Xbox's New Starfield Controller Includes A Special Dynamic Background For Series X|S

I like the controller but I prefer the Xbox coloured buttons.

I love the controller but I can’t justify buying one, there’s really no need my stock black one is fine. That background sucks I thought it would have been some stunning space vista not whatever that is 🤣

Mine is coming tomorrow.
Didn't go for the headphones.

Always a fan of a relatively minimal dynamic background. The controller looks incredible, but I'll probably be resisting the urge.

That said, if there was an elite version of this design..

@themightyant I'm tempted, but will be strong and wait, I do want the all green controller though, that was on offer recently, tempting indeed!

@Fenbops that will come later and from screen shots for sure

@themightyant I wasn't even that keen on the game, loved Skyrim but a 40 minute presentation blew me away, the passion the love poured into this game, made me teary eyed, was emotional.
Like watching someone's story. I'm not even the biggest Single player fan, but I was moved by it! Which says something!

@themightyant I don't care about early access the game is single player, so not sure those early adopters gain anything haha!

Mine has literally just come, it’s very pretty. Even the inside of the box is a nice touch

question fellows:is the official headset the way to go or are some of the cheaper 3rd party ones as good or better? Thanks~~~!!!

There needs to be a "I want one but pricing makes it a difficult impulse buy" option

I have two coming tomorrow,just got l the email they have shipped

@themightyant £16.93 in Iceland,no VPN needed

It's such a beautiful controller design along with the headset. I had to order both. Already shipped out and will be delivered tomorrow. I'll probably never use the controller, though because my preferred controller to use with my Series X is the Elite Series 2.

Got the controller but that background is not moving me. I plan to pair this controller to my new gaming room PC.

I voted not interested. Not because controller is crap because it looks pretty darn cool. Just shame is not an Elite Controller. I pre-ordered the version one for release day years ago and not gone back to regular since. Being able to remap buttons and other configurations just makes playing games sooooooo much easier that have terrible pre-configured control setups.

@themightyant I just do it over party chat, I doubt they will get that far to be honest, they can also you know wait a bit ha-ha!

@Banjo- Agreed. I plan on modding mine to have the colored button, like I have done with my other controllers that have all gray/black buttons.

Thinking on getting the controller, thankfully the stock levels in the UK at least are pretty good on this one. I think MS knew it would be a big seller.

@Cashews The non-starfield version of this headset was highly acclaimed. It may be the way to go if you're interested in this theme/game, or just go with the Xbox one released for the 20th anniversary.

@Scummbuddy Wow, that's a great idea. Where did you get original coloured buttons? I have the black Elite Series 2 but I may design my own Elite Series 2 one day.

@themightyant IDK which I hate more. "$35 for 5 day early access to our game that's almost certainly going to be just as broken on day 0 as day -5" or "Please order the story DLC months before the game even launches."

@Banjo- Sometimes I cannibalize legit controllers or I get some extra buttons from Amazon or ebay. Those may not be official ones but with the real ones, it feels great. I recommend it if you're not too worried about opening up a controller. Just don't scrape up the grip lines like I have once with using the wrong tool to open the controller up.

@Scummbuddy Good stuff. I opened my PS4 to remove the beeping speaker, that's my biggest hardware accomplishment 🤣.

Now that you guys talk about button colors, it is now that I notice... usually every xbox controller that uses flat colors or the buttons also has color key in the middle to let gamers know what color correspond to what button if they feel the need to look at the controller. This variant is missing that. I'm fine with that, but interesting omission none the less.

I think I clicked replay 5 times, couldn't figure out what I was missing...... .

Ah.... some squiggly lines

Taking a lot of will power not to order the controller though, really good looking

Be nice for the action buttons to have the same colours used around the Xbox logo but it’s a pretty nice looking controller.

@NEStalgia
I actually think it's great for those patient enough not to preorder. The game is in regular hands, you get a better idea of the games playable state.
I'll be getting this regular day one as long as those testing it are not upset with it.

Off course I bought one. I had to.
Cause I think I've never been so excited by a game and its possibilities. The amount of passion, and details, that has been poured into this "space game" is outstanding.

For all, into the Starfield.

Tried to resit buying the controller but I've no willpower lol just ordered it on Amazon.
