A major change is coming to the Xbox Series controller: the addition of a share button in the middle of the pad to take screenshots or record video footage quickly. A welcome novelty, clearly inspired by the DualShock of the PS4 and the Joy-con of the Switch, but still imperfect.
Many limitations are indeed to be pointed out, in particular the duration of the recordings which is slow to be improved. In fact, the key is struggling to find its usefulness with some players, but the situation could soon be corrected.
New features for the Share button
The Share key will be able to be used for anything else thanks to the Xbox Accessories application. Members of the Alpha Loop Insider program can now reconfigure the function of the share key at will. More concretely, instead of taking screenshots, she will now be able to automatically open the list of friends, the accessibility options or the list of Achievements, pause or play a video, increase or decrease the volume , And much more.
As for the operation of the default key, it is possible to configure several actions, depending on whether it is pressed once, twice or for a long time. These new customization options also extend to additional buttons on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controllers, Chatpad Keyboard, and Xbox Adaptive Controller.
