[/caption]Microsoft will be offering up an all new Xbox 360 wireless controller that features an adjustable directional-control pad (D-pad).
The controller will be released in the United States on November 9, 2010.
Larry Hryb, the programming director for Xbox live, revealed the new controller on Tuesday on his blog. Hryb, more commonly know as Major Nelos, his gamer tag, shows a video of how the adjustable D-pad will work. He also points out some of the other new features of the new wireless controller.
The D-pad goes from flat to a raised plus controller with a flick of the wrist on the new controller. Hyrb said that the design for the new adjustable D-pad was in response to the many gamers who didn't like the feel of the Xbox's current D-pad. Engineers came up with a solution that was designed to give options for those who wanted a better feel, he said.
