If you’re in the market for new Xbox One controllers, as luck would have it, it seems that Microsoft has a couple of new models for you. The company has recently taken the wraps off a couple of new models in the form of the Phantom Black Special Edition and Grey/Blue that you can see in the image above to the left and right respectively.Starting with the Phantom Black Special Edition, according to Microsoft, “It was inspired by the idea of catching a glimpse inside. This controller is about mystery meeting luxury to reveal the technology within the controller. From top to bottom, this controller fades from a high-tech translucent matte black to a stunning metallic champagne gold.”
As for the Grey/Blue model, Microsoft has described it by saying, “Grey monochrome ABXY, menu, and navigation buttons reinforce the modern minimalist design. For a pop of color, there are eye-catching blue accents at the base of the thumbsticks and on the back of the controller.” Both controllers are wireless and will feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, along with Bluetooth support for gaming on devices like the Samsung Gear VR.
As for pricing, the Phantom Black model will be priced slightly higher at $70, while the Grey/Blue model will retail for $65. In terms of availability, the Phantom Black model will be sold in the US starting 11th of September, while the Grey/Blue model will be available on the 25th of September.
