#Xbox 360 rock candy controller joystick serial
It also features a proprietary serial connector (which is split into 2 parts on either side of the headset connector) for use with additional accessories, such as the chatpad. The controller has a 2.5 mm TRS connector on the front, allowing users to connect a headset for voice communication. The "back" and "start" buttons have been moved to a more central position on the face of the controller, and the "white" and "black" buttons have been removed and replaced with two new bumpers that are positioned over the analog triggers on the back of the controller.
The Xbox 360 controller has the same basic familiar button layout as the Controller S except that a few of the auxiliary buttons have been moved. The new port replaces the two non-standard USB connectors on the front of the Xbox controller. The rear of the controller has been redesigned to include a new port where the player can connect a headset. The black and white buttons have been redesigned as shoulder buttons, now referred to as bumper buttons, located above the left and right triggers. The ring of light lights up to designate what controller "port" the gamepad is currently using and which console (if more than one) the controller is connected to. Pressing the Xbox guide button will bring the Xbox 360 out of sleep mode or instantly bring up the "Xbox Guide". The Xbox 360 controller adds the new feature of the Xbox guide button, which has the appearance of the Xbox 360 emblem and is surrounded by a ring of light. The controller for the Xbox 360 is a similar yet improved version of the Type-S gamepad for the Xbox. The wired controller cords are nine feet in length and are breakaway similar to those used with the Xbox. Additionally it can support three wired controllers through the use of its USB ports (two in front, one in back).
The Xbox 360 has the ability to support four wireless controllers.
