We’ve got the special covered starfield-Branded Xbox controller before. You were next to that. one of the worst kept secrets of 2023 starfield-Branded Xbox headset already available on store shelves. What I didn’t realize to this day was how damn cool the controller’s triggers are.
I mean, I like the controller design itself. I’m not quite like that hyped for starfieldTake it or leave it, but the beauty of this pad in particular is that it doesn’t look like a branded controller at all. It just looks like an Xbox controller with a really cool late 70’s early 80’s sci-fi theme. as if it were something extraordinary The Last Starfightereven if you had no idea what starfield was or cared and didn’t care, you could quiet be in this controller.
Anyway! This aesthetic discourse gets on my nerves, I want to talk about the triggers. We already knew from leaked product photos that the triggers had a transparent body, but it was one thing just to see them sitting around. It’s different to see them To movebecause as long as we’ve had vibrating controllers – and that’s decades ago now – I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the mechanics of them actually vibrate while holding the finished product in your hand:
That’s neat! Not surprisedWe all knew roughly how they worked, but it’s still cool to see it in action like this. Cool and worrisome because when I see how fast and hard these little guys have to work to keep rumbling along, I have no idea how controllers last as long as they do. Assuming they actually last as long as we want them to.
The Xbox Series X/S controller is $80 while the gaming headset is $125.
