I like it, but I need rubberized grips. So Marge Simpson controller in November for me.

 

[MachRc]

FOMO kicking in .. 3... 2...

 

[Speedwagon]

Gotta say I hate the blacked-out face buttons, should at least be a legible whiteish color.

 

[clem84]

I thought it was going to be the fatty OG Xobx controller.

 

[BlackM1st]

Finally, they hired someone with a good taste to design their limited edition controller.

This controller does not have rubberized grips.

This is what rubberized grips look like:

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

UK sold out

 

[Kagey K]

This controller does not have rubberized grips.

This is what rubberized grips look like:

The green is rubberized. It’s the same as the rubber in the elite version 1.

You can see it in the black on the left side too.

 

[xClout]

Damn, bought another black one not too long ago after my Elite2 turned to shit

 

[martino]

i recognize this grip . look like elite v1 one

 

[Jaysen]

The green is rubberized. It’s the same as the rubber in the elite version 1.

You can see it in the black on the left side too.

It isn’t. It’s the same texturing on my controller that was included with my console.

edit - it’s possible the green is rubberized like on the new blue controller, but I returned the blue one because only that one part was rubberized. It creates a weird raised gap between the rubber portion and the portion that is just textured.

 

[SegaManAU]

That is freakin gorgeous. I will pre-order as soon as possible. November is going to be a very expensive month.

 

[kingwingin]

It isn’t. It’s the same texturing on my controller that was included with my console,

The green part is rubberized, I have a controller with it. It's only on the inside, outside of the grips is textured plastic

 

[Jaysen]

The green part is rubberized, I have a controller with it. It's only on the inside, outside of the grips is textured plastic

So it’s the opposite of that blue controller they just released? I thought that one was dumb, because you’d think you would want the rubber section to be on the inside not the outside.

 

[xClout]

Got a pre-order

 

[coffinbirth]

Copped one.

While I was there I saw this...$180 is STEEP though.

 

[Wizz-Art]

I have the Forza Horizon 5 controller pre-ordered but this beauty will also be mine!

[edit} Yes, Pre-ordered it![/edit]

 

[93xfan]

Looks awesome! Nice job MS

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Looks great. I remember a few of the OG Xbox controllers having a similar look.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Copped one.

While I was there I saw this...$180 is STEEP though.

Um...shit that looks good.
Would be cool if these had Star Wars sounds that you can enable/disable when you press the buttons in the main Xbox menu.

This is what rubberized grips look like:

But that's a different texture than any other regular Xbox Series controller.

Both are rubber, just a different texture imho.

Edit:
Yes definitely rubber

 

[Plantoid]

Sexy as hell but my controller still works perfectly and I have no reason to get another, these things last...

But this I would buy for sure I was in need of one

 

[ManaByte]

Copped one.

Where can one learn this power?

 

[Rossco EZ]

i really want it but the green on the back annoys me, wish it was just black. looks great from the front though!

 

[Wizz-Art]

Not a fan, think I'll go for the Forza Horizon 5 one instead.

 

[ReBurn]

Just preordered from Microsoft. I don't usually care about these kinds of controllers but seeing as I've been gaming on Xbox since the beginning I think I'd like one.

 

[Rockondevil]

Man I love this so much. Nearly ordered one but I really hate rubber grips. It's just something that will go bad over time.

 

[FeldMonster]

Would've taken an updated duke myself

Edit: I don't get what's triggering about preferring a revemp to the original Xbox controller over a simple reskin of the current one for a 20th anniversary. Unless the OG Xbox is triggering somehow to Xbox fans....

The Hyperkin Duke is quite faithful to the original, and is compatible with both the Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. My only gripe with it is that is not wireless.

 

[rapid32.5]

constantly amazed by these controller designs, super impressive. I wanna have more than 3 controllers for one console but it's ridiculous.

 

[MadchesterManc]

The Hyperkin Duke is quite faithful to the original, and is compatible with both the Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. My only gripe with it is that is not wireless.

Thanks for the heads up on that, had no idea there was at least a 3rd party option that was doing a revamped Duke. I'll have to get one of these, wired is no issue for me, as not much else gets me nostalgic for classic Xbox quite like that hefty controller

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I wish they would make limited editions of Elite controller. I really like some of the designs but I will never buy a controller without back paddles.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Xbox controllers continue to unimpress me still fresh

[Derktron]

I'm surprised how easy it was to preorder but for this controller, I will actually want to buy. Looks amazing

 

[Codes 208]

I was actually hoping for a xbox series version of the original S controller

 

[Artistic]

Hopefully it isn't limited. I need a new controller and would go for this one.

$180 seems like a bit much though.

They do, as someone already pointed out the Halo Elite 2 controller, and you can always add paddles(or have someone do it for you)but that makes them a bit pricey. I'm personally considering adding back buttons to the 20th anniversary one. Not sure though with the rubber on the back, will have to get it in my hands first.

[JLB]

Not very inspired IMO.

 

[THE DUCK]

I'm actually interested in this if it has the rubberized grips.....there is some back and forth guesses on if this has or doesn't have it.
Any confirmation from Ms?

 

[fart town usa]

Damnit.

I was really hoping for this. Can you imagine, lol. edit- it actually is available for the XBOX One, fucking brilliant.

 

[Artistic]

Are these going to be hard to get?

No I didn't pre-order it.

 

[WiCkEd_Co]

At work but FedEx just dropped the 2 I ordered off at home... Can't wait to get out and check em out

 

[DarkMage619]

MS put out a video. I think it looks great.

 

[Jaysen]

I got the Forza controller last week and the anniversary one today. They’re both nice, but holy shit is the rubberized grips on the Forza controller so much nicer than their other controllers.
