The short version
- While console hardware prices keep going up , Xbox is offering a cheaper hardware alternative with the new Xbox Nano controller.
- Xbox officially announced its newest controller model on Wednesday, revealing a pocket-sized controller alternative to the standard Xbox wireless controller (which starts at $64.99) and the high-end Xbox Elite Wireless Controller (which starts at $149.99).
- The $49.99 Nano controller, Microsoft says, is designed with "younger players, smaller hands, or anyone seeking something portable for play on the go" in mind.
What happened
The Xbox Nano Controller is 5 inches wide and weighs 3.5 ounces — small and light. Compare that to the Xbox Wireless and Elite controllers, both of which both measure 6 inches in width and weigh approximately 10 and 12 ounces, respectively.
Why it matters
Despite its smaller size, the Nano Controller includes all 18 standard gameplay inputs.
