While console hardware prices keep going up, Xbox is offering a cheaper hardware alternative with the new Xbox Nano controller. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Xbox Nano Controller is 5 inches wide and weighs 3.5 ounces \u2014 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. Despite its smaller size, the Nano Controller includes all 18 standard gameplay inputs. It’s an Xbox controller, just smaller.<\/p>\n
