XBOX Nano Controller

Microsoft's smallest Xbox controller, a $50 pocket-size pad aimed at kids, travel and cloud gaming, goes on sale Nov 4.

Announced Oct 14 on Xbox Wire, the Nano is just over 5 inches long and about 100 g, keeps all 18 standard inputs plus a programmable Action Button, and has a built-in rechargeable battery (Microsoft quotes up to 5 hours; USB-C cable sold separately). There is no rumble. It connects over Xbox Wireless to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and over Bluetooth to Windows, Android, iOS and some smart TVs, and a 'Cloud connect' preview can pair it over Wi-Fi for Xbox Cloud Gaming. Best Buy Canada listed the launch as Nov 4 and the Microsoft Store now sells it; Microsoft lists more than 30 launch countries for November.
