Video game console maker Microsoft announced today that they will be releasing a range of chrome Xbox controllers. The controllers will be made available in blue, red and silver, and also feature the transforming D-pad.
“With a D-pad that transforms from a plus to a disc, the Wireless Controller provides ultimate precision, accuracy, and control for both directional and sweeping movements,” Xbox wrote on their website.
The previous controller to be released with the transforming D-pad was only available as a special edition matte silver colour with a unique button design.
“The controllers will have an estimated retail price of US $54.99 (approx. R400) each and will be available mid-May. Colour availability will vary by region, so please check your local retailer for specific information or visit xbox.com/accessories for more details,” wrote Larry Hryb, Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson on his blog.
