Microsoft is looking to debut their new Xbox 360 controller with a transforming D-pad in November, according to a company announcement on Tuesday. The controller has a different color scheme than traditional Xbox controllers, sporting a gray and black background with black and white buttons rather than the traditional white design with multi-colored buttons.
Updated D-Pad Controller
The controller’s most standout feature is its D-pad, which can be rotated from a “plus” format to a “disc” format. The “plus” format is more effective for directional moves, while the “disc” format can be used for sweeping moves.

“The engineers went back into the laboratory and came up with this ingenious solution,” Xbox Live programming director Larry Hryb said in a video. "It is a revolutionary D-pad that transforms from a disc into a plus…with the twist of a hand". Other features include 2.4-Ghz wireless technology with a range of 30 feet. The controller comes with a Play and Charge cable for constant use with 35 hours of play per charge. The controller will be available on November 9 in the US for $64.99 with the Play and Charge Kit.
