomes a wired controller to give you that "dedicated constant connection" Major Nelson's controller presentation video explains this. :)
The 360 controller is still king
BEAST COAST Mehhhh, the 360 controller just had too many problems that were never fixed, as with the Xbox one controller fixes all of those mistakes.
The X aah I don't know that it fixes all of the mistakes the fact that it still requires AA batteries is kind of ridiculous. C'mon Microsoft is that all your costumers are worth.
Ikr AA batteries are really outdated
hell yea
Mehhhhh OG Xbox controer still looks cooler than both
personally i still think 360 controller is the best controller of all time.
don't make me laugh
He said that he's been using the controller for a dozen hours or so and the batteries are still going strong. Yet the D4 fully has only 7-8 hours of life. Hmmmmm so everyone, is the X1 controller un-next-gen for its use of batteries, or is it an extremely good decision on Microsoft's part?
***** Oh ok. But are all those features really needed?
time to start the days of stealing battery's from everywhere and everything again!
I am wondering if I should get an XBOX one controller for my PC or a XBOX 360 controller. Any suggestions?
It's funny how I never noticed the difference in the controllers when I play. I just focus on the games.
Am I the only one who actually likes the 360 d-pad?
Edit: yes I know I am 3 years late
Actually the 2 AA batteries are the best solution. Internal battery as in the DS4 can die on you so you have to replace it yourself (this will void the warranty) or you just have to buy a new controller. The optional kit made by MS is decent but still it makes your controller wired when charging, unless you buy 2 packs, and they are expensive.
Meanwhile, you can get rechargeable AA batteries real cheap, you can choose whatever capacity you want - 2000mAh batteries will easily last 20h of playing with vibrations. If they die, you can replace them cheap again, though they should last for about 500 cycles. Buy 4 of them and you get 2 cheap battery packs which are always ready to go (and you don't need to hassle with charging, just get a socket charger). Eneloops can sit for a year and still should have 80% charge.
Been a PS boy all my life but what I really like about xBox controllers are the triggers. now that they have those rumble stuff is reeally getting me excited to try. And yes can we all agree that its just preference on which controller they like? I like the ps4 controller mostly because the sticks are together and the battery is internal which is less hassle
I've played with the X1 controller at gamescom and I have to say it is a step forward but it didn't feel as ergonomic as the 360. It's a little bit more angular in the hands and you have to get used to the slightly bigger feel of it. Besides this, the controller is almost perfect!
Wait a minute... the PS4 and Wii U use a recharger and have a touch screen and have a number of 1080p games... Xbox One seems like... a slight improvement over the Xbox 360... their doesn't really seem to be much of a difference.
None of them are different. just a tad bit advanced.
Agreed
klarkus That's not a difference.
Price point is a difference
thats a good thing, we don't want something good to be changed that much, just improved on.
AA batteries are better:
1. If you run out of charge, you can put new ones in 2 seconds instead of playing wired while it's charging
2. Built in battery packs degrade over time and you need to replace the whole controller if the battery becomes weak ($50) where as if your rechargeable batteries become weak just get new ones ($5)
3. If you lose your charging cable, built-in battery controller dies
AA batteries are worse
1. Batteries are expensive and only last about two weeks
2. Over two years of batteries is about over 200$ alone vs internal battery that last 5 years 50$ for controller
3. Charger is USB cable. A lot of people have more than one
Personal Experiences
Rechargeable batteries cost 5$ and I've been using the same rechargeable batteries for over 2 years.
No battery holds the same amount of charge for 5 years. for example a 3 year old laptop gets half the battery life it did when it was new.
Really? I thought it was 20$
ign choosing xbox one controller over the xbox 360 controller go figure.
NO never switch to an internal battery, this dude has no clue how bad that is. Let use choose our battery types and be happy. Rechargeables are the way to go, pick up MH-C9000 Advanced charger with some of the Powerex AA and those will last you the life of your console, or the controller. Don't buy cheap rechargeables or chargers, they don't last the years (Energizer, Duracell have been crappy).
dat HDCRT dough. it's beautiful
Xbox 360 is better cuz two things, 1:the battery life on 360 lasts much longer. 2: the bumpers on the other Xbox are really hard to hold down without applying extreme force
Jesse White Uhh... I got my Xbox One 3 months ago and neither of my controllers ran out of battery life.
