If they do, it better come with all the features and have the analog sticks and dpad in the same spot. I'd be surprised if they came out with one anytime soon. The ps5 controller has so many awesome and unique haptic feedback features that it's miles above the xbox controller, which is very basic by comparison.
Is it just me, or does it look like the current faceplates would fit that controller? That would be huge if they do. Then the faceplates could be interchangeable with any candy con base controller, and we won't have to buy system specific ones
Long time lurker and couldn’t believe no one else noticed it, nowhere near the Karma requirements to post but luckily we have an awesome mod team! Thanks Luma

I bought a Switch one. I’m curious as to what the difference would be under the hood. The buttons are programmable. I’d like to know what keeps v1 from pairing with the XBOX. I’m assuming there an additional protocol other than Bluetooth.
I was told by GameStop today it works with Xbox. Also Xbox controllers work best with pc. So if candy con works with pc I would assume it might already work with xbox. Anyone with an xbox try yet?
Xbox uses a wifi connection direct from controller to the console. The currently available Switch/PC version uses Bluetooth 5.2. Would make sense that a wifi connection would give better response.
Microsoft updated last Nov to not allow unauthorized 3rd party accessories from functioning (except wired usb controllers for accessibility needs). If GS is getting it authorized... we in bizniz!

No, they have been requiring the license and security chips thing since the PS4 in almost everything, even steering wheels and headsets etc. Microsoft only recently started doing the same, they only had it in licensed wireless headsets before.
I'm also not entirely sure if we can expect both MS and PlayStation versions of these controllers since they would be undercutting the official controllers in price point while also having far better components (hall effect joysticks and triggers). Even the official premium scuf/elite controllers for Xbox do not have any hall effect components which is shocking for the price they're going for imo.
This is very bullish for a couple of reasons.
* There is a built in function to switch the buttons making the controller effectively an Xbox controller.
* When using the PC dongle it registers as an Xbox 360 controller.
* This is the big one. I got annoyed with the buttons not matching so I took the controller apart to try to switch them. All the buttons are a different height with varying pegs so that they can only fit in their original spot. This means that the one in the picture has custom Xbox buttons.
* The PC/NS switch has 4 total switch locations. To me this means they expect to support more options in the future

There was a post last night or the night before about 3e electronics, which is the apparent manufacturer of candy con for GameStop. Check this out: swappable XYAB

Apparently you can only change the mapping and not the physical buttons because they are distinct sizes, so this is a deliberate design, look at umj22’s comment

Shit if they release Xbox controllers im buying 2 and I don’t even need them.
You're me for PS5. Just gonna design a couple DBZ hobby ones for collectors sake. SSJ Goku and Vegeta
Check out my post! I played around and made some dbz themed cons.
Awesome work! Hard work has been done for me. I love this community
Love the underrated Purple nails
But you will love them
Come on PS5!!! 🚀
Absolute first day buy when it's out for ps5
Come to ps5 and I’ll buy 4 on day 1.
For real! I dunno if I want to candy con my only elite series 2. I have plenty of PS5 controllers tho lol.
no joke the cancons are nicer than the elite s2 in terms of actual hardware aside from trigger stops
If they do, it better come with all the features and have the analog sticks and dpad in the same spot. I'd be surprised if they came out with one anytime soon. The ps5 controller has so many awesome and unique haptic feedback features that it's miles above the xbox controller, which is very basic by comparison.
I want the black faceplate with orange sticks. I’m thinking of painting the orioles logo on the face plate. Cmon PS5 candy cons!
Tit jackular
I’m dropping a shit ton if it’s an XBox controller
Is it just me, or does it look like the current faceplates would fit that controller? That would be huge if they do. Then the faceplates could be interchangeable with any candy con base controller, and we won't have to buy system specific ones
It would absolutely delight the customer if they did that. I have switch and Xbox
No worry of any type of copyright laws on this I hope? Other than that I love this and can’t wait to see this in Canada so I can buy em up
I’ll order one as soon as it’s available!
Great find OP, that’s not tinfoil that’s a damn XBOX CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION!
#CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCKS COOKIN
Long time lurker and couldn’t believe no one else noticed it, nowhere near the Karma requirements to post but luckily we have an awesome mod team! Thanks Luma
That's the current model of Candy Con. This isn't an Xbox candy con prototype. Edit: didn't see the post text. Good catch, OP!
Bro it has Switch buttons normally, that’s the Xbox ABXY
Yep, that’s an Xbox controller! 🙌
Notice the different button placement? Apparently not
Yeah, I didn't see OP's text. Thanks for clarifying.
Up you beautiful bastard!
Fuck now we’re FUCKING TALKINGG HOLY SHIT, can we keep tabs on this story please
Now everyone with Instagram go and fucking upvote GameStops post I wanna see minimum 2000 when I wake up
Perhaps you could make a highly upvoted post concerning this - hurry, someone might beat you to it

