Abstract:
The Microsoft Xbox Nano mini controller will be available on November 4, 2026, with an official and select retail price of US$49.99. This compact handle is designed to be portable and suitable for small hands. It weighs about 99 grams, but does not support vibration function.
The Xbox Nano body is slightly longer than 5 inches and can be placed in a jacket or carry-on bag. It retains the main shape and button layout of the traditional Xbox controller, has a built-in rechargeable battery, and is equipped with an "action button" that can be used to take screenshots, record games, or perform in-game shortcut operations.
In terms of connection, the controller supports Xbox wireless protocol and Bluetooth, and can be used with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Android, iOS, smart TVs and Xbox cloud games. Amazon and Walmart offer it for $49, while Best Buy and Xbox stores list it at $49.99.
In addition to canceling vibration, Xbox Nano does not use Hall effect or TMR rocker. The initial impression given by Windows Central reporter Jez Corden is relatively positive, but the official evaluation has not yet been released; its actual price/performance still needs to be judged based on the complete evaluation.
