Both controllers feature striking Geralt of Rivia-inspired designs, complete with the iconic wolf medallion etched into the center. They also showcase Glagolitic script, the oldest known Slavic alphabet used in the game itself. A distinctive touch is the red claw marks on the right grip, representing the "III" from the game's title.
Beyond their Witcher-themed aesthetics, these controllers maintain the high-quality performance of their standard counterparts. The regular Xbox controller is renowned for its comfortable grip and durability, making it a top choice for gamers, including myself and my kids who put it through rigorous play sessions.
The Elite Series 2 version comes with enhanced features to justify its higher price point. It includes adjustable-tension thumbsticks, hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. Additionally, it offers interchangeable components such as various thumbstick heights, different D-pad designs, and customizable rear paddles.
These new controllers are compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android devices, ensuring versatility across multiple platforms.