Looks brilliant but it really needs:
A speaker (you'll never go back after having a speaker on a Wii U GamePad-sounds great)
And an accelerometer as I love the accelerometer in the Wii U pad. I may sound like a fanboy and I recognise that the Wii U controller (and system) isn't the best out there but Nintendo got a HELL of a lot right.
The Dualshock 4 has both of those and even more.
I got a PS4 ad before watching this video
8yrs ago. damn
I can't wait to get my hands on the sexy new Xbox controller.
Did you get it lmao
Lmao I have Elite Controller it’s even better
@@ame7677 nope she is poor
Did you get it lol
did u get it?
Damn I loved the candy-like ABXY buttons....
actually they use the AA rechargeable batteries so that it is very easy and cheaper to replace unlike a dedicated batteries that you have to purchase in a dedicated xbox store or amazon whereas the AA batteries that can be found almost anywhere, and much more cheaper.
Def but thanks to dumbass people complaining about things like this, they'll change it afterwards. An example would be the external PSU wich I still like more since it generates 2 much heat internal but thanks to dumbasses like this guy making videos they changed it.
Battery time weeks longer on Xbox 360 controller. Buttons that stop working happens alot faster on Xbox one controller. And that fact makes me like 360 controller more. I wish i could use the 360 controllers on my Xbox One
Xbox One is Way Better than 360 but damn The Xbox 360 Controller Felt Better than The Xbox One Controller
@F3 PLAYZ Graphics?????? It's a controller....
Typical IGN, i knew he had no idea what he was talking about as soon as he said "having AA batteries at all", as if being able to buy two sets of eneloops for the price of 1 proprietary integrated battery [so you could have charged batteries ready to go if they go flat mid game] was a bad thing. Honestly what the hell are you thinking?
do the rumble motors inside the trigger work in windows? Are the games in windows implementing that already ?
To a gamer, the controller is the most important thing outside of the games themselves. Which is why Xbox One is on my shopping list.
I'd much rather have a play and charge controller. When one battery dies I just put it on the charger and take the extra battery off the charger and I don't have to physically connect the controller to the console, like with the ps3. I usually play with a greater distance from the tv than the length of the charger cable Sony gives you. I won't be buying the Xbox One for a while as its not worth the price in my opinion. I would prioritize my money in other places. Still it looks like a nice controller.
the xbox 1 is stupid, the controller is to big, its stupid, the joysticks are stupid, and im stupid.
- Faze Adapt
I agree
i like the 360 controller cuz of the shape that's it
AMAZING Controller, DS 4 is amazing too, got ps4 yesterday, what an amazing time to be a gamer :)
I really don't see a problem if you're given the option to use AA batteries or a rechargeable battery...
I had a 360 last gen, but this time I went to Playstation. I went to my friend's house and tried the xbox one. The controller may look similar to its predecessor, but it surely does not feel like it. The 360 controller is 10X better than the xbox one controller. They changed too much with their new controller when it should have stayed exactly the same. My biggest problems with the controller are the bumpers, because they are noticeably far from the triggers and feel awkward when reaching for them. The dpad looks and feels better, but it is still mushy like the disc style dpad. Just overall the 360 controller was more ergonomic and the Xbox one controller feels crammed. Not a bad controller, but not what I expected.
1.Dualshock 4
2. 360 controller
3. Xbox one controller
The Xbox one controller does look better than the 360 controller
Is there any connectivity or response time difference?
im talking for pc here , does it justify the double price? i think not...
am I the only one that likes the whole xbox360 and the controller's better than xbox1??
Your not alone
U aint alone
U aint alone
Xbox One Elite controller, end of story.
he cost too much money for just a controller you can personnalise
he
Love how they hated 7 years ago and yet we still have them
If you have a Wired Xbox One controller and connect it to pc so you can play, will you still able to play old xbox 360 games in pc?
360 controller all the way
still pad 360 is the best
I'm planning to buy xbone controller for my PC but I'm curious to know if it'll destroy the battery life of a controller by running it constantly connected to usb?
