Xbox One controller still takes batteries but has programmable trigger-feedback

[wraggster]

Update #2: "An infrared LED on the front of the controller allows Kinect to automatically recognise you, making it easier to pick up and play." Fresh from an Xbox One fact sheet.Update: There's a teensy bit more information on Xbox.com (http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xboxone/what-it-is) about the new controller. The thumbsticks have a slightly new shape and grip texture, and there's "easier access" to all of the buttons, err, somehow."Feel jolts, crashes and weapons in high definition with vibrating Impulse Triggers," and the d-pad has been improved to register "both sweeping and directional movements".Best of all, the Xbox One controller magically "a wider range of hand sizes more comfortably"."Simply put, it is the best controller we've ever made."
