Microsoft has added an unusual new member to its gaming hardware lineup. The newly announced Xbox Nano Controller stands out as a noticeably smaller and more affordable alternative to the standard Xbox controller.
The product delivers something close to a pocket-sized controller experience, and Microsoft's target audience is clear: players with smaller hands, children, and anyone who wants to game on the go.
Smaller size, same button count
The standard Xbox wireless controller measures 6 inches wide and weighs around 283 grams. The Nano, by contrast, is 5 inches wide and weighs just 99 grams. Despite the shrinkage, Microsoft has managed to fit all 18 game buttons from the standard controller into the Nano's body.
Specs and compatibility
The controller comes with a rechargeable built-in battery that charges over USB-C, and Bluetooth support lets it connect to a wide range of devices.
According to Microsoft's official announcement, the Xbox Nano is fully compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Windows PC, Android and iOS devices. It will be sold in a single white color option.
Price and release date
The Xbox Nano is priced at $49.99. It arrives on shelves on November 4, with pre-orders already open. For now, the only limitation is that the controller will launch in select markets only.
