Xbox controller
Microsoft gaming device
An Xbox controller is a handheld input device for Microsoft's Xbox gaming consoles, featuring buttons, joysticks, and triggers that translate player actions into game commands.
The design has become iconic enough that "Xbox controller" often serves as shorthand for any similar gamepad: I use an Xbox controller for PC games.
The layout—twin thumbsticks, directional pad, face buttons, shoulder triggers—has influenced the broader standard for console controllers.
