Plainly Microsoft has been taking note of all of these millennial nostalgia-bait posts about translucent iMacs and PlayStation DualShock controllers that go viral on social media, because it’s rising to the second with its personal lineup of see-through Xbox controllers. It’s one hundred pc working.
The corporate introduced its new Cipher Sequence for the Xbox Elite Wi-fi Controller Sequence 2 from its Xbox Design Lab as we speak and the outcomes look actually good. The brand new translucent shells are available 5 colours: inexperienced, pink, crimson, purple, teal, in addition to a totally clear one. The controllers have black handles that make the colours pop, and new Chroma D-pads and again paddles that add a pleasant crowning glory.
As a result of the Cipher sequence is a part of the design lab, Xbox homeowners can mix-and-match their favourite translucent shell with their most well-liked coloration scheme for the remainder of the buttons and triggers. The Xbox Elite Wi-fi Controller Sequence 2 begins at $150, which isn’t too unhealthy for probably the greatest controllers on the market, even when it nonetheless doesn’t include the entire bells and whistles like drift-resistant hall-effect joysticks.
Along with the brand new Elite variants, gamers searching for a less expensive possibility have one thing new to select from as nicely. The Ghost Cipher Particular Version controller is barely $70 and makes your complete physique of the controller see-through with white and gray items inside and golden accents on the D-pad and triggers.

At this level, I’d like to see them do this with the total set of the Elite’s colours, however for the bottom controllers. Particularly that old-school Xbox inexperienced. And bear in mind, you don’t want an Xbox Sequence X/S to utilize the brand new controllers. They work on PC, android, and iOS as nicely.
