## Summary

Microsoft’s Xbox Nano is a pocket-sized wireless controller designed for children and people with smaller hands. A hands-on review found it surprisingly comfortable over longer gaming sessions, though its compact size may not suit everyone.

At just over 5 inches long and 101 grams, it has smaller buttons, sticks and triggers, while retaining the standard D-pad and Xbox button. Its battery appeared to lose about 10 per cent charge in 30 to 40 minutes, but it charges quickly over USB-C and can be used while charging; it lacks vibration support. The controller launches on 4 November for $49.99.
