Microsoft - Xbox One Special Edition Dusk Shadow Wireless Controller - Faded blue metallic

Was eyeing this for a really long time and immediately grabbed it when it went on sale for $50 a couple of weeks ago. This controller is pretty much your normal XBOX One (2016 edition) controller, but with a Gears of War twist. Like the normal XBOX One (2016 edition) controller....this Gears of War Controller does have a headphone jack at the bottom of it and has a slight gripping texture on the back of it. Although, I should note that the normal XBOX One controllers feature just a smidge more of the textured gripping on the back of them than this Gears of War Controller does.......but it's hardly noticeable. The design is something that you never get tired of looking at because of how unique it is....the chainsaw marks are actually engraved on the controller.....how awesome is that?!

Having purchased the Master Chief Halo 5 Controller, I also decided to get the other Halo 5 limited edition controller. The Halo 5 special edition controller is essentially a regular XBOX One controller but with a color and design scheme that reflects Spartan Locke's blue visor and silver armor with various emblems probably denoting Fireteam OSIRIS on the right side and UNSC marking on the top left by the left joystick. On the Left side are the numbers denoting Blue Team (Master Chief). The cross pad is blue chrome and the controller has blue chrome highlights. Blue is the color of Spartan Locke's visor as mentioned earlier. Other than that, it is a regular XBOX One controller in function. This is recommended for HALO fans as a collectors item.

I bought this controller for 2 reasons, having an extra controller for when friends come over and having an Xbox One controller for my PC. The controller itself performs just like any other with the added blue and black camouflage. However on my model there seems to be an issue with the right trigger. On a perfect controller when the triggers bottom out it feels as if they have a hit a nice rubber or foam stopper, however on mine the right trigger seems to be lacking that stopper so it makes a loud audible click as well as making the button bottom out harder making it uncomfortable during FPS games. I'm sure that my model is a just a fluke since I haven't seen anyone else talking about the issue. The controller still does what it does and that is play games so I have no complaints that way. However there is one more thing that bothers me and that is the lack of a pre installed rechargeable battery pack like that on the PS4 and older Xbox 360. The play and charge kit by itself is another 24.99, not justifiable and to get a controller with the play and charge kit included it's like $80 bucks. These are my only pet peeves with the controller otherwise it is pretty much perfect and a definite improvement over the 360 controller.

This contrroller is 100% compatible with the XO Seven pro headset. You don't need the adapter. The headset will plug directly into this controller and all features work including talk back. The controller is comfortable to hold and use. Also when you first connect you will be asked to update the controller. You don't need to plug it in since it will update via wirelessly. This is a nice feature. The controller also includes 2 AA batteries.

Looks amazing, with improved functionality. This controller features a headphone jack for game audio; no need to buy an adapter. It also has "etched" claw marks and the lettered buttons are "carved" in. It's a deep burgundy; pictures cannot do it justice. This new controller has a new textured for grip on the underside too.

I picked this controller for the cool Halo theme. Quite frankly it's beautiful. It also comes with the jack for the headphones so I can plug in my headset. I wasn't aware that it came with a code for halo freebies, plus it was 10 dollars cheaper than the other controllers when I bought it. Great buy.

Husband sent me to the store to get a new controller. I was limited on the color options for a wireless but I felt the blue had the most appeal. Still love the color, works just as well as any other wireless controller.

I waited for awhile to buy this item because I loved the color of this particular controller. I works well and even though i don't play games as much as some. it works well for me.
