Kotaku Highlights Xbox's Stunning See-Through Controllers
Kotaku Highlights the New See-Through Xbox Controllers
It seems that Microsoft has been paying attention to all of those millennial nostalgia-bait posts about translucent iMacs and PlayStation DualShock controllers that go viral on social media, as it’s rising to the moment with its own lineup of see-through Xbox controllers. It is 100 percent working.
Introducing the Cipher Series
The company announced its new Cipher Series for the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 from its Xbox Design Lab today and the results look really good. The new translucent shells come in five colors: green, pink, red, purple, teal, as well as a completely clear one. The controllers have black handles that make the colors pop, and new Chroma D-pads and back paddles that add a nice finishing touch.
Customization and Pricing
- The Cipher series allows Xbox owners to mix-and-match their favorite translucent shell with their preferred color scheme.
- The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 starts at $150.
- The Ghost Cipher Special Edition controller is only $70 with a transparent body design.
At this point, I’d love to see them do that with the full set of the Elite’s colors, but for the base controllers. Especially that old-school Xbox green. And remember, you don’t need an Xbox Series X/S to make use of the new controllers. They work on PC, Android, and iOS as well.
