Re: Microsoft: Continuing Xbox Accessibility
Hi,
I'm not really sure how I'll do with this, but I will try. This is the normal xbox one controller.
In each hand. you've kind of got grips. Not really sure how to describe them.
Let's start with the top.
On the left you have an analogue stick, this is used for moving around in games, making characters walk in first person shooters like halo. It's near your thumb, and below that is a directional pad up, down, left and right, used for menu navigation and in Killer Instinct it can be used to make your character move.
If you then go back up to the analogue stick and move to the right and up a bit, you come across a sort of panel. On this panel is a round, quite tactile button. This is called the x-box button.
If you then go below this, you come across two round buttons. The one on the right is the menu/start button, and the one on the left is the view button it's used in games like Killer Instinct to taunt,, or it can do a
ll sorts of stuff I think in racing games it changes views and stuff. It's not used too often during the normal dashboard operation though. The menu button atiates pause menus or press start screens, or opens up context menus while navigating the dashboard.
Moving to the right, you've got the right analogue stick near your right thumb.
Then moving even more to the right, you have the face buttons. There are four of them.
On the bottom, you've got a. To the right of a, you've got b. Then, moving to the left of a, you've got x. And right at the top, you've got y. These do all sorts of stuff, but a is your select/confirm button and b is your back button most of the time, when in menus.
Near your index finger when holding the controller you'll also find some stuff. On the right and left hand sides, you have one pressable button called a bumper, and below that you've got a more squishy thing called a trigger that kind of presses
inwards. It sort of pushes when you use it. The triggers are used in racing games to accellerate or in fsp games to fire, but they also do other things depending on the game.
These are right bumper, right trigger, left bumper and left trigger are on the other side.
Then, if you start moving to the left past the right trigger, you will come across a micro USB port. This is used for charging and also syncing the controller when using it for the first time. To the left of the usb port is a small, round button which is a sync button, but I'm not really sure how it works as I just plugged my controller in and it worked first time. Once it starts working though, you can also use it as a wireless controller which is really cool. You should get notifications when the battery is low but I don't think you get one when it's charged.
I hope this helps a bit. It can be a bit confusing though if you haven't seen/touched one before.
