Microsoft has announced a new Xbox controller made from recycled materials, which is part of the company's efforts to be more sustainable. The Xbox Remix Special Edition controller is a limited-edition version of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller that has been made using recycled plastics. The controller features a white and gray design with black accents, and it comes with a USB-C cable for charging.
The Xbox Remix Special Edition controller is not only more environmentally friendly than other Xbox controllers, but it also has all the features that gamers expect from a controller. It has a textured grip for better control, a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio, and Bluetooth connectivity for easy pairing with compatible devices.
While the Xbox Remix Special Edition controller is a limited edition, it's still a great option for gamers who are looking for a more sustainable option for their gaming setup. And, at £60 on Amazon UK, it's also a great value.
Of course, the Xbox Remix Special Edition controller isn't the only option for Xbox gamers. There are plenty of other controllers available from third-party companies, but most of them are wired. This is mostly because Microsoft has kept its proprietary Xbox Wireless technology exclusive to its first-party controllers.
However, that changed recently when Microsoft announced that it would be opening up its Xbox Wireless technology to third-party companies. This means that gamers will soon be able to use a wider range of wireless controllers with their Xbox consoles.
In addition to third-party controllers, there are also plenty of great first-party Xbox controllers to choose from. The Xbox Elite Series 2 is one of the most popular options, with its customizable buttons, hair trigger locks, and interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles.
There's also the standard Xbox Wireless Controller, which is a great option for gamers who want a more traditional controller experience. It's comfortable to hold, has a solid build quality, and has all the features that gamers expect from a controller.
For gamers who want to play games on their PC, there are also plenty of wireless controllers available. The Xbox Wireless Controller is one option, but there are also controllers from other companies like Logitech and Razer that are designed specifically for PC gaming.
And, for those who want to use a controller with the upcoming Steam Deck, there's good news. According to Valve, gamers will be able to use external controllers with the Steam Deck, either docked or wired. This is ideal for when you have the handheld docked to a TV or monitor and want to play games with a more traditional controller.
Overall, there are plenty of great options for Xbox gamers when it comes to controllers. Whether you're looking for something more sustainable, more customizable, or just more comfortable, there's a controller out there for you.
