Microsoft has introduced a new wireless controller with a transforming Dpad for Xbox 360 console at the Penny Arcade eXPo (PAX Prime) in Seattle, US. For gamers who'd like to use a Dpad while gaming instead of a second analog stick, this new Xbox controller is the new toy. Users can change the directional pad from flat one to a raised directional Dpad when its base is twisted.

Built with a matte silver finish, the new wireless Xbox Controller with transforming Dpad for Xbox 360 game console can transform the Plus Dpad to a Disc-like circular Dpad. Basically, the Plus format Dpad is used for cardinal directional moves while the circular Dpad usually helps for sweep moves. All you have to do is twist the bottom of the Dpad and the transformation takes place. This new wireless Xbox controller uses 2.4GHz wireless technology that offers gamers to use it from a distance of up to 30-feet from the console.

The new wireless controller would also bundle Play & Charge kit. A single charge of this new Wireless Xbox controller offers 35 hours of gameplay, while with Play & Charge cable you can play continuously.

Microsoft will start selling this controller from November 9 onwards at $65 (Rs. 3,040 approx) in the US. It may take a week or more to reach worldwide.
