Microsoft would be introducing a new XBOX 360 controller this winter which will feature an adjustable directional control pad (D pad). This controller was revealed by XBOX live programming director Larry Hryb on his blog on Tuesday. Larry Hryb, most commonly known by his gamer tag “Major Nelson”, demonstrated how the D Pad exactly works.

Here is the demo video

This new controller is designed in a way that you can switch “from a plus to a disc with the twist of the wrist.”
