when it comes to the settings one company that's been absolutely killing it lately with their special edition controllers and systems is Microsoft Microsoft making it easy yeah they've been releasing a lot of very different and very cool Xbox one controllers so many so that we've actually been amassing a bit of a collection now we actually show pasted recently in a set of video which if you haven't seen make sure to go check out and you guys loved it this guy right here and if you curious how we set this guy up a lot of people learning what hooks we used we actually the link down below the description this video if you want to check those out but I thought I'd take the opportunity to go over some of my favorite controllers out of this whole collection and if there's any controllers you guys love make sure to let us know down in the comments first off is the Minecraft Pig edition controller admittedly this isn't one of the ones that I love for just pure aesthetics it's more the novelty of it and what it kind of represents from Microsoft because this is one of the first controllers they released where they really started toying with having more kind of fanservice he designs they had special edition controllers before but they were always over the top with just designs everywhere and stuff plastered all over and some of those were cool-looking but there's a lot about this design that's just fun especially if you enjoy the franchise I mean first off it is just a peg face on a controller which is kind of cute but it has a curlicue tail on the back of it and even on the inside of the battery case is a little carrot there's just a lot of little things that go on with this controller that's just very fun and concept and I just think it shows a real love for what you're designing instead of just like oh we have to make a thing that seemed after this throw stuff on it next up is control that I do love the look of and that's the volcano shadow controller the shadow series is probably one of my favorite lines that Microsoft has done for their controllers because their controllers that look great but it's a very simple design as well it's not using a lot of symbols or income designs instead it's just having a color that fades to black but also has this kind of iridescent sheen to it that looks really nice a close runner-up to this guy is the ocean shadow which has this very deep blue but I love the way the kind of orangish red comes across in the volcano and creates a contrast with the black especially on the buttons I mean the fade right here is great but then when you have that little bit of extra orange coming out at the top I just love the look of this guy and this is actually kind of my I guess you could say daily driver for Xbox this is the main one I use whenever I'm playing my xbox one at the office or even at home then we have the sea of thieves edition controller now I know we said earlier with the Minecraft one that I don't like when special additions to have way too much stuff going on and thrown on them which you would think it might be the case with this one but honestly I think a lot of thought went into design this guy and there's a whole lot of stuff that all plays into the theme really well which I appreciate first off this one is one of the controllers that has edgings on it and in this case it's kind of meant to be like wood rot or barnacles and a hole of a ship which is super awesome just like when I kept on we do have a design on the back of the battery case which is the narwhals crossing their horns one detail that I think a lot of people miss on this controller which is really neat is that around the analog stick is actually a compass design and then of course you have the logo in the middle which is by itself just an awesome icon for the series and while all this together with the color choices makes for a great looking controller I think by far one of the best details of the fact that all of this kind of greenish spray teal over it is actually glow-in-the-dark which is super super cool next I'm gonna cheat a little bit because this is exactly a standard or traditional Xbox one controller but it does work for the system so it counts and that's the newly released versions of the do controller these guys were licensed by Microsoft have made by a company called high Perkin and I'm personally always a fool for anything that's kind of a mixture of retro gaming tech brought into modern day and new stuff and that's exactly what this is this is a remake of the old school duke controllers which were the original controllers for the original Xbox and they were kind of infamous for being gigantic and not super comfortable it worked out for some people but most hated it so they actually even replaced it with a smaller design but I love the idea of bringing that back and using it on the Xbox one so this guy will hook into the system you can also use it with PC and it has been adapted a little bit to work better for modern systems the black and white button just do the same thing as the left and right bumpers but they also added left to right bumpers which are still pretty uncomfortable to reach for but it's just awesome one of the coolest little things about it though is that normally right here would just be the Xbox logo but this design it's actually a little animation which is the old Xbox start up which looks super awesome it's just a great little attention to detail and once again it just fuses that retro love with a new controller it's just off to actually use and then we have one of the newest controllers revealed by Microsoft which actually isn't even out yet they sent this to me ahead of time and that's the sport white controller this one is very similar to design to another series they have called the tech series controllers withdrawal military-themed but it's a bit different it doesn't have some of the same little extra bits those have those have edgings on the grips and external symbols in the middle honestly I'm totally fine not having those and just keeping some of the aesthetic benefits which is this design right here in little silver trim and just overall the color scheme of this guy looks so clean and nice I love the silver and kind of great aesthetics for the sticks and d-pad the white with the gray and silver right here and then this teal on the back just plays well with all of it together making just a super crisp looking design you know normally I'm not a huge fan of super-bright controller designs like this I mean as you can tell pretty much everything else I listed was very dark but just the color combination everything with this plus the silver just works so well together
