Xbox Introduces New Pocket-Size Nano Controller - CNET

You can jam a phone in your pocket, sure, but good luck stuffing a regular Xbox game controller in there. On Wednesday, Microsoft announced the release of the Xbox Nano controller, the console’s smallest yet. It’s just over 5 inches long, weighs 3.5 ounces and is lighter and shorter than most modern smartphones.

For comparison, an iPhone 18 Pro is 5.9 inches long and weighs 7.4 ounces. A current standard Xbox One wireless controller is just over 6 inches long and weighs 9.9 ounces without batteries.

Microsoft says the Nano controller has all 18 standard gameplay inputs, referring to the physical buttons and triggers on the controller, and they match up with the layout on the standard version. A programmable Action Button can be customized to support features such as taking screenshots, capturing gameplay and other shortcuts.
