Xbox One Wireless Controller in Phantom Magenta brings the purple passion
Microsoft’s Phantom line of Xbox controllers are among my favorite Xbox accessories. The hypnotic translucent gradient stylings of the previous Phantom Black controller made it, for me, the sexiest Xbox controller ever made, and I seriously wish they’d make a full Xbox console out of this material.
Following up on the Phantom Black and Phantom White controllers, Microsoft has now produced the all-new Phantom Magenta controller, which is currently available for preorder, with an expected release date of March 17, 2020.
We’ve been lucky enough to get an early sample of this mauve mistress, and we’re bringing you some sexy high-res shots.
The sticks, triggers, back, and bumpers maintain a consistent darker mauve tone, with the brighter magenta dominating the top end of the gradient down.
The d-pad has a shiny, metallic finish, which adds a nice bit of flair. It carries the light in opposition to the gradient, which gives the overall finish a nice bit of depth.
Simply put, the controller is a stunner all around. It has all the standard features, including micro-USB connectivity, Bluetooth for PCs and phones, the proprietary Xbox wireless signal for consoles and compatible dongles and laptops, and two AA batteries inside the box.
The Phantom Magenta Xbox controller is available for preorder now, with an expected launch on March 17, 2020.