:/ Just don't put aa battery inside :P it does not have build in battery -_-
Now how about a ps4 vs. Xboxone controller comparison particularly response times
The xbox 360 dpad is not that bad! I like the rotating dpad thing!
Lets talk Wii U
I can play with my usual claw grip on my xbox one controller. The "face" (front) of the controller has more area to work with on my big hands. Area for the dualshock 4 is limited, and the thumbsticks are in a horrible horizontal alignment (as they always were since the original dualshock). The d-pad feels very satisfying when pressing it and the RL Shoulder buttons feel like a satisfying mouse click.
How I actually play is I use the base (and side) of my index finger (close to the index finger's base knuckle) pressing the shoulder buttons while having the rest of my index finger on the triggers, so I don't have to move my index finger from RT to RB (or LT to LB).
When I'm doing the claw grip I have my middle finger on LT/LB. It's phyically impossible to do that with the dual shock because the R1 and R2 buttons are far apart. There is absolutely no dead zone between the bumpers and triggers for xbox one. Plus the dual shock 4 triggers feel pathetically weak and small compared to xbox one's triggers (plus the vibration on them feels awesome).
I love my ps4 but I hate that dual shock 4 with a passion.
do we have to charge it often.?
Using a Sony TV lol
As a PlayStation fan, To me if you want to head to current gen Xbox one seems a better choice, i feel like the best console that Sony ever made that Microsoft will never ever touch is the Ps2 in my opinion
There's not many open minded fans like you so good job :)
Same.
Yup still have my ps2 slim+ps2 original.
are the triggers analog?
The Xbox One controller sold me the console after the reversals. The controller next to the games should be one of the most important things to consider when picking a console.
That is so true and often overlooked. For me it's about games and then controller which is why I'm going Xbox One instead of PS4. The Kinect and multimedia stuff doesn't even interest me that much but the games and controller are pure sex
***** I also think that the games an then the controller are the most important factors, however that is why I'm getting the PS4.
aa man the 360 controller was the best
but xbox one sucks now i am going for the ps4
anoniem johnson you still enjoying your ps4?
@@virtual212 ha
I do
Ikr Xbox is garbage
Janette A.j console? Maybe. Controller? Absolutely not
They lost me when they said it was the best controller ever. PS4's is much better, and I've felt both months ago. Being a normal human beings with proper hands, I like my thumb sticks in the same place. Asymmetrical controls by definition and even not, can never be perfect.
Honestly i like xbox controllers over Playstation controllers mainly because i like the bigger and bulkier size of the Xbox controller. As for where the left thumb stick is doesn't really matter to me.
Welp, I have to say, I don't have neanderthal hands. The PS4 controller is bigger or round the same size as the One/360. The One also has this weird bump on the back and ruins the feeling for your middle fingers and the PS4 doesn't have that. It DOES on the other hand, have the ability to put both fingers on the bumpers/triggers and have it feel comfortable without getting used to it. No other controller can do that.
Jesse Cormier That's because for the 360/One controllers you rest your index fingers on the triggers (those are the primary back buttons for fps's) and reach your index up to access the bumper. Or at least thats how me and my friends hold it.
"They lost me when they said it was the best controller ever. PS4's is much better, and I've felt both months ago."
So you couldn't handle another person's opinion? Lol
If you kept listening instead of fanboying, he said it was completely subjective, all his opinion.
I completely agree woth the 360 controller being one of the best controllers ever. I use it on PC a lot. The reason I'm most likely getting an Xbox One is the controller, and the exclusives. Ps4 looks cool too, I just never liked the analog sticks location. And the ps4 doesn't have any exclusives right now or in the future that I'm interested in.
This did not age well
On the other hand, this did age well in 2022.
I love the One controller so much. I just ordered one for my PC.
It's called GET RECHARBLE BATTRIES!
Well, do you know what? For me, the XBOX 360 controller is the best. I love it!
YEAH IS X360
+Robin Harker r u that poor that u efford an x1 i think u never played an x360 or x1 thats why u just randomly chose x360
+Patryk Janowski looks like we met again
i thought this was recorded in 2019...
i think that the battery pack was the least of my worries
