New Xbox controller with swappable battery spotted in huge Microsoft leak
A new Xbox controller, codenamed Sebile, has been spotted as part of the massive overnight leak of Microsoft documents.…
Sebile, formally called Xbox Universal Controller according to the leak, is included in a hardware roadmap emailed internally on 5th February 2022. Sebile has a higher focus on sustainability as well as improvements in durability.
Sebile will also be available in the Xbox Design Lab, allowing buyers to customise the colours on the controller, with special and limited editions expected down the line.
Uh, I have bought the last 3 generations of Xbox controllers and the battery's always been swappable. What's new?
Doesn't fucking matter when they keep using cheap potentiometers in their joysticks making them only last 6-12 months before stick drift gets unbearable. It's time they switch to hall effect sensors. I have a joystick from 2014 with hall effect and zero drifting. I have a king Kong 2 controller with hal effect sensors. Zero stick drift after nearly a year of rocket League abuse and zero drifting. I've gone through 2 Xbox elite controllers in 1.5 years. Get rid the trash components first.
I've got a Rumble pad 2 from ~2005 with zero drift. Still works flawlessly.
That's cute. How about Hall effect sticks so they don't wear out after six months?
I love that the controller is using aa batteries that I can charge and swap at low cost and use for other devices.
