Microsoft has always been known for offering users the ability to take home a fully customized version of their controllers, both in terms of colors, textures and materials, helping to turn our passion for video games into a kind of claim of our tastes. Now Microsoft has gone further.
Positive impact on the environment
As you know, in recent years a frantic race has begun to stop any activity that has a negative impact on the environment and, if possible, this implies a clear advantage both in terms of emissions of materials into the atmosphere , as in what refers to the reuse of natural resources. NOW, the goal of many companies is to support this circular economy
So on the occasion of Earth Day which will be celebrated on April 22, Saturday, Microsoft has released a new gamepad for its Xbox consoles – and PC – which meets these requirements for having been manufactured, in part, with recycled materials that belonged to other products that have already had a previous life on the market and in stores.
The result is a very nice controller, with very colorful green tones and attractive and that alternates other matching tones such as blue on the back, that touch of vanilla on the sides, a chlorophyll green on the triggers, D-pad and USB-C connector area, and a cover for batteries that is happy with a gray matching the set.
New lives for the same materials
This “Earth Day” edition Xbox controller, according to Microsoft, It was made with a third of recycled materials which come from other Xbox One controls that have been reused, although there are also elements that have been part of the CD (Compact Disc) and headlights. As if that were not enough, this model already comes standard with a USB-C cable and a rechargeable battery that will allow us to forget about those AA batteries.
This Xbox controller, called Remix Special Edition, You can book it now on the official Microsoft website and it is priced at 84.99 dollars. Yes, too expensive but it’s a special party and it adds that pack charging cable and official battery, which is usually an additional cost and which for this occasion seems justified if we take into account the initiative you want to join.
If you book it now, this Xbox Remix Special Edition wireless controller will arrive on April 18 exactly four days before this celebration of Earth Day in which we all try to contribute our grain of sand by claiming these recycling practices that help to consume less and less natural resources in the pursuit of an economy that revolves around recycling and reuse. Don’t you think it’s a good cause to support?
