There was much criticism at the start of this new generation in 2020 that the new Xbox Series X | S were great consoles, but its controller had barely seen any updates. Normally we say that if something works why change it, but it is true that despite a clever redesign and some additional functions, it does not imply any substantial change compared to that of the Xbox One, something that, on the contrary , on PS5, this is what they had achieved with the new DualSense.
But it doesn’t matter if you like one controller more than another, Microsoft continues to work to ensure that new Xbox controllers in the future include more features than modernity. From getting rid of Kinect to not betting on the VR console, those in Redmond seem to want to stick with their desktop gaming experience on the most classic console, without giving up the latest technology. For this reason, this new patent discovered by GameRant, left us surprised: A new control with a touch screen that continues without renouncing the design of the current control. Here’s a look at his early patent sketches:
A screen will replace the central button of the new Xbox controller
As we can see in the drawing, this new touchscreen controller would group together the central buttons, including that of the Xbox one, as well as a sort of drop-down menu that indicates our user name, battery, etc… and the possibility of seeing on go statistics, changing equipment, sharing on our social networks, performances or even the sound configuration itself. The name they baptized it with is the Xbox Stealth Controller
We still do not know if this patent was designed for the next generation of consoles or if it will simply be a new type of controller that will join the usual and the Elite 2, which with various design possibilities, are the ones we can currently use. For our part, we are delighted with the design, which does not interfere with the usual keyboard control or the position of the analog sticks and at the same time adds brutal functionality to it, to further facilitate access to a variety of options for the user. . We hope to see something very soon and that we can tell you that the Xbox Stealth Controller is a reality.
