Xbox One: 12 Cool Tips, Tricks & Secrets You Must Try

7. Use The Controller's Bumpers Correctly

More regular or seasoned gamers may scream this is very obvious, but the redesigned Xbox One controller regularly comes under fire from new adopters for daring to switch up the near-perfect design of the 360 pad - or in particular, the bumper buttons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF-smJELJ4A Basically as the bumpers themselves are raised far more than before, many gamers were prodding down on them from above, causing much discomfort as it's hardly a finger-arrangement that feels natural. However as is pointed out in the above video, there's a far simpler - and far more ergonomic - way of holding the pad that'll suit you down to the ground if you're playing for an extended amount of time. Naturally this might be the most obvious thing in the world if you've been gaming for years, but considering the huge amount of misinformation that's out there doubled with all the new console Xbox One owners out there who are still getting used to the system, it's definitely worth pointing out.
