New Xbox Controller is Stylish in Every Aspect
The vibrant deep pink Xbox Series X Controller is covered in a fabric surface, and not just any fabric, but tartan weaved by Lochcarron, the oldest weaving mill in Scotland, according to Gizmodo.
Apparently, it has been entered into the Scottish Register of tartans.
The controller's symmetry is nice, and tartan cloth feels nice to touch. The design is created in collaboration with a kiltmaking company.
The new controller still includes all the standard Xbox Series controller features players should expect, plus textured triggers and bumpers, the hybrid, circular d-pad, and more, and is compatible as usual with any Xbox Series or One plus PC and mobile, according to IGN.
As per a Gizmodo report, the vibrant deep pink Xbox Series X Controller was released a few days after Microsoft issued a special edition Xbox controller to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its console's launch in Scotland.
Since the series consoles launched in November 2020, Microsoft has released several versions of its new Xbox wireless controller. The line of the controller includes limited editions such as the 20th Anniversary version and the shiny blue Aqua Shift.
Xbox Series X Controller in Deep Pink is Limited Edition
The Xbox Series X Controller in Deep Pink is not for everyone. It is actually and technically only for a few people since the custom controller is extremely limited, according to Gizmodo.
The new controller is being given away in a social media campaign in the UK. The Xbox Design Lab also lets you design your own controller with practically limitless customization options.
The controller is compatible with Xbox consoles in addition to the Xbox One, Windows PCs that run either Windows 10 or 11 and Android and iOS mobile devices when you connect it through Bluetooth, according to Digital Trends.
What gives the deep pink controller a little advantage is the battery life that lasts about 40 hours, which makes it ideal for marathon gaming sessions.
A primary game controller for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S home video game consoles, the Xbox Wireless Controller is also commercialized for its use in Windows-based PCs and makes it compatible with other operating systems such as macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
It maintains the overall layout found in the Xbox 360 controller. However, it has various tweaks to its design, such as a revised shape, redesigned analog sticks, shoulder buttons, triggers, and new rumble motors within the triggers to allow directional haptic feedback.
