CORRECTION - I mention that xbox hasn't released controllers like this before which is a mistake. They have previously released 'Lunar shift' and 'Aqua shift' before which follow the same style as this 'Stellar shift' controller but for some reason I wasn't aware of them until after I released this video.
I don't mind the grey underside. It's possible (although I hope not) that the finish isn't as durable and that's why it's not on the bottom. But it could also just be for a bit of visual contrast. Anyway, I have ordered one and it will be my first special edition controller since the Xbox One Day One Edition Controller from 2013 - still works perfect too!
Just bought one...waiting for D4 to finish downloading...love the design...agree with you on the wrap around design...and even a black back would've been better...always thought a horizontal wheel button specifically for strafing
Great video! It's a beauty! I pre-ordered this controller on the February 13th, because the release date of this controller is on the February 21st in my country. According to my experience,the XBOX's Special Edition Controller is a real limited version controller in my country, because the previous limited version controllers were out of stock for a long time soon after the release, such as 'Lunar shift' and 'Aqua shift' ... it 's difficult to buy them. The global business strategy of Xbox is really lagging behind.😂
Roughly a year later I finally ordered this controller here in Germany. 😉 It's freaking almost sold out by now and I really hope the dealer's not faking and is still shipping it for the discount price of only 53 €!
Great video, gives a really nice look at the controller! You mention that the color shifting is something new that we haven't seen from XBOX, that is not accurate. This is the third different color in their "Shift" line of controllers, all of which have this color shifting iridescent look. The first was Lunar Shift, then came Aqua Shift. They also all have that same swirly pattern on the rubber grip.
@@BarbsterFilms Absolutely no worries! It was just a minor thing I though I would point out. I will say that the other two have a more muted shift, the two colors are more similar than this one.
Just got this controller today it looks so beautiful in person love it my only problem with it is that it only has side grips , my design lab controllers always have side and back grips idk why they didn’t put rubberized grips on the whole back instead of just the side it would’ve been 10/10 for me with both side and back grips but with just the side grips I’ll give it an 8/10 cuz they could’ve just gave the whole back of the controller rubber grips but it’s only rubber on the side not back
Lovely piece of tech as an owner of PlayStation and Xbox I love the controller of the ps5 but I prefer the Xbox controller most great video again very well presented again keep them coming well done
I am looking for a good Controller for my PC. i play PC games on steam is this a good option? also can i play wired? or only wireless? If i do, what cable do i need? thanks very much for the help
I don't get why mentioning it's wireless is a thing because everyone knows and expects that. But yeah absolutely love this design and color. Purple/blue hues like this are one of my favorite things ever. I was sad I missed out on the Aqua Shift controller but this is way better
The grip does help keep the controller from sliding around so much and them slipping so easily is how I dropped mine. Got bad drift on the left thumbstick and my girlfriend surprised me with this one today! It feels better in he hand overall. The d pad feels better and the bumpers and triggers transition nicely so it's more comfortable then the last gen. The capture button is an awesome addition if you like making clips! Go for it my dude
Only £42 in the uk if you buy it from the Italy xbox store website if you use a fee free card like chase, The irony is that even if you bought it from the UK xbox site it still comes from the same EU warehouse,
I just got this controller today and I am wondering if its normal that I need to press the Xbox logo a bit harder to turn on the controller even if the button is already depressed the controller does not turn on unless extra force is added.
Does this not have a built in mic yet? Anyone know why not? I mean my 7 year old Nvidia shield controller has one which is so nice to user voice while using CZcams and stuff. Any options ? Just recently got a series x ... Frustrated by this
Got this controller for the polyatomic grind in mw2, don't judge me, I like controllers that represent the general color scheme of the camo I'm grinding :)
I am now debating whether I should cancel my amazon pre order of Xbox Remix Green Controller cost me $89 cdn (100 with tax or $74 USD) or this Steller Shift one which is $69 cdn (78 with tax or $58 USD)
I put in rechargeable AA batteries and the controller doesn't charge them (you have to change them via an actual AA charger). If you want to keep the controller changed and not have to take out the batteries each time to charge them then I'd recommend getting an actual xbox rechargeable battery which I show at 2:42
I just bought it. I expect to have it six months and then it will break like the other two that broke six months apart from each other previously. Xbox controllers are garbage these days. And I treat everything perfectly electronic wise so it’s not being bashed around.

I got the Lunar Shift for Christmas. I think this is the only one with the exclusive background though
Yes this back is amazing didn't know it had all these area 51 features lmao great video thanks
Nice controller wish the console the series x n s with a themed console like this maybe.??
Calling it: Next one will be red and orange colors and named “Solar Shift.”
Yes Microsoft hast no ideas, and i Takes 1 year for them to design this Things and bring them Out
Now that is one i'd love to see 🔥
Would buy that in a jiffy
I had no idea that the controller came with a theme for the home screen.Thank you.

