Both controllers feature intricate Geralt of Rivia-inspired etchings. At the center, you'll find the iconic wolf medallion that Geralt wears. The design also incorporates Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet used in the game, adding an authentic touch. A striking detail is the red claw marks on the right grip, representing the "III" from the game's title. These elements combine to create a visually impressive controller that any Witcher fan would be proud to own.
Functionally, these controllers are identical to their standard counterparts. I have to say, the current Xbox controller design is hands down my favorite. It's comfortable to hold and durable enough to withstand the rough play from my kids.
The Elite Series 2 model offers additional premium features that justify its higher price. It includes adjustable-tension thumbsticks, hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. Plus, it comes with interchangeable components such as thumbsticks of different heights, various D-pad designs, and customizable rear paddles, allowing you to tailor the controller to your gaming style.
These new controllers are compatible with a wide range of devices, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. If you're not solely an Xbox user, you might also be interested in the new Death Stranding 2-themed PS5 controller, which is now available for preorder.
