Must have for Xbox fans
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is a must have for a Xbox fan. The look is amazing. Not sure if its me but feels better than standard series s/x controllers as well. You also get a nice 20th year anniversary background for your console when tye controller paris with it. And tyebbox has a nice Easter egg when a black light is shined on it.

Translucent FTW

I’ll never get tired of translucent controllers honestly lol. The grips on the back feel nice and pop with a bright green. This is a must have for Xbox fans and controller collectors.

For the veterans
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant on buying 20th Anniversary merch, but after seeing this controller. I definitely wanted something special for my new Xbox. It’s the updated controller, feels good and makes you remember the days of when Halo first came out and you’re playing split screen with someone.

Xbox 20th Anniversary Controller.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a great controller, what really stands out most on this controller is the rubber grips on the back. The grips do feel better on your hands after a long play session. A plus with this controller is when you sync it to your Series X/S you get a cool dynamic theme you can have on your Home Screen celebrating 20 years of Xbox.

A Worthy collectible and a great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While this is $10 more than a normal Xbox Series S/X controller, I wager it's worth it. The special edition includes a translucent front plastic chell, allowing us to see the insides. Microsoft went through the trouble of painting the inner frame silver to show better through the translucent shell. It also allows you to see the spinning weights for the rumble frature. The Xbox 20th Anniversary logo is molded in the plastic and located to the right of the right analog stick. There's a green rin around the D-pad to highlight it as well. The gray on black ABXY, and Menu share buttons are unique, as is the green Xbox logo button (which does light up). On the back are green rubber grips not seen on other controllers making it comfy to hold and hard to slip from your hands. Overall, it's a beautiful and properly functional collectible controller. It's become my Go to Xbox controller

Great updates from 20 years ago.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like the added grip on the handles and the texture on the triggers help keep you on point. the internals look great in the transperant grey. The cherry on top is the logo lights up green.

Q: QuestionDoes this only use double AA batteries or will the rechargeable battery pack he has for his current remotes work?
Asked by Curious.
- A:Answer Thank you for your question! This controller uses two AA batteries (included), however you may also use a rechargeable battery pack designed for use with Xbox Series X/S controllers such as the Xbox Rechargeable Battery and USB-C Cable for Xbox Series X/S. A rechargeable battery pack designed for Xbox One controllers may also be used, however you will need to get a standard USB-C cable since this controller is not compatible with micro-USB.

Q: QuestionAre the green grips just textured or rubberized?
Asked by Yunior12.
- A:Answer The box states that the green grips are textured so I would assume the grips resemble the texturing on the triggers.
