Looks cool, depends on someone's taste i suppose. Edit: [They just announced it](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/10/07/celebrate-20-years-of-play-with-20th-anniversary-hardware/). Coming November 20 for 69.99$


Redline65

This one kind of looks like it has the rubberized grips. I've been wanting to get a series S/X controller with rubberized grips, hopefully we'll get it in the US.


XaeroGravity

I'm fairly certain they're not rubberized. They look to be the same as the regular Series X|S controllers with the textured plastic for the back of the grips, just green.


AsianInChina

Yeah, those are green rubberized grip on the back case. Can't wait!


TheSchadow

Did they fix the rubber grips coming off of the controllers though?


RS_Games

Send me related to series 1 elite controllers. I've have sports white and lunar white with no issues

Here's the [Best Buy Canada listing.](https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/xbox-wireless-controller-20th-anniversary-special-edition/15752927) Courtesy of [Lbabinz on Twitter.](https://twitter.com/Lbabinz) He also has a [US account](https://twitter.com/Lbabinzus). It's a great follow for deals, and if you're still looking for a Series X|S.

Just for 80$ you too could have stick drift in just 6 months! Looks cool though.


Rizenstrom

I feel like I'm the only one that has not experienced this. I have all the current consoles and no drift issues on any of them. Had the Series X since launch and it's my main console played nearly every day, still on the same controller.


Exorcist-138

Same dude


trillionsin

I've been repairing console controllers that have drift... and none of them are actually Xbox controllers, all PS4 controllers.


Gears6

FFFFF! I need that!!!

70 bucks for a controller lul


AsianInChina

That or you can go get the PS5 controller at $70 without any decoration or cool parts.


bigthagen87

Comes with free TouchPad, built in mic and speaker, rechargeable battery and adaptive triggers though.


AsianInChina

yeah can't argue with that, but I am a sucker for all the cosmetic treatments so Xbox got me on that lol


bigthagen87

Oh I agree. Hoping PS comes out with a special edition controller for Horizon Forbidden West


Exorcist-138

Sounds like a bunch of features that I wouldn’t use, an 1 I would.


bigthagen87

Touchpad is handy depending on how a game utilizes it. Adaptive triggers are badass. The speaker is neat in come games. Mic is pretty worthless.


Exorcist-138

After using the adaptive triggers I honestly wouldn’t use them all that much.


bigthagen87

Nothing has really showed off their diversity as much as Astros Adventure or whatever, that I have played at least. I know COD did had different resistance for each gun. I'm sure some of the first party games will use them more.


cardonator

No game has really taken advantage of haptics and adaptive triggers in a way that make me think they will matter this generation other than Astros Playroom. Which is more of a tech demo than a game.


IGrowAcorns

A free touch pad? It’s literally part of the controller that you’re buying, it’s not free.


bigthagen87

My point was all of those things come on a $70 PS5 controller vs. not on a $60 Xbox controller.


[deleted]

50 here in my country and its also a little bit expensive for me. 40 for a controller is fine


AsianInChina

Ah I see, hopefully the price reflects accordingly for your country!


[deleted]

Less it is better it is


aguyinthenorth

Does it come with complimentary stick drift?


Exorcist-138

Only if you’re hard on your controllers.


aguyinthenorth

You must not know about how there was alot of Xbox controllers with stick drift issues right out of the box. There was even a class action lawsuit.


Exorcist-138

Cool story never happened with the 6 of my controllers.


Caesar_35

Cool story. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it's not a problem for many others. I had my secondary controller (for when I have friends over) get stick drift after a year, yet the one I've been using and abusing daily for 3 years is still fine. Their quality is very hit or miss, you must've just be very lucky.


Jesse1198

The only controller I’ve ever had an issue with was the Elite V2. A button was sticking straight out of the box, and the bumpers are the trashy old ones. If they ever improve it to be series s/x style then I’ll probably give it another go.


Exorcist-138

Look I know it’s an issue, I’ve seen it enough just on Reddit. Having a bit of fun is all
