Each trigger features independent rumble motors called 'Impulse Triggers', which allows developers to program directional vibration. The triggers themselves now have a smoother feel, and were made more accurate. The bumpers were also made flush with the triggers. The bumpers and trigger buttons were overhauled with a new curved shape to improve their ergonomics, as the user's fingers now naturally lie at an angle upon them unlike the straighter design on Xbox 360 controllers. The buttons themselves are also spaced slightly closer together. The design of the face buttons was revised to improve their legibility, using a three-layer design consisting of a black background, colored letter, and a clear covering intended to make the letter appear to 'hover' inside it. The updated 4-way design is also better suited for use as individual keys in games that use them for item selection. This change was made partially due to criticism by players of fighting games who, despite the use of 'sweeps' across the D-pad in these games being part of the motivation for the 8-way design, felt that the Xbox 360's D-pad performed poorly in that type of game. The analog sticks feature a new textured rim, while the D-pad was changed to use a more traditional 4-way design rather than the circular 8-way design of the 360 controller. For communication, the controller uses a new proprietary protocol with a greater bandwidth than the wireless protocol used by the Xbox 360 controller, reducing latency and allowing for higher quality headset audio.

The controller contains a micro USB port, enabling wired use of the controller with the console or on computers running Windows 7 or later with drivers, and firmware updates. The controller also contains light emitters that allow it to be tracked and paired using Kinect sensor, and to detect when it is not being held to automatically enter a low-power state. The Xbox One controller maintains the overall layout found in the Xbox 360 controller's design, but with enhancements such as redesigned grips, a smoother build, and the removal of the protruding battery compartment. Microsoft invested over $100В million into refining the controller design for the Xbox One internal designers had created prototypes with various tweaks and refinements to the design over the Xbox 360 controller, along with those including unorthodox features such as embedded screens and speakers (which were rejected due to their effects on battery life, and redundancy to the main display and sound system), and the ability to emit odors. The 'Start' and 'Back' buttons are replaced by 'Menu' and 'View' buttons, while the Guide button now consists of a white backlit Xbox logo, and does not feature the 'ring of light' that served as an indicator for the controller's assigned number (1 to 4). The Xbox One controller retains roughly the same layout as the Xbox 360 controller, including four main face buttons, two shoulder bumpers, two analog triggers, two analog sticks and a digital D-pad.

The Xbox Series X and Series S introduced an updated version of the controller, with further refinements to its shape and ergonomics. In turn, each of the aforementioned variations has been offered in various color schemes, some featuring special designs tying into specific games.

Microsoft also markets the Elite Wireless Controller, a premium version geared towards professional gamers, including interchangeable parts and programmability features. It has had three revisions with several changes to the controller's design and functionality. The controller maintains the overall layout found in the Xbox 360 controller, but with various tweaks to its design, such as a revised shape, redesigned analog sticks, shoulder buttons, and triggers, along with new rumble motors within the triggers to allow for directional haptic feedback. The Xbox Wireless Controller is the primary game controller for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S home video game consoles, also commercialized for its use in Windows-based PCs, and compatible with other operating systems such as macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. 3.5 mm stereo audio jack (after first revision).
