Upcoming new controller for the Xbox One that promises many professional features finally has a release date, according to Microsoft’s online store.

The new controller was announced some weeks ago targeted at the competitive type of gamers wanting more grip in battle. Xbox One controller comes with many features like the replaceable thumbsticks of various sizes, as well as the new -also replacable- d-pad designed to give more advantage in fighting games than to its circular shape that allows for easy combos. The controller also has more buttons on the back that can be programmed to function in place of any other key (say, reload or throwing grenades).
