Microsoft says the design on the Gold Shadow Xbox Wireless Controller is an “homage to Xbox One’s fan-favorite Shadow series designs.” It sports a “sophisticated” gold-to-black metallic finish on the top case alongside a golden D-Pad while the rest of the controller is covered in carbon black. “This controller is a statement piece, perfectly suited to be your new favorite, and the crowning gem of any collection.”
The metallic gold hybrid D-Pad provides a smooth touch for your thumb to expertly glide on. The rubberized black diamond patterned side grips and textured grip on the triggers, bumpers and back case provide that extra support needed to stay in control of high-pressure gaming moments.
