The new Sky Cipher Xbox Controller might actually look better than the Deadpool/Wolverine duo ones

Less than a week after introducing the Deadpool and Wolverine Xbox Controllers, Microsoft has attracted attention again with its new creation: the Sky Cipher Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller. This is not just an ordinary controller; it’s a stylish item that mixes usefulness and attractiveness.

The controller features a semi-transparent sea blue cover, giving gamers an inside look at their device. The controller has a D-pad and triggers in the color of sky-blue. The thumbsticks are also styled with a sky-blue base, topped by dark blue tops. The rubber hand grips also have this serene sky-blue shade, creating an aesthetically pleasing piece of hardware.

But the appearance is not the only thing that makes it special. According to the announcement, Microsoft has taken a big step towards sustainability with this release. The packaging of the Sky Cipher controller shows a change from the usual way, trying to lessen environmental effects.

Sky Cipher introduces a new packaging design for Xbox controllers that embodies our commitment to reducing product carbon footprint. 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.

Single-use plastics are no longer used; instead, a QR code for a digital quick-start guide and packaging is 22% smaller and 21% lighter. This change shows the increasing tendency in tech to adopt more earth-friendly approaches.

Also, the Sky Cipher is not just good-looking. It is made to improve your gaming enjoyment and can be used with Windows 10/11 PCs, Xbox consoles, and modern smartphones.

You might be moving through a dense virtual world of your beloved role-playing game or fighting energetically in an important first-person shooter match—this controller assures that it has enough power to last up to 40 hours so you can continue playing without interruption. And with its Bluetooth technology, you can play games just about anywhere.

This special edition controller is available for $69.99 and will be delivered on August 13th.