Can confirm its not as durable the paint wore off one of my older ones just from excessive use so literally just rubbing off on my hands
Your videos are PHENOMENAL quality for 7k subs.
Liked and subbed
Just got one for my birthday. Should be arriving via mail tomorrow! It has my 2 favorite colors and it shifts! Looks friggin stunning 👍🏻
I'm actually going out to buy one of these controllers today. I love the design.
That's awesome, you'll love it!!
Target has them $69

Ordered one from Amazon for CAD$79 for PC gaming; just had to watch this video first. :) Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review! This is awesome! My husband just got me this as a birthday present, I love it
Just bought this controller, I’m hyped! Nice review man.
I love your setup with the consoles on either side of the tv

this is my fav color!
This controller has the best colouration of the new xbox series X|S controllers
Great video, gives a really nice look at the controller!

Would love to see a rainbow shift
im buying now
Can you give review for your benq 32 inch review again after 4 years?
I won't do a full review about it... but I still use it to this day which means I still really like it and haven't been tempted by anything else yet!
I really love the look of it, I'm really itching to get one.

Me too
I actually have the same exact controller
Have it... love it
I love mine but bit of a scratch and fingerprint magnet on front but loveing it so far and love the rubber grips on back to
I'm gonna get it for my birthday! I already own 6 controllers.. I'm itching to buy 4 more to complete my collection of 10! I'll wait. 😂
Lovely piece of tech as an owner of PlayStation and Xbox I love the controller of the ps5 but I prefer the Xbox controller most great video again very well presented again keep them coming well done
Just ordered this! Can I use my existing Microsoft USB donger (PC) for this? I also have a Bluetooth donger which I bought for my PS5 controller.
I'll definitely drop a "cheeky like!"" 😂
Aqua Shift Special Edition just got pulled not long ago so sure this will last a yr or so. I missed that one could had it for 55 on sell
Kind of wish the Y, X, A, and B buttons were blue but meh... I still bought it and received it from Amazon just yesterday.
I am looking for a good Controller for my PC. i play PC games on steam
is this a good option? also can i play wired? or only wireless? If i do, what cable do i need? thanks very much for the help
Now the middle with the share button looks at you like this -> 😐
HAHA it does!!
I don't get why mentioning it's wireless is a thing because everyone knows and expects that. But yeah absolutely love this design and color. Purple/blue hues like this are one of my favorite things ever. I was sad I missed out on the Aqua Shift controller but this is way better
How does it compare to the normal Series S/X controllers? Do the rubberised grips have any give?
It's holding up really well with no marks or anything after using it a lot! And there isn't any give in the grips :)
The grip does help keep the controller from sliding around so much and them slipping so easily is how I dropped mine. Got bad drift on the left thumbstick and my girlfriend surprised me with this one today! It feels better in he hand overall.

can you link official video from xbox ? i really want to know when new controllers come out and i can never get news....
What about the face buttons responsiveness? Do i still need to press exactly in the middle to make them work or any slightly press will do it? Thanks!
Does the dynamic background stay with your account if you reset your xbox or controller breaks?
Didn’t know they didn’t launch trailer
Only £42 in the uk if you buy it from the Italy xbox store website if you use a fee free card like chase,
The irony is that even if you bought it from the UK xbox site it still comes from the same EU warehouse,

why those changeable bateries, maaaan
They should do a black and irange one and call it lava shift
that would be a really cool design!
I have the Aqua Shift. Is this really any different?
How’s the grips on it ?
Does this not have a built in mic yet? Anyone know why not? I mean my 7 year old Nvidia shield controller has one which is so nice to user voice while using CZcams and stuff. Any options ? Just recently got a series x ... Frustrated by this
Does the joystick drift.
is this compatible with the dongle?
What’s the name of the game @3:35 ?
That was Hot Wheels Unleashed which is on Game Pass :)
Can you change the color in the middle which is the Xbox x ? On elites you could do it ?
no unfortunately you can't do that on this controller
Got this controller for the polyatomic grind in mw2, don't judge me, I like controllers that represent the general color scheme of the camo I'm grinding :)
They worth it ?
I am now debating whether I should cancel my amazon pre order of Xbox Remix Green Controller cost me $89 cdn (100 with tax or $74 USD) or this Steller Shift one which is $69 cdn (78 with tax or $58 USD)
lmao i just bought both
😍😍😍
it's a beauty!
Is the finish metallic? Thanks
it's sort of a matt finish metallic, it's not like a shiny chrome metallic! Hope that makes sense!?
I went hard on that controller bc i play hard
i bet u can't play bloxfruit to max lv. 2450
Can you recharge the pad with normal batteries ?
Or you have to buy new
I put in rechargeable AA batteries and the controller doesn't charge them (you have to change them via an actual AA charger). If you want to keep the controller changed and not have to take out the batteries each time to charge them then I'd recommend getting an actual xbox rechargeable battery which I show at 2:42

No usb c cable.An oversight and deal breaker for me.Turtle Beach version comes with a cable.So its Turtle Beach then.
