Poll: Which Next-Gen Xbox Controller Do You Prefer?

I think the white controller is slick, but I always go for the black variant since the white one will be gross and maybe discolored in 10 years...
working at a used video game store made me so paranoid about white controllers Lol.

Now what I am really hoping for is the design lab existing with the new controllers, or at least some special editions soon... I missed out on that phantom magenta controller and I am still bummed about it!

They both look nice, but I voted for black.

They are not different.

I like both but i prefer the black controller, I think the d-pad looks alot better on the black controller.

@Grot I always wash my hands after eating, I see people eating with their hands and touching their electronic devices and controllers at the same time and I can't stand it .😂

Black, all day long but the more I look at the d-pad, the less convinced I am it'll be any good.

White electronics are disgusting

Always black for me, white is nice but i find that after a long/intense game session where your hands get sweaty it’s much more noticeable on white than black.

@Menchi if by disgusting you mean cheap looking then I completely agree with you. Black is always the way to go in my eyes

If your white controller is getting discolored that is a you problem that has nothing to do with the durability of white electronics. COVID is still out there wash your hands right.

I'm in the minority here but I prefer white definitely...

@BANJO I agree. I prefer the white one

I voted black.

I chose black simply because I have been using the same white Xbox One controller for years, and I want something different! They both look good to me.

I quite like the white ones tbh. I’d usually go with black but I just think white looks good on Xbox controller

Black is more “true” to the device, it’s easier to get the tint color proof (or rather, one that doesn’t stray to much). It’s also way broodier, like Batman, and more powerful. It doesn’t need as much cleaning. Aaand that’s why I’d go with white. I try to clean my HID weekly, but I know I eventually slack off… visual confirmation of filth? Yes please.

Black - like the console and all my XB1 controllers (apart from my Gears 4 and Gears 4 Elite controllers) are. I don't like White consoles or controllers...

I've got a white Xbox One X, so the controller I use everyday looks pratically the same than this one.

So I voted black, for the sake of change, and because no matter what the Series S turns out to be, I'm still rolling with the Series X as soon as it gets out

White is prettier at first, but white controllers are also more likely to become discolored over time.
