Pretty sure that's one continuous discsomething bothering me about the dpad on the new controller

there is differnt sizes for nvme drives
some laptops manfutors put that instead of the full size nvme (maybe for space limitation or any other reason)
So small.
Do we know the power draw?
A portable one of these would be unbelievably amazing.
The D-pad is actually a clicky plastic dish - if you're worried about something being worn away, you should be more concerned about the grip on the triggers or the patterns on the thumbsticks.
but what about the edges of that dpad, i see the whole dish is clicks just like the elite controller.
So small.
desperately trying to figure out how to include a series s in my next gen plans
what an incredible looking device
Man I really wish they would've figured out something other than that giant black circle for the S. The white versions of Xbox One consoles look great and the Series S looks great except for that giant blemish.

Imagine the outrage, series Mobile holding back the games!
Meh. Don't really care about streaming even though I've had fun some times. Ping\bandwith is just more crap to worry about. In 10 years maybe.
I could see a market for a Surface laptop/tablet hybrid with the Series S internals, that thing is seriously small.
It works pretty well already. It all depends on where you are and what connection you have at your disposal.
I meant Series S. I think it looks great, I just don't like that giant black circle personally. I really like their white consoles for the most part. The Xbox One S looks so clean.
At least 70 watt TDP. That's 5x more than what can be done for a portable.
Keep dreaming!
There are people out there with this problem apparently. My brother did this to a controller after a couple of months of use:
I like the circle. Not that it matters for anything other than the 2 minutes in which I will handle it as I take it out of the box
I agree it doesn't look great. That said, I've seen some excellent fan renders of special editions that use it as a feature.
looks like it could be one of the Garmins... possibly in the Fenix line.
edit: it's actually a Polar

Acidity in your sweat. My controller looks like that as well. It depends on the person. I know I have acidity in my sweat, I'm a brass musician and I've literally had silver coated mouthpiece's silver polish wear away over time.
I spent so much time looking for the wear on the d-pad that I didn't notice the left thumb stick for a good minute lolThere are people out there with this problem apparently. My brother did this to a controller after a couple of months of use:
I'd love to know which game caused that after a few months.
What? The 360 D-Pad was literally broken. I never found a 360 controller where it would work reliably in all directions.
The XBO controller though? I think it's a great D-pad, actually my favourite this gen if only because the DS4 is too spongey and I prefer them a little more tactile.
I'm honestly baffled how you can think the 360 D-Pad is better than XBO.
Honestly I think it may have just been a little fifa and a whole lot of halo. I used to notice this on my controllers when I was younger and always wondered who was fucking them up. Now I know.
Just seeing the S makes me want to buy one. And I'm already getting the X. Not sure why, that tiny box looks so nice to have. For travels or, just to have it. Hard to explain. Dying for the hands-on reviews.
EDIT: I also build the tiniest PC form factors I can. And buy small cars and live in a really small house. Hmm

The S is that small that you could conceivably travel around with it, if you are the kind of person who travels a lot lol.
Itll either be rare or non at all for people making special editions of the lesser model.I agree it doesn't look great. That said, I've seen some excellent fan renders of special editions that use it as a feature.
If i didnt have a white xbox one x already i would totally buy both, cause the series S looks fucking hot. But im not gonna have 3 xbox's.
X1 pad was tough to hit corners with - particularly dire in fighting games. Any sweeping motion would pull my thumbnail back from my thumb too. 360 pad made it easy to do a qcf, hcb, forward motion. Any kind of sweeping motion it did with less travel than the analog stick. You are right that it did have problems in precise directional rocking but I think you're overstating the issue. It was no 3rd party controller designed for fighters but it did the job better the DS3, DS4 and X1 pads for me. I do have a Hori I used for fighters when I feel really committed to playing, but if I don't feel like breaking it out the 360 pad is solid backup.

I think this is the reason. Forget the white dots beyond the circle, the circle being white then leading to the black just doesn't look good. While all black does stick out against the white Series S console, it looks cleaner. It also probably doesn't make the black fan inside as obvious either.
Perhaps me and the S need to take some trips together. Explore the world and bond. Climb some mountains with a small generator, a TV and live stream our love affair.
Reminds me of the optional d-pad you could swap out on the elite controllers.something bothering me about the dpad on the new controller

I think the series X is growing on me, especially in the vertical position. I still like the series S better from the horizontal view, but vertical now I think I have to give it to the series X. But it might be because it reminds me of a mini pc tower.
After using my Elite 2 controller for awhile, I think the Series controller getting some nice upgrades. I like the disc dpad on the elite 2, plus the grip on the triggers is nice. One thing series controller is missing though are the trigger locks. Those are so good for non racing games. Probably my favorite feature of the elite 2 controller. But I know MS can't carry everything over from the Elite 2 to the series X/S controller, because they want to sell Elite controllers too.

I've thought about making a "Help me make a Series S portable" thread lol.
I have large batteries that could handle the power needs of the console, but I don't know about a screen. There are portable screens that can be powered via USB, but I don't know what the power needs and the quality of those are like. But theoretically, that's like a couple hours of gaming on a mountaintop somewhere. If you bring a projector and a blanket, you could probably even do some splitscreen local Halo coop or some other local couch MP games - Mount Your Friends, perhaps. That would be QUITE the flex.
