yeah right. I feel like this is mostly so people who shelled out tons of money for elite or custom controllers don't have to hang those up.

Confirmed: All Xbox One Controllers are Forward Compatible with Scarlett

Have to wait for my check in November, can't waaaaaiiiiiitttt.
Nah, just means they can lock it behind a $150 elite v3 controller
I really hope that the next Xbox controller has gyro in it because gyro aiming makes games better. Otherwise though sticking with the X1 pad would be great, it's a very good controller.
I skipped on my Elite V2 pre-order. Forward comparability is welcome, but my Elite 1 still functions ok and £150 is too much for a minor upgrade.
If you are on the fence and don't own a working Elite v1 though, I'd highly recommend getting the V2.

This is going to be like the GameCube/Wii days when Kijiji/Craigslist is flooded with controller less Xbox One's when the new console is out.
Gyro .. maybe.. share ? No way.. I hit that by accident on my ds4 all the time.
Same. No reason share cant just be 1 level deep on the guide button. It does not need its own button.
I can't imagine how that would even happen, but even still it could be placed somewhere else if that was an issue. PS4 and Switch both have single button share functionality. This is a major gap for the Xbox in day to day use.
every other controller uses a two button "start/select"layout including all PlayStation controllers up to now and you can't imagine how??? Really?
Destiny 2 on xb uses them really well, and if you play on ps4 then switch over the difference is night and day
Features on third party games were already lacking. Xbox One triggers are so fucking good and I can only expect them to be used well from the first party stuff.
View and Menu are probably more apt names for what they actually function as but yeah it's always been a weird change. I still call them start and select and everyone gets it. I like the hamburger button so they should keep the symbols.
Bearing in mind both next gen systems will be launching with a huge library of BC games from this gen it would make sense for those systems to support the current controllers.
You'd have to have to actively break support for the DS4 on PS5 really.

This means backwards compatible. Forward compatibility means a newer generation accessory works on an older generation console. Example, the Dualshock 4 works on the PS3. If a Xbox One game works on the Scarlett does that mean it's forward compatible? Like where do people come up with these dumb terms.
I was never worried personally about the xbox one controllers or PS4 dualshock 4s working with the next systems. I am just curious now about whether or not PS1 and PS2 discs will work on PS5 lol .
On the plus side, that means your investment in Elite controllers is safe. On the downside, we're probably not going to get anything as innovative on the controller side like what's rumored w/ PS5.
I'm torn.

I thought you meant accidentally touching the button, not intentionally pressing what turned out to be the wrong button. I find the Share and Options buttons pretty out of the way so I was skeptical of inadvertent activations. Forgetting which button is which is a totally different issue, but I can totally see that happening. Still, I don't see how that's an argument against adding a share button to the Xbox controller. It can go wherever MS thinks is best.
if you're really accidentally hitting the share button so often you should probably change its default short press to take screenshots instead of pulling up the share menu and processing video.
I use the DS4 touchpad only so I can bind left/right touchpad clicks to keyboard keys, ex: engine brake for truck sim games, more or less elite controller paddle stuff on a budget
I'm a fan of colorful stuff. 😋
I hope they offer a 360 themed controller some day.

Idk, sounds like the same as analog buttons, more or less, press harder to get different actions. Like in MGS2 HD gently letting go of the action button (Square?) makes snake put down pistol on PS3 but I think on 360 it doesn't
I assume DualShock 4 will work with PS4 software on PS5. DualShock 5 may be required for PS5 games, though.
I had mine preordered already, but now I'm happy that all of my controllers will work if we choose to do so.
Gyro aiming? Maybe on Switch, Wii U, Vita, etc... but Xbox? Have you used gyro aiming on a regular controller before?
I think you are confused LOL.
The XB1 controllers are forward compatible if they work on future Scarlett hardware. The Scarlett hardware is backwards compatible if it works with XB1 controllers.
They will have to, they already confirmed PSVR compatibility so the DS4 will have to be supported as well. Unless the DS5 is practically the same as a DS4, which why bother when you can support DS4 for full BC and have a wild new DS5 with new features

Have you? Switch Pro is a "regular" controller and using gyro on it is an excellent experience. Xbox having it as an option would only be a positive.

As someone quite thoroughly horrible at aiming with gamepad analog sticks in console shooters, Splatoon's gyro controls are one of the best things ever to happen to first/third person shooting games on consoles. It would be fantastic if I could get that kind of controls on Xbox... and PC, since the Xbox controller is the default one on PC and its featureset is the one most games support.

Yeah gyro is great, I just find it's not really ideal unless you are holding the screen. I guess I could be wrong since I haven't played docked Splatoon 2 with a Pro controller specifically, but the times I've tried to use it outside of handhelds has been very underwhelming
