There's Now a Slimmer Xbox Controller For Microsoft's xCloud Game Streaming Service

The obvious choice for playing your favorite Xbox One games through Microsoft’s xCloud game streaming service is the Bluetooth version of the Xbox One controller, but it’s by no means a tiny gamepad. If you’re after something a little more svelte (and more affordable) 8Bitdo has created the which includes an adjustable clip for your Android smartphone.

Based off 8Bitdo’s excellent SN30 Pro controller which featured a design and color scheme design inspired by the Super Nintendo, the SN30 Pro for Xbox gets a facelift with an all-black finish, colored buttons to match Microsoft’s styling, and an X logo sitting front and center. It lacks vibration or rumble features (which is probably how it musters a decent 18 hours of battery life) but 8Bitdo has included support for its Ultimate Software which, like the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+, allows the new gamepad to be completely customized in terms of button layout, joystick sensitivity, and even shoulder button travel.
