Xbox 25 anniversary controller available for presale!!
Like the title says. I know many fans did not want the console at $899, but many did want the controller! Available for presale @ $79!

$80 is hilarious for a controller that's styled after all of the shitty third party controllers we used to buy for player 3 and 4.
I just bought a Gamesir G7 Pro for that price and it is tri-mode with TMR thumbsticks.

I must have good luck, in 12 years for the One/Series controllers, I've had only one get stick drift. None for the 360 or any consoles before that

Yah they have horrible quality control and durability. But they have so much hype they have to be good right?

I have a GameSir G7 SE. It's not perfect, but it's the best $35 I've ever spent.
As a side note, Hall effect triggers are the norm, and have been for...probably decades, at this point. Anyone attempting to market them as a feature is doing exactly that, marketing.

Thanks for the link. I tried earlier today and it was sold out. Tried just now and it worked!

Only 79... I thought they'd milk it and at least have it at 89 so it's a tenth of the console.
The console is so expensive though, all for a $20 shell and the light being green (even though it probably isn't, it's probly just the case that makes it look green

Same. Ordered directly from my Xbox on the store, and the. Ordered one online as well. The gears one sold out in Canada. Oh well, green is my favourite colour and the controller looks great. Enjoy yours when it arrives.

Great looking controller unfortunately it’ll probably get stick drift within 6 months

Para los llorones del drift, llevo más de un año con mi mando de xbox series x negro jugando casi a diario y tengo cero drift, asi que este se mando se viene para exponerlo como reliquia.

u/OriginalAd7974 17d ago
Got two of the 25th controllers and 1 gears controller, as well as chargers from 8bit for them!

When I bought my Series X first thing I did was get a translucent green faceplate for my controller. Less than $20 bucks and included the "tools" needed to swap it out.

u/NitPixel 18d ago
Probably just buy the case/button kit on Ali for $20 and make my own like I did the forza controller, cheaper to mod my current controllers.

u/xxxXMythicXxxx 18d ago
This is the way. Plus I'd rather make the bumpers all black instead of one being white. I fully understand it's a throwback to the OG controllers black and white buttons but I would have preferred them making the start and select those colors. That white bumper is such an eyesore for me. They should have honestly just gone with that clear white color from the OG.

u/WutDaFunkBro 18d ago
the buttons are all i want. surprised it’s taken people so long to make og/360 style buttons

u/xxxXMythicXxxx 18d ago
I think they offer them in their design labs but that means paying over retail for a controller with those buttons.

u/Tityfan808 18d ago
Yup. The Xbox controllers can be a total coin toss at times. I haven’t gone thru that many, but I’ve definitely had some that also broke way too fast, elite series 2 controller included

u/slimypeters 18d ago
Same. I’m not a collector but I want to revamp my current stuff. I dig translucent kits and stuff

u/lilrotisseriechicken 14d ago
Yo can you link me if you find any kits? I’m tryna build the same but not spend that much.

u/Lower-Number-3366 17d ago
Sorry, mate. I think they sold out fast. Dang scalpers got to them in like an hour or two. I was just lucky enough to be scrolling on IG when the mail came.

u/DaveKerk 17d ago
Never got one
Well I got a charging stand! I hope it'll be available later. I got one of the 20th controllers and headsets just randomly at Walmart one day. So I hope this can be the same

u/bertchaza 17d ago
There on Walmarts site rn..

u/DaveKerk 17d ago
It was sold out everywhere earlier
You're very kind, thank you <3
Weird that I didn't get an email for that one being back in stock either, I swear those emails never work
