Introducing the newest iteration of the Cipher series, Xbox Wireless Controller—Pulse Cipher Special Edition! Like its predecessors, Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher, Pulse Cipher provides players with a nostalgic transparent look infused with a futuristic twist. Despite being third in the series, this controller is special in its own right. Players can catch a glimpse of the silver midframe through the red transparent top case to reveal the mysteries found within. This vibrant design and colorway make a bold statement where modern gaming meets enduring nostalgia.

Energize your play with the Pulse Cipher controller and all its features, including red, diamond-shaped rubberized grips, dark red accents across the bumpers, buttons, and two-toned thumbsticks, a metallic hybrid D-pad, and matching metallic triggers. You can easily swap button input profiles through the Xbox Accessory Hub, where you can also preview any of the screenshots or videos you take using the dedicated Share button found in the middle of the controller.




For an enhanced gaming experience, wirelessly connect this new special edition controller to your favorite gaming devices, whether it be Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, PC, iOS, or Android devices (see xbox.com/controller-compatibility for more details; use with controller compatible games).



Pulse Cipher also features a 3.5 mm audio jack and a battery life of up to 40 hours (varies with usage and other factors).



The Xbox Wireless Controller Special Edition—Pulse Cipher is available today for pre-order in select Xbox markets worldwide for $74.99 USD ERP.

The Xbox controller would only be worth buying if they made one with hall effect sticks and triggers.

You can buy $80 third party pads which are equivalent to the Xbox Elite 2 controllers but with hall effect sticks and triggers, and also work on the Switch. There's no reason to buy Xbox controllers now, they fell behind the curve.
