I’m trying to identify what special edition this Xbox controller is but I’m struggling to find any info online that matches it.
It is grey and red with metallic red d-pad and triggers and has “you died” printed in the centre at the bottom. Initially that made me think it was some kind of dark souls related edition but searching those words just brings me up endless threads of people having issues with using a controller and the game.
I’ve scrolled through lists and lists of pictures of special editions and can’t seem to find the right one, so does anyone have any insight into what this may be?
Maybe it is one someone has had made for themselves as I found it in a charity shop but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.
Any help appreciated!

Are you sure it isn’t a custom designed one? It took 15 seconds to mock up basically the same thing here: …xbox.com/…/xbox-wireless-controller

That website was really tempting… until I remembered that these run on AA batteries and don’t have gyro or a touchpad. M$ really selling an 85$ controller without the features of the 50$ ps5 controller

Its actually a plus for me. I don’t want to use proprietary batteries and rather use standard AA sized (rechargable) batteries. They can be charged with any battery charger, you can have multiple of them and each pair lasts much longer than any builtin battery. I agree on the other parts for missing gyro and price though.

Yeah I was also surprised to hear ps5 controllers went up in price. It made me sad

I think I paid 40USD for both of my Dualsense controllers, but both on a heady sale.

That is you for the info, I just presumed it wasn’t custom as it looked too well done and I wasn’t aware of this service. Thanks so much for the reply!
