Celebrate 20 years of Xbox with the Xbox Wireless Controller – 20th Anniversary Special Edition in classic black with green touches that go back to the beginning, and so much more. Travel through time with the green and translucent black controller colours to the moment the original, translucent green Xbox console launched. Look through the translucent black top to see interior silver details representing 20 years of Xbox technology carried forward.

Harkening back to when the first green X burst through a black field—the iconic, green Xbox button, D-pad highlights, and back grips celebrate the beginning while looking forward. Get up to 40 hours of battery life.

Make the controller your own by customising button mapping with the Xbox Accessories app. Seamlessly capture and share content with the Share button and plug in any compatible headset with the 3.5mm audio headset jack.

Stay on target with a hybrid D-pad, textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and back-case. Connect using the USB-C port for direct plug and play to console and PC. Support for AA batteries is included on the rear. Includes Xbox Wireless & Bluetooth technology for wireless gaming on supported consoles, Windows PCs, Android, iOS phones and tablets.

Xbox play and charge it works and it’s £19.99. It’s just difficult to find them at the moment (edited)

Thanks. They had stock local to me so I picked one up. Dover and WWX for those interested!

Gorgeous controller - looks and works like a charm with my Windows 10/11 setups

Just make sure you get the latest BT drivers for your mobo and stay up to date with the controller firmware on the Xbox Accessories app - free in the MS Store.

Heated OP!

Just get it used and get some enjoyment out of it. Won’t be worth that much in the future. I use both of my limited editions plus this which was even more limited.

So if a packet of crisps costs 70p for a week, and isn't reduced anywhere else it's a deal? I mean from some of the comments on here people are actually collecting these without using them, so if you are just fulfilling a compulsion then that's obviously up to individuals, but there is precisely zero deal here. I'm still angry at myself for paying full price last month from Microsoft.

Never liked controllers but having played with both the PS4 is so much better, just the idea of control sticks small and difficult location should have made me avoid this.

Eh? The Xbox controller is one of the most comfortable out there. You can buy rechargeable batteries and the good thing is if they run out while gaming you just put some new ones in and off you go. There is also less that can go wrong due to the battery not being built into it.

Textured rubber grip on the underside, makes a big difference for me, just feels so much nicer, although the grip on the Forza one is on a larger area and arguably nicer, there is a noticeable weight difference too, so internally there is something different I assume... both Forza and this weight in for me at 295/298 - and my standard weighs in at 241. I checked weight because I could not work out if id just convinced myself they weighed different. They just feel much nicer to use in the hand. (edited)

Yep, yep - straight through your BT. A BT dongle is available, sold separately, but I'm guessing that's for users without onboard BT.

Absolutely no issues with games on any launcher I've tried so far; Steam, Epic, Bethesda, Ubi, GoG or Origin. (edited)

Thank you. I really liked this when I first saw it and missed out.
Definitely wasn’t going to pay extra so I’m glad I managed to order one. (Glasgow area). Thanks OP.

The popularity of the Xbox controller with PC gamers tells you all you need to know. Nice try!

Are the Forza ones ever in stock anywhere? (edited)

I try not to be a this isn't a deal people, but I can't see any actual deal here, it's the same price as it was in December, just before Xmas. The sticks have held up, but it's already got button rattle. Have I missed something? Is there a code?

I needed to get my Daughter one for Christmas! And after a struggle, I managed to do it 3 days before Christmas. I've been wanting one for myself ever since and not been able to. So appreciate it this.

Check the front of the box with a UV light, nice little nudge back to the original days.

It’s got additional grip (textured rubber) read the comments it’s apparently a bit weightier.

Good looking controller but £60 is pretty overpriced.
Not including a rechargeable battery pack is shear greed on MS's part. Not to mention not every environmentally friends since they include 2 non rechargable AAs which go on the battery bank after 20 hours or so.
Feel of these controllers is decent but the buttons are cheap and require very definitive pressing to ensure consistency. Analogue sticks and triggers aren't too bad.
Compared to the dualsense, these are lacking in any new gen features, and actually its pretty embarrassing they charge so much for these.

Beautiful controller. Very tactile.

MS must be pinching themselves how they get people to spend so much on ugly controllers for them to never actually use them.

Absolute insanity. They’ll never be worth anything.

True, to be worth anything they'd have to stick the Nintendo logo on the box!

I've never used a PS4 as a controller, I'm not even sure it's possible. Is it some kind of mod to make it work on the Xbox? But even then, wouldn't the case just make it really clunky since it's like 2kg+?
