Microsoft's New Xbox Controller is More Translucent Than Ever Before

Microsoft has introduced yet another addition to its extensive lineup of Xbox controllers, and this one is sure to catch the eye of gamers and collectors alike. The new "Sky Cipher Special Edition" controller boasts a striking translucent blue design, allowing users to peer into the inner workings of the device.

A Stunning New Design

The Sky Cipher Special Edition controller stands out with its translucent blue finish, marking a departure from previous translucent models that only featured the effect on the top half. This new design is mostly translucent, excluding the rear, grips, and buttons. The aesthetic is reminiscent of the special 20th edition model released in 2021, but with a fresh blue twist. Complementing the translucent body are two-tone thumbsticks, a matching D-pad, and metallic blue triggers, creating a visually cohesive and appealing look.

Familiar Features with a New Look

While the Sky Cipher controller brings a new look, it maintains the reliable features of the Xbox Series S/X controller. Gamers can enjoy up to 40 hours of battery life, a 3.5mm audio jack, and USB-C connectivity. The consistency in functionality ensures that players won’t have to sacrifice performance for style.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Sky Cipher is the first Xbox controller to ship in Microsoft's new environmentally friendly packaging. Daniel Ruiz, senior marketing manager for Xbox accessories, highlighted the eco-conscious changes: “Single-use plastics have been removed from the packaging, and the traditional paper manual has been replaced with a QR code for a digital quick start guide.” Furthermore, the packaging is now 22 percent smaller and 21 percent lighter, reducing its environmental footprint significantly (previously 177mm x 175.4mm x 72mm and 152.3g).

Conclusion

Microsoft continues to innovate in both design and environmental responsibility with its new Sky Cipher Special Edition Xbox controller. The stunning translucent blue design, coupled with eco-friendly packaging, sets a new standard for gaming accessories. Whether you’re a gamer looking to upgrade your controller or a collector seeking the latest addition, the Sky Cipher offers a perfect blend of functionality and style.
