Was going to grab one but did a quick Reddit and a user mentioned the BROWN BUTTONS AND BROWN ANYWHERE YOU THOUGHT WAS BLACK!!!

Instant decision to not buy and cannot figure out why not just use red or black.

Hope I saved some folks or got someone excited about BROWN BUTTONS!

Thanks for pointing that out, I didnt even notice. They kind of fade into the red that way tho, and that works for me.

I never look at my controller except when looking for it. Yet I still want this. Must resist.

I bought the 20th Anniversary, the Blue Cipher, the Ghost Cipher, and now the Pulse Cipher. I like the transparent aesthetic and even though this is completely impractical, I can't help it. I wish the transparent fad of the late 90s to early 2000s never died. They have to release a green one at some point, right? Right??

Why support them when they don't FIX the stick drift? This is not a purchase, you're just renting the controller...

Look up hall effect controllers instead. Some are useable on Xbox.

(No...I'm not doing the work for you. Just Google it....lazy keyboard warrior kids.)

why do people care what their console and accessories look like? I personally care more about performance and games. what a weird generation.

I've never had any issues with my Xbox controllers

Joy cons on the other hand... All of them.

How they even think this is worth 80 retail is hilarious, not even hall effect sticks!

My experience, also. Never had one Xbox controller develop stick drift, but all of my joycons did.

$54 for a regular xbox controller is not a deal regardless of what color it is. skins are dirt cheap on ali. you can have any color you want.
