The Xbox team is always coming up with absolutely stunning designs for its controllers, but this latest one that appears to be nothing more than a funny social media joke at this stage may not necessarily be everyone's cup of tea.
Introducing the "Canadian Tuxedo" controller for Xbox Series X|S and PC. It's described as a "one-of-a-kind" controller - featuring a denim finish and even two tiny pockets. Lovely...
In all seriousness, it seems the Xbox Canada team is eager to know what local fans' "dream Canadian-themed controller" would be - going on to state how it just might make it.
What do you think of this all-denim controller? Feel free to share any "dream" controller ideas in the comments below.

I’m all a boot this...
Probably because I’m from the UK but why is it “Canadian Tuxedo” if it’s a denim design? Are Canadian formalwear made of denim?
@WesEds Since I've got a de facto degree in hollow jingoism due to being from the US, I can confidently say it's just a boast of their national identity of rugged outdoorsmanship. It's an intentional poke in the eye of traditional formalwear, but that'd be meaningless if denim versions of such were their actual tradition, so... no. Pretty sure Canada didn't really go through some mysterious national tuxedo shortage decades ago precipitating a wholesale inversion of their clothing markets.
...All that said, that's a damn fine looking controller, if it isn't a photoshop. I'll bet that denim finish would look and feel awesomely novel, for the slice of users relaxed enough not to sweat it to pieces in marathon white-knuckle gaming sessions, and responsible enough not to trash it with crumbs and food stains. I'd love to get a chance to try it out in person.
@Fath interesting. Replacing rubber/silicone skins with denim would be a nice cheaper alternative
@Fath @WesEds That said, I lived in the US on the Canadian border for some time, & I actually did have a few Canadian friends who sported the denim jeans with denim jacket look on the regular. Not saying this is the national norm, but I did appreciate it at the time
I'm Canadian and i think this is an abomination..
@Bmartin001
yeah i agree, my fingers would get stuck in those little pockets.
As a Canadian as well. I wonder why they couldn't come with something more stereotypical such as ...a controller that is also a maple syrup dispenser.
The right belt loop would catch your thumb a lot. Not a practical design.
