Featuring a blue clear top shell, rubber grips, and metallic sky blue accents, this is one of the coolest controller designs for the Xbox Series X|S. Of course, it’s also available for PC and mobile devices, and features all the usual technology of an Xbox wireless controller. These include a share button, a pairing button for quickly switching devices, and a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack.
Keep in mind that this controller runs on AA batteries rather than rechargeable battery packs, but you can get up to 40 hours of play before needing to replace the batteries. If you want a rechargeable controller, there are plenty of battery packs you can buy separately, including this officially licensed charging kit .
This is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching first-party Xbox controllers we’ve seen in years, but Microsoft has also released many other beautifully designed gaming pads. Many of these products are currently on sale, so if you want to save some money or can’t wait until August 13th to buy a new controller, here are some deals for you to check out.
