The Xbox 360 Controller Is Coming Back For Its 17th Birthday
"The Xenon—as in the sci-fi codename the 360 had back in 2005 when it was still just whispers—appears to be an accurate recreation. It features the original’s simple slopes and button placements, basically begging to be coated in Flamin’ Hot Cheeto dirt. Xenon will, however, also be studded in the contemporary features you’re probably now used to having, like Menu, View, and Share options, and a headphone jack. It’s also an officially licensed Microsoft product, so you won’t be receiving a back-alley knockoff.
