Key information
On October 14, 2026, Microsoft unveiled the XBOX Nano Controller, a new wireless gamepad designed for the XBOX brand. The device is currently available for pre-order at a direct retail price of 8000 yen including tax.
The controller is significantly smaller than the standard XBOX Wireless Controller included with XBOX Series X|S consoles. While specific dimensions remain unconfirmed, the width is slightly over 12.7cm, with a depth roughly half that of the standard model. Weighing approximately 99g, Microsoft markets this as the smallest controller in XBOX history.
Connectivity options include Microsoft's proprietary XBOX wireless protocol and Bluetooth. The device features a USB Type-C port for charging, though the manufacturer has not specified if it supports wired gameplay.
The controller is compatible with Windows 11/10 PCs, XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One, iOS, and Android devices. While it lacks additional unique features, its compact form factor is expected to appeal to users who prefer smaller gamepads or children with smaller hands.
