With The Mandalorian Season Two premiering on Disney Plus in just a few days, Microsoft is honoring the occasion with a Beskar-infused Xbox controller design, available for pre-order now.
The special edition Mandalorian Wireless Xbox Controller & Xbox Pro Charging Stand Set retails for $170 / £170. That's $70 / £75 more than you'd spend on a standard controller and charging stand. You can order it now, but prepare for a wait: its current release date is December 31, 2020, which means it won't quite ship in time for the holidays.

Featuring a battle-scarred silver and gray pattern, two signets of the Mythosaur and the Mudhorn (one for each grip), and a Mandalorian helmet on the charging stand, this controller is designed for dedicated fans of the show.
Unfortunately, it has the same physical configuration as the current-gen Xbox One controllers. You won't find some of the ergonomic and feature improvements of the Series X controllers: tactile texture on triggers and grips, more compact bumpers and triggers, a new Share button and a hybrid D-pad.
Yet for gamers that are perfectly happy with the current Xbox Wireless Controller design, this Mandalore-themed controller is undoubtedly an amazing purchase for Star Wars lovers, and is sure to become a coveted collector's item.
