Microsoft is making a big splash with this 'Deep Pink' special edition Xbox controller. It's being marketed as an enhancement to the standard Xbox controller, though I'm not entirely sure if that marketing is in line with the product provided.

Looks like retailers are rapidly adding the product to their inventory since this announcement was on short-noticed, aside from Microsoft, EBgames Australia seems to have been one of the first to have a major as relating to the controller, https://c1-ebgames.eb-cdn.com.au/me...deep-pink-controller-announce-lg.c8e2de4b.jpg

I'm 99% sure this has been available in NA for a long time. I wonder why IT is just now getting it.

Xbox US is showing in stock again though, which it had been OOS for awhile.

 

[The_Mike]

I browsed the store for fun in Denmark.

Looked after a black controller, but the only one I could get was a pink one.

No thank you.

Well, the US may have had it before, but it's back in stock and Microsoft is marketing it again.

Europe is getting the controller for the first time with a big marketing campaign, also including New Zealand and Australia. I guess some event must be coming soon to warrant this new focus on the Deep Pink controller.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Awesome. I would love to have one.

If someone wants a pink Xbox controller I guess this is the way to go. Or design lab.

If you want pink the standard one is actually better. My girlfriend wanted one, and it was always OOS so I figured I'd use design lab but it's impossible to recreate the buttons unfortunately. You just gotta choose black/white/colored. This controller looks way better outside of the white back.

It's a trade off I guess. I'd prefer black buttons with white markings and pink back over the matching pink on the buttons and the glaring white back. But everyone has their preferences.

 

[jigglet]

that's a nice shade of pink

Missed op. Should've gone for "black" instead of "deep" and partnered officially with:

Koreaboo not Weeb.

Koreaboos are even worse than weeds. Though I say that as somebody that loves anime and Japanese shit.

 

[Elginer]

I love collecting Xbox Controllers and I have no idea why. Gotta say this looks nice.

 

[GenericUser]

Nice option for the ladies.

 

[Black_Stride]

Microsoft are making a killing on basically selling custom facebuttons.
Most of their latest designs are or were designlab features.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I’m still loving my Xbox anniversary controller. It uses different part, and makes it feel like a different controller than the the rest of the series controllers.

 

[DenchDeckard]

They always win with their colours and designs in my opinion. Design lab is just the icing on the cake.

Make an elite v3 that's robust and doesn't break every 5 minutes and add it design lab and I'll throw my money at it.

 

[Hoppa]

I like the shade they went with but the pictures with the hands make it look a lot more saturated. Any pictures of it in normal lighting?

 

[gaming_again]

Looks real nice.

I wish they were hardier. I’ve gone through two in under a year.

 

[Mattyp]

Sweet, still have my 360 pink one they did will pick this up for my daughter for sure.

 

[Jinjo]

Pink & grippy, nice.

 

[GymWolf]

Italy stay winning.

 

[GymWolf]

who is that

A bunch of plastic and silicon in human form most probably.

Whats the difference between the anniversary controller and the Phantom controllers.
Or any special edition controller in fact?

Like the Forza 5 controller or the absolutely sublime Aqua Shift.

I'd love a Xbox controller that has some of the dualsense quality : Much more silent buttons and sticks, and better working buttons too.

I hate how on Xbox Series controller the buttons won't work properly depending on the angle you press them or the amount of pressure. For example in Kingdom Hearts I have to hold the A button to fly, but I often randomly fall because the input goes off, even if the button is actually still being pressed, I need to press it harder, and the angle impacts it too. This isn't an issue on the dualsense because if the button is pressed, it's pressed, no matter what, how it should be.

Sadly the dualsense compatibility on PC isn't great, especially with how the rumbles only work on the left side if the game doesn't use haptic feedback.

So yeah, a more silent xbox controller, with better buttons, something more reliable that doesn't break in 6 months, I would be verry happy.

 

[Rest]

Nice.

 

[Drew1440]

Can you actually game with nails like that?

It’s a smoother plastic, and the rubber grips. And most importantly, it has a signature from Phil Spencer himself. A god among men.

 

[Black_Stride]

So like pretty much every LE controller?

 

[ARK1391]

I don't like pink things, but that is a really good pink color for a controller. I'd never buy it, but it does look nice.

 

[Banjo64]

Deep pink?

 

[FoxMcChief]

So like pretty much every LE controller?

I don’t think they all have both. And do they have Phil Spencer’s autograph?

 

[manfestival]

well since this is a xbox controller thread. What batteries/charger do yall recommend? I got my xsx controller to keep my dual sense company back for Christmas but was wondering what the best option is once the battery runs out? I have charging station for my dual sense but this is my first wireless xbox controller.

 

[Black_Stride]

Most of the actual LE controllers are the smoother plastic and have rubberized grips.
The "not so" LE controllers have textured grips.

Rubberized grips go all the way back to the king of LE controllers the Lunar White one:

Rubberized grip is also an option in DesignLab.

This seems more of an issue with your hands/fingers than the controller tbh.

 

[Larxia]

Uh? It doesn't happen with Xbox 360, It doesn't happen with ps3/ps4/ps5, it happens with Xbox Series.
It's a problem with the controller. The buttons can be pressed, but not actually triggered, because the triggers doesn't actually match with the "click" of the button, it's further than where it clicks, which is dumb. You can make the input go on and off just by sliiitghly moving your thumb, without the button going up at all.

*waves hand dramatically while ordering a pink controller.

Always loved the look of that controller.

I missed the initial run of them like a bitch due to stupidity.
And ive been conteplating paying scalper prices for one ever since.
I think this year I'm just going to say fuck it and pull the trigger so I can stop looking at listings of unopened Lunar White controllers.

Might be able to make your own version of them on Design Lab at this point

 

[Fahdis]

Got a Pink and White one made recenetly on Design Labs with Textures and Rubber grips. Its very cool. I wish Sony let us customize the same way.

 

[Hoppa]

The first two images?

Shopped so it’s hard to tell how accurate they are.. I saw a video of it on YouTube and those pictures are actually spot on. Might sound obvious that the marketing for a specific colored controller would need to match the product but the cosmic red Dualsense looked a little bit different in person to me

 

[Black_Stride]

Its what I was saying earlier in the thread.
The only thing truly custom about most of these color LE controllers is the face buttons.
Almost everything else can be replicated in DesignLab.
We had the Phantoms, we had the Shadows the current season has Camo and Metallics, im sure next season will have the Shifts.

But matching the face buttons is impossible.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Xbox UK account is questionable. lol

 

[Thirty7ven]

Great color actually.
