This new Xbox Series X|S controller includes Dolby Atmos for headphones

The RIG PRO Compact controller is, as the name suggests, a compact controller with a more condensed design. Officially designed for Xbox Series X|S, the PRO Compact is a wired controller with a 10-foot nylon braided cable, textured grips and thumbsticks, programmable options for button mapping, thumbstick sensitivity, trigger dead zones, and more, oversized buttons for comfort, and more. Already the PRO Compact looks like it could find its way onto our list of best controllers for Xbox Series X|S, but Nacon included another feature that makes the PRO Compact the first of its kind.

Nacon’s RIG PRO Compact controller is the first controller to include full Dolby Atmos support for headphones. That means plugging the PRO Compact into your Xbox Series X|S or Windows 10 PC and downloading the Dolby Access app gives you premium 3D audio through headphones plugged into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom of the PRO Compact.

If you’re interested in the RIG PRO Compact controller, it’s now becoming available in black and white colorways in North America. It’ll be interesting to see if this controller can stand toe-to-toe with the aggressive controller market. However, the inclusion of Dolby Atmos support right off the bat makes the PRO Compact pretty interesting.
