Side by Side comparison: Xbox One vs Xbox 360 Controller

Posted by: 6/4/2013

Xbox hype man Major Nelson aka Larry Hryb has posted an image of the old Xbox 360 controller compared against the new and shiny Xbox One game pad on his twitter account.

Below you can see that the two controllers are pretty much identical in shape and size with some minor adjustments. The big changes are apparent when looking at the 360 controller’s guide button as well as the start and back buttons which are now changed in the new layout.

The Xbox One controller sports the guide button on the top and out of the way of the resting thumb area while the start and back buttons have been replaced also in the form of what appear to be ‘window’ and ‘menu’ buttons from the logos.

Some additional refinements have been made to the thumb sticks and the d-pad to add some more fidelity in the form of ripped edges and a non-circular d-pad shape.
