Aqua Shift Controller | Design
The new special edition controller almost comes as a surprise since Microsoft’s decision to relaunch the Xbox Design Lab in June this year (after being shut down in 2020). The Design Lab allows users to customize their own controllers with a multitude of colors along with a variety of personalization options. So, while the new Aqua Shift controller is undeniably a great addition, the news of such special edition controllers still comes off as a surprise element given the presence of the customizable service of Design Lab. Now, coming to the design of the recently announced Xbox series X/S controller, we won’t lie but the special edition Aqua Shift does seem to have that surreal effect to it as stated by the brand. The blue shade along with a color-shifting shimmer justifies the water theme as indicated in the controller’s name. The new Aqua Shift is also the first special edition controller among the Xbox X/S family that features rubberized side grips for a better handle and improved tactile experience. These rubberized grips also sport a dual-color swirl that is unique to every unit of the special edition Aqua Shift controller. Furthermore, the controller comes with a textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and the back-case that not only allows for an overall better gaming experience but also adds to the Aqua Shift’s distinctive features.
