Xbox's New Controller Is a Transparent Tech Throwback
In addition to the new controller, Cipher Series Top Cases have also been revealed for Elite Series 2 controllers created through Xbox Design Lab. Xbox users can design controllers using body options that include Ghost Cipher (white), Candy Cipher (pink), Astral Cipher (purple), Pulse Cipher (red), Surf Cipher (a lighter blue than Sky Cipher), and Velocity Cipher (green). It's great that Xbox has expanded the number of transparent options, but Xbox fans should be aware that these are significantly costlier than a standard controller. The Cipher Series Top Cases add an extra $9.99 on top of the controller's base price of $149.99, and that's before any other extras are tacked on!
Hopefully the addition of these Cipher Series Top Cases to Xbox Design Lab means that we'll see standard controllers offered in these colors. While it's nice being able to design your own controller, the asking price makes it a lot less affordable than buying a mass produced existing design. Transparent tech was all over the place about 25 years ago, but has been less common in recent years. It seems the trend has been making something of a comeback, and reception to the Cipher series has been very positive. Hopefully that means we'll see a lot more of these Cipher designs in the future!