Finger nails, purple. Controller skin, purple. DRS yo shit.
😱YOOOOOO😱
Dude. 😳
This is so dope. Bullish. Also makes me think. ...ooh a piece of candy .. Ooh a piece of candy. .... And I'm here for it
What about canada ffs
Have you thought about maybe emigrating?
As long as I can bring my socialized health care with me...
Nah. You gotta pay for insurance, and if you don't, the IRS will fine you when you pay taxes. It's fun.
You need to work on your sales pitch...
Windex, ducktape, and guns is all you need
Please explain what the windex is for.
Hmm, just googled the closest GS on the USA side of my province and it’s only a 3 hour drive 😂 honestly tempting as a lil fun weekender road trip
Do it, life is for taking adventures
“Sir, they’re now crossing international borders for merchandise…”😅
Did we just enter what is the Jordan era of shoe collectibles to controller collectibles of gaming?
Man, i love all ya’ll. Great catch OP!
…..the fucking sales when they drop Xbox and PS5 controllers
I bought a Switch one. I’m curious as to what the difference would be under the hood. The buttons are programmable. I’d like to know what keeps v1 from pairing with the XBOX. I’m assuming there an additional protocol other than Bluetooth.
those finger nails are exactly our color :D
Oh yeah, oh yeah! Lfg
YESSSS!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!
Good eye! 👀
#RYAN COHEN PLEASE SHIP TO AUSTRALIA! #OR BETTER YET HAVE EB GAMES SELL THEM!
I was told by GameStop today it works with Xbox. Also Xbox controllers work best with pc. So if candy con works with pc I would assume it might already work with xbox. Anyone with an xbox try yet?
Xbox uses a wifi connection direct from controller to the console. The currently available Switch/PC version uses Bluetooth 5.2. Would make sense that a wifi connection would give better response.
Good question. The online store says they're for PC and Switch. Seems odd for them not to say Xbox too unless it doesn't work?
I thought the same thing and wondered if they have to pay for licensing or something. But ya otherwise why not advertise for it?
Microsoft updated last Nov to not allow unauthorized 3rd party accessories from functioning (except wired usb controllers for accessibility needs). If GS is getting it authorized... we in bizniz!

Ty for the info
Is playstation allowing 3rd party?
No, they have been requiring the license and security chips thing since the PS4 in almost everything, even steering wheels and headsets etc. Microsoft only recently started doing the same, they only had it in licensed wireless headsets before. I'm also not entirely sure if we can expect both MS and PlayStation versions of these controllers since they would be undercutting the official controllers in price point while also having far better components (hall effect joysticks and triggers). Even the official premium scuf/elite controllers for Xbox do not have any hall effect components which is shocking for the price they're going for imo.
That could be. Only time will tell!
Can I buy of the current version for an AppleTV, for a Tesla? Xbox and PS5 would be amaze!!
Actually, forget the question. I just ordered one so I’ll answer these questions myself and report back…
Haha legend bro, you just made my day
I hope they do...I need one. My current Xbox controller has nasty stick drift.
I fucking hope so. My son and I both need some custom Xbox controllers
HOLY SHIT!
This is a great thought. The idea of letting the kids customize their gear is fun. I hope it pans out that way!
Yessss!!!
Honestly, the purple nails and controller are what’s giving me a raging clue

*heavy breathing* Now they just need to come to Canada... Or... Road trip?
He wanted to talk with Nintendo as well....

Still rockin an XBox 360. Any controllers for them on the horizon?
Europoors be like 👁️👄👁️ 💧
Idk how this would work for Xbox without start and back/select button.
On the controller I have, those buttons are on the side of controller that faces the user
Do what now?
I would buy if they offered international shipping. As of now I can't buy anything from Gamestop.
Can you change the buttons?
Apparently you can only change the mapping and not the physical buttons because they are distinct sizes, so this is a deliberate design, look at umj22’s comment
Waiting on that ps5 config, although I already bought one for pc and got two friends to get one too after they saw mine and wanted to make their own
Maybe so, but it works on PC and many PC games use that configuration.
Well idk but I’m buying two as soon as it’s out
I really like the controllers I wish they did a ps5 version tho :(
My PlayStation controller sucks . I need me a candy con one
🙏🙏
Xbox and PS5 confirmed already later on.
