The Phantom Black Xbox One controller lets you see inside the pad

The original Xbox wasn’t the prettiest of machines, but we were quite fond of the see-through crystal edition. Fast forward some 14 years and the Xbox One controller is going for the same look. The Phantom Black Special Edition features a translucent black design that fades to champagne gold on the lower half of the pad. The latter colour is also used for the d-pad, and the grips are textured to help you out when Cuphead is getting tense. Naturally, you’ve got Bluetooth support and 3.5mm jack for plugging in a headset. Pick one up for £59.99 from September 11.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
