Nacon has unveiled the RIG PRO Compact controller which is the World’s first game controller to include Dolby Atmos for Headphones. The RIG PRO Compact controller has been designed for Xbox and is a customizable wired controller and also an app for Xbox.
The Nacon Rig Pro Compact offers exceptional audio, optimized form factor, and complete customization. Gamers can create custom button maps, change trigger sensitivity and control dead zones using the PRO Compact app for Xbox.
Dolby Atmos places game audio all around the player with three-dimensional precision, so they can react faster and more accurately. Gamers are immersed in a more intense experience that brings crystal clear, hair-raising realism to every battlefield, so they can catch the subtle, potentially game-changing sounds they have been missing.

Peter Petrides, RIG VP of Global Sales & Marketing said the following about the new Xbox controller from Nacon.
We’re excited to introduce the RIG PRO Compact controller to North America. Being able to leverage Nacon’s expertise as the #1 third-party controller brand in Europe, means we’re bringing RIG gamers a product that stays true to our brand promise. Which is to develop next generation gear that helps gamers improve their performance.
This is the perfect controller for competitive players who prefer, and play better, using a smaller form factor not available in other elite products. The PRO Compact provides unparalleled levels of customization through its dedicated PRO Compact app. This, coupled with the inclusion of Dolby Atmos, makes it an extremely compelling controller for its price.”
In order to enjoy the Dolby Atmos for headphones, users can download the Dolby Access app from the Windows Store on Xbox or Windows 10, plug in the RIG PRO Compact controller via USB and connect a headset to experience immersive audio while gaming.
