New Xbox controller colors: Electric Volt and Daystrike Camo Special Edition

[Slash]

As we continue to expand our collection of Xbox Wireless Controllers, we aim to bring new controller designs to our fans to expand their own. We recognize what speaks to you will differ from other Xbox fans, from exciting, visually appealing designs to features that enhance performance, or both. Today, we're excited to introduce not one, but two new Xbox Wireless Controllers to add to your personal collection.

Inspired by the energy and vibrance often found in athletic apparel and sneaker design, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Electric Volt is the newest color in the current generation of Xbox controllers. Electric Volt builds on the same, striking color theme of Shock Blue and Pulse Red but takes it up a notch with a high-energy, yellow resin not yet seen on Xbox hardware. The high-vis yellow top case punches hard against the matte black hybrid D-pad while the white back case adds even more dimension to the design. Textured grip on the bumpers, triggers, and back case help provide greater control through every gaming session. The new Xbox Wireless Controller – Electric Volt will be available for $64.99 USD beginning April 27 in most Xbox markets worldwide and can be purchased at select retailers, including Microsoft Store. Check your local retailer for product availability in your region. For more product details, visit Xbox.com.

The Xbox Wireless Controller – Daystrike Camo Special Edition is the third installment in our Camo series, following the Night Ops Camo and Arctic Camo Special Edition controllers, and first in the latest generation of Xbox controllers. Your favorite Xbox camo takes on a unique, lifestyle twist in this fresh design. With a palette of deep reds, paired with grey and black, Daystrike Camo brings a streetwear vibe to your game. It also includes features standard of the new Xbox Wireless Controllers like the Share button, hybrid D-pad, and textured grip on the triggers. For the first time ever, the Daystrike Camo Special Edition incorporates textured grip across the entire top surface of the bumpers to keep your grip locked in and on target. The Xbox Wireless Controller – Daystrike Camo Special Edition will be available for $69.99 USD starting May 4 in most Xbox markets worldwide. Check your local retailer for availability.

[hey it's that dog]

Mountain Dew acquisition incoming.

 

[Consequence]

Oh hell yeah, gimme that Mountain Dew controller.

 

[Majora85]

I actually really like that Electric Volt controller but I already have the Shock Blue and an Elite 2 so I can't really justify another one.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

I like that neon one

 

[Serene]

that highlighter controller

 

[darkside]

The first controller legitimately hurts my eyes to look at. Its just so bright. But at least you'll always know where your controller is at all times.

 

[Rocketz]

Electric would look way better with a black back.

 

[Rob]

I wish the Volt had a black back, but I am getting it ASAP.

 

[Gassy_N0va]

Not usually a fan of lime green but digging that controller.

 

[ZeroX]

I clicked assuming electric volt would be some cool yellow and blue and am leaving supremely disappointed

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

These are all right but not as ace as the blue and red.

 

[nihilence]

Will match my Mountain Dew.

 

[Lord Fanny]

I'm going to buy the shit out of that Mountain Dew controller

 

[Rowsdower]

I love the Mountain Dew controller. I need it.

 

[0451]

I need the Electric Volt controller.

 

[tapedeck]

Dew controller is fire, scooping that asap.

 

[Patitoloco]

I like that lime one

 

[ghostcrew]

Came in to mock these names but that neon yellow controller is sexy as hell

 

[Adryuu]

Lemon controller maybe would look good in reality, but I probably still prefer Sonic controller and that would be my choice if I had to get a second one.

 

[h3ro]

That green one is dope.

 

[Chucker]

Would have 100% bought the Electric Volt if I didn't just buy the red one 3 weeks ago.

 

[Izzard]

No one will lose that green one, that's for sure.

 

[Mecha]

I like the Daystrike Camo, anyone saying that is buying the Electric Volt deserves a 1 day ban at least. 😅

 

[nihilence]

Also, why not make the texture on the voltage too. Or make it standard.

 

[Tora]

Gotta be careful not to end up buying all of these, I have the black/blue controllers and had to fight myself not to buy the red colour

 

[Ashura T. Hedgehog]

I'm a sucker for the color red. That camo controller is getting bought

 

[Lump]

Is that a glow in the dark controller

 

[Lowrys]

I'll get the neon one. Hopefully they've fixed the A button on these. Doubt it tho.

 

[SeriuzBiznus]

Won't be getting a new Xbox controller until they do something about those button issues. It's a shame because I love the feel of the controller. Will just have to stick with my 8bitdo on PC for now.

 

[cursed beef]

Microsoft buying the military confi– what's that? They already fund and contribute to war efforts across the globe? And the camo controller is just another reflection of the deep militaristic underpinnings of video games and society as whole? Well, uh, okay then.

Neon's cool tho.

 

[Anno]

I don't know why but I really like the neon lime one.

 

[TheBiInBilingual]

Good god, camo will always continue to be tacky.

 

[Dervius]

Won't be getting a new Xbox controller until they do something about those button issues. It's a shame because I love the feel of the controller. Will just have to stick with my 8bitdo on PC for now.

What issues?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Should've just been pure yellow to have more Sega Conspiracy posts.

 

[Jamie]

Too many controllers as it is but I'll add that green one eventually. Looks pretty sweet.

 

[SeriuzBiznus]

What issues?

Some Xbox controllers are failing to respond to button presses

 

[astro]

Actually think the weird mountain dew one will look really nice IRL.

TIL

 

[Deleted member 22750]

Do the dew

I got the sonic blue controller cheap
I'm down for this one at 45 dollars if it happens

 

[secretanchitman]

Honestly I prefer the standard blue and red over this highlighter yellow and camo red. Not my style.

I'm surprised as to how much I enjoy the new XSX controller - the d-pad is significantly better and it feels great.

 

[Musubi]

Yall are weird. That neon controller is garish as hell.

 

[ApeEscaper]

Reminds me of the Vita Slim Lime Green i used to have

 

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Shrek-lookin'-ass controller

 

[Abhor]

These are some ugly controllers.

 

[Falchion]

I like the volt one except for the white battery cover.

 

[sibarraz]

Shrek-lookin'-ass controller

Microsoft is buying Dreamworks!

 

[Gay Bowser]

The two new colors incorporate recycled, post-consumer resins for the first time on an Xbox controller. That's pretty cool.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Might get that volt need another

 

[memortal]

New Green controller is just delicious. I really love what Microsoft is doing with Xbox lately, they are moving in right direction imo. This gen Xbox is all about giving options to gamers, want 4K bad ass system? You got Series X. Don't mind 4K, disc drive, and limited storage and want to enjoy what Xbox offers for an affordable price point ? You got Series S

About controllers? they are offering total of 6 different colors for Series consoles

I wonder what Sony is doing, Sony got huge hype right now thanks to the awesome console called ps4 (it was an amazing journey I really loved ps4) but Xbox is going in right direction and once all these talented first party studios start to bring their stuff on the table Xbox brand will grab gamers attention
