jan 1, 2013 - Xbox one

Description:

Microsoft spent a lot of time thinking how best to replace the 360 controller. Ideas that went through group testing included adding "smell emitters", giving off the stench of burning rubber or gunpowder to 'enhance' the game experience. Thankfully, the controller that made it through is much the same as the 360 design, but with tweaks; gone is the lump of the battery pack; rumble features have been stepped up, now including rumble triggers; and it's generally tougher, purportedly able to survive "gamer rage".
