Overview

The Xbox Wireless Controller Sky Cipher Special Edition delivers the proven ergonomics and functionality of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller wrapped in a striking transparent blue shell. The see-through housing reveals silver-colored internals and metal details, giving the controller a unique aesthetic that stands out on a desk or in a collection. Sky blue rubberized grips on the back case provide extra traction during gameplay, while the matching metallic sky blue triggers add a tactile premium feel to every press.

Under the visual upgrades, this is the same dependable Xbox Wireless Controller platform. It connects to Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One consoles via the low-latency Xbox Wireless protocol, and pairs with Windows PCs, phones, and tablets over Bluetooth. The Xbox Accessories app lets you remap buttons, adjust stick sensitivity, and save custom profiles. A 3.5mm headset jack on the bottom supports direct audio output. The controller ships with AA batteries, so users who prefer rechargeable power will need to pick up a separate battery pack or USB-C play-and-charge kit.
