Xbox Controller Goes Transparent with Sky Cipher Special Edition

Xbox has unveiled another new Xbox Wireless Controller, the Sky Cipher Special Edition. Featuring a transparent design with an attractive blue shade, the Sky Cipher is complemented by metallic features and silver interior parts that shine through from the inside. Other highlights include Sky Blue metallic triggers and a matching D-pad, surrounded by a dark blue accent. The thumbsticks feature Sky Blue bases with dark blue tops, while the back rubberized grips are also finished in Sky Blue.

Xbox also announced that the Sky Cipher Special Edition controller introduces a new packaging design for its controllers. As part of the company’s commitment to reducing its product’s carbon footprint, single-use plastics have been removed from the packaging, and the paper manual has been replaced with a QR code for a digital quick start guide. Overall, the packaging is 22 percent smaller and 21 percent lighter.

The Xbox Wireless Controller Sky Cipher Special Edition is available for preorder starting today and is priced at $69.99 USD.
