XBOX Nano Controller review: Brilliant for its intended purposes

They say "good things come in small packages" - and that's especially true with the new XBOX Nano Controller.

The smallest XBOX-branded controller to date, the Nano is designed for gamers with smaller hands. Its compact nature also means it's easier to take it out and about with you. It's basically a standard XBOX controller with all the controls you'd expect but in a much smaller package.

And for those reasons, it's undoubtedly excellent. It's easy to set up, doesn't take up much room when you have it on you and does exactly what it sets out to do. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, it doesn't go hugely beyond that, though.
