This miniature controller is designed specifically for the Xbox cloud platform – Microsoft xCloud

The built-in rechargeable battery allows the controller to work for 18 hours in a row, and the USB-C port is used to charge it. Complete with a gamepad there is a special fixture for connecting a smartphone or tablet. It provides for some positioning adjustments.

Since when creating this controller 8BitDo cooperates with Microsoft, it will have separate software that will allow you to customize the buttons and adjust the sensitivity of triggers and sticks. In addition, support for profiles between which they will be allowed to switch will be available.
