Xbox has announced some new customized hardware, themed around Sega's famous mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog. Not only is there an Xbox Series S here — with a custom Sonic design — there are also two rather... different Xbox controllers.
The two controllers, based on Sonic and Knuckles, aren't exactly a standard design style. Instead, they're both covered in faux fur and to be honest, we can't tell if these would be comfiest controllers ever or the worst pads on the planet...
This is another 'winnable' custom console, i.e. you can't buy the thing. To enter, you'll have to head over to Twitter and follow the Xbox account and retweet Xbox's official sweepstakes post with the hashtag #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes to be in with a chance. If you're in the US, you can also enter using Microsoft Reward points.
There are two bundles going for those who turn out to be the lucky winners. One includes the console and a pair of the furry controllers, while the other package is just for two controllers.
If you're after something Sonic that's easier to obtain, Xbox is also adding some more Sonic-themed items to its Sonic the Hedgehog Minecraft DLC, including six new skins and a brand new challenge.
So, would you genuinely use these controllers? Or display-only? Let us know in the comments.

I want to cover my whole house in this material.
I give it 3 weeks of regular use before they smell like an orangutans posing pouch 😅
Not crazy about the controllers even if that's a fun idea. The console itself looks really cool though. Love the ring placement!
@K1LLEGAL I hope this is the reference I think it is...
The console is nice, those controllers though. 😬
I want to pet knuckles
Not a fan of the controllers. The system I think looks nice, the only good thing I can say about the controllers is that when your palms sweat from playing, the controllers will absorb the moisture. However, my son’s room already smells when he plays video games for awhile, I can only imagine how bad these controllers would get.
@WillQuan it is 😉
They're so absurd, I want those controllers.
Next up, furry VR headsets.🤣
