Microsoft announced a new color variant of its Xbox core controller. This transparent shell reveals the innards of this tried and true controller. It’s reminiscent of the days of the clear craze of the 90s. I’m still waiting on Atomic Purple to see the light of day again, but for now, this Sky Cipher Blue will do.
