Microsoft Unveils New Xbox 360 Controller With Transforming D-Pad

Ever since the Xbox 360 first launched, have you been itching to get your hands on a new controller that doesn’t have that clunky old D-pad? Well that time has finally come now that Microsoft has revealed a new Xbox 360 controller with transforming D-pad.

So, the new wireless controller comes equipped with a D-pad that can be rotated to adapt to the user’s gameplay. According to Microsoft, gamers will be able to use the D-pad in “plus” format for cardinal directional moves and in “disc” format for sweeping moves, the change between the two positions being carried out in a very fast and easy manner, with nothing more than a simple twist of the wrist.

In addition to the new d-pad, the matte silver controller also features concave analog sticks and gray A,B,X,Y buttons for added style. Also, the new controller includes a Play and Charge cable for continuous gameplay and up to 35 hours of play per charge, as well as 2.4GHz wireless technology with 30-foot range.

The controller will only be available with the new Play & Charge Kit that will launch on November 9th for the US with a price tag of $64.99.
