    All Xbox One pads will soon feature remappable controls, Microsoft has said.​

    I mean, it's really nice. But £129?​

    The feature is currently limited to the lovely but pricey Xbox One Elite controller, which costs a wallet-busting £129.​
    The Elite pad has the luxury of various extra triggers on the controller's reverse side, but remappable controls need not require extra buttons. For example, the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 allows for remappable controls as standard.​
    Happily, Xbox exec Mike Ybarra has confirmed that the feature will soon become standard for Xbox pads too.​
    "It's coming for all controllers soon," Ybarra revealed via Twitter last night.​
    Background music is another much-requested feature for Xbox One - something that owners have asked for ever since the console launched nearly two years ago (and another feature that PS4 now has).​
    Writing on Twitter last week, Xbox boss Phil Spencer promised the feature was still on the drawing board - but was lower down the list of priorities than other additions.​
    "This one is just a prioritisation thing with other work," Spencer explained. "We like the feature. It's in the list of things we want to do, just behind other work we are doing right now."​
