A little over 5 inches long, with a battery built in

An internal rechargeable battery powers the controller. The USB-C charging cable is sold separately.
Snackgirls react
Red: I want to get my hands around this one. I’m curious how that smaller grip feels when a game gets hectic.
Nea: I’m picturing a quiet evening with a story-driven game on my phone. Having a little controller beside it sounds like an inviting way to settle into another chapter.
Support stretches from Xbox consoles to phones and TVs
The Nano offers Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth connectivity. Supported devices include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PCs, iOS and Android devices, and compatible smart TVs.
That does not mean every TV or game will work: the TV must be a compatible model, and games need to support controller input.
November availability, with a $49.99 U.S. price
U.S. preorders opened on October 14 at $49.99, with availability beginning in November. South Korea and Japan are among the launch territories, though pricing and availability vary by country.
