The aesthetic of these controllers is truly captivating, featuring intricate Geralt of Rivia-inspired etchings. Central to the design is the wolf medallion that Geralt wears, etched into the controller's center. Additionally, the controllers incorporate Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet used in the game, enhancing their thematic appeal. The right grip showcases the iconic red claw marks that symbolize the "III" in the game's title, making for a visually striking design.

Beyond their Witcher-themed aesthetics, these controllers maintain the high standards of their standard counterparts. The current Xbox controller is widely regarded as one of the best ever made, offering a comfortable grip and durability that can withstand rigorous use—even by my kids.

The Elite Series 2 model offers additional premium features to justify its higher price point. These include adjustable-tension thumbsticks, hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. It also comes with interchangeable components such as thumbsticks of various heights, different D-pad designs, and customizable rear paddles, allowing for a tailored gaming experience.

These new controllers are compatible with a wide range of devices, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. If you're not solely an Xbox user, you might also be interested in the newly announced Death Stranding 2-themed PS5 controller, which is now available for preorder.
