A new Xbox Series X controller update has been released.
Some Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S controllers now support a brand new feature thanks to a software update released by Microsoft. With the jump from Xbox One to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Microsoft opted to maintain the design of its controller. This stood in stark contrast to what PlayStation did with the transition from PS4 to PS5. Not only did PlayStation release a newly-designed controller, but it abandoned its DualShock design for the first time in its history.
More specifically, with a new update, owners of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Xbox Adaptive Controller can now map their controller buttons to their keyboard. According to Xbox,"keyboard remapping has been a requested feature in the PC gaming and accessibility communities." Why? Well, it gives owners of these controller more input capabilities, and for games that require lots of commands, like strategy games, it's a huge plus.
"Starting this week the Xbox Accessories app will support controller-to-keyboard input mapping on both PC and console," writes Xbox."Choose any button on your Elite Series 2 or port on your Xbox Adaptive Controller and remap it to your desired keyboard key. For instance, Sea of Thieves can take keyboard input for something like quick select of a tool or weapon, while using controller for most other actions.
