The new REDMI Gaming Controller by Xiaomi has finally been shown in an official video that has sparked the curiosity of gamers. Between modular design, advanced customizations and compatibility with consoles, the controller seems to want to have its say even outside the mobile world. But not everything is as it seems: it has a gem that not everyone would expect. Better than Nintendo Switch!
REDMI Gaming Controller: Features, Design and Xbox Compatibility
In the hands of the brand's product manager in the demonstration video shared by Xiaomi, the controller comes to life next to the chatted about K Pad tablet engaged in the gameplay of Black MythWukong. A choice of context that goes beyond the simple technical demonstration: it suggests that Xiaomi is not simply producing accessories, but building a real ecosystem for those who are serious about mobile gaming.
The dual-mode design is one of the first surprises. The REDMI Gaming Controller can be used in a compact form, like a traditional pad, or in a separate configuration, with the two autonomous sections for greater ergonomics. This modular approach responds to a concrete need: adaptability. And it is not limited to shape.
THEcompanion app, designed by Xiaomi, allows for extremely fine calibration. You can adjust the sensitivity of the triggers, the intensity of the haptic vibration, theRGB lighting and key mapping. Additionally, you can update the firmware directly from your phone.
Then comes the detail that really surprises. Each half of the controller has a independent battery indicator. A simple but revealing trick: it indicates attention to the user experience, especially in the most dynamic contexts. It means knowing exactly when to recharge and which part, without unnecessary interruptions.
Xiaomi has also chosen to remove physical ports in favor of the Bluetooth connection only. A move consistent with the goal of lightening the experience, even in terms of cables and bulk. Of course, this implies greater confidence in the stability of the wireless connection, but the intent to simplify is evident.
Finally, compatibility also extends to consoles: in unified mode, the REDMI Gaming Controller It is recognized by Xbox systems. This makes it a cross-platform device, designed for those who play anywhere and demand consistency across platforms.
Needless to say, the product will only be launched in China at the moment, in the coming months along with the tablet mentioned above which will also have a transparent version.
