The new Sky Cipher controller from Xbox looks great
As its name suggests, the Sky Cipher controller is blue. It features various shades of the color that make it look quite good. The special touch is that its casing is transparent, so you can see the interior of the controller. This makes it one of the best-designed controllers Xbox has launched in recent months.
According to the company, the transparent blue combines very well with the silver inner parts, creating a sophisticated effect and giving the controller a futuristic touch. The peripheral will be available starting August 13 and will be sold for $69.99 USD.
Xbox revealed that it will be the first controller to feature a new packaging design. The company will eliminate single-use plastics and will do away with printed manuals, which will be replaced by a QR code that will provide access to a digital quick start guide.
Additionally, the packaging will be 22% smaller and 21% lighter. With these adjustments, Xbox aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its various lines of controllers. Below you can see another image of the Sky Cipher controller:
