    This Halo theme is pretty hot. A must buy if you are a halo fan. I have both Master Chief and Spartan Lock controller to complete my collection. Get it while it is still around...the gun metal gray with the blue highlights looks great on the controller. Looks amazing when you have it next to you in your hands.

    Super cool controller. The only difference between this and the regular ones is the design. The time to get them is on Black Friday, I got mine for $35. I love the design, as it curves around most of the controller, very high quality, and has held up well with moderate usage over the past few months.

    Love The Colors

    These are beautiful works of art. The limited edition Halo 5 controllers come in both Guardians and Spartan colors. Not being partial to green, the grey/chrome blue look of the Guardians controller drew me in. I already have a Titanfall controller, and the Guardians one is the next to fill in my player two. Compared to a regular controller, the limited edition is dimensionally pretty much exactly the same. The handling is no different, the sticks and buttons all operate the same when I'm playing games, so there is nothing to 'adapt' to. The finish is great, and covered in a thin layer of satin to prevent undue wear over time of the outer design. There are two strange glossy rectangles on the bottom of the unit on the handle grips, not sure what they're for. Potentially for setting down the controller? Considering the current cost of XBox One controllers right now, you may as well just splurge a little to pick up one of these 'limited' controllers, they attract a LOT of attention and just look amazing.

    As a mom of multiple teenagers it was a big win for each of them to have their own color controller. In the past they were all black and there was always fighting over whose controller was lost or whose was the one with the dead batteries. Something as simple as fun patterns has made a big difference!

    New Controller Design and Custom Style

    I was able to obtain this as an open box item, so it was missing the Req pack that you get for Halo 5. However, I bought it more or less cause of the color scheme and design. Very sleek looking, the Silver/Gray combed with Holographic Blue accents look sharp. They also added little colored waypoint markers for the A,B,X,Y buttons. This is the new controller design with the 3.5mm jack. I have yet to test it, as I don't have a full 3.5 headset to use with the controller, though having the option is very nice to have. One thing not mentioned in the product though is how they redesigned the molding around the LB and RB bumper buttons. The plastic of the controller doesn't come up as high on them, giving you an easier reach and pull on the buttons for input. I found this to be awesome as I find myself hitting quite a bit more than I used to on the older controller model. Excellent purchase, will definitely consider another new designed controller should my original one ever fail completely.

    Works just like the regular controller. I like the look of it and the feel is great. The different color helps me know which controller is mine compared to my boys' controllers. If you like the original controller but want one with a different look then this your next controller.

    As all Xbox One controllers, this one has that unique feel that makes you want to keep gaming. The design for this one is what sets it apart from the normal black controller, it's even better in person. However, the the lack of a plug and play would be the only downfall of this product

    Needed another controller for local multi-player like fifa and madden and dug the blue camo. It's not obnoxious and doesn't stand out but still has a cool design feature, as for how it works, it's a controller and does what it's supposed to, no issues there. Hopefully it lasts longer than my tittanfall controller whose right bumper failed and there's only a 90 day warranty on accessories and MSoft will be a sticker about that - may want to consider the BB warranty if you play a lot.

    This controller has worked perfectly, has a better feel than the free black one that comes with the Xbox, and the joysticks don't have that squeaky rubbing that some controllers have. It also has a headphone jack that lets you listen to the game on headphone rather than the TV

    The functions are the same as the original controller for those who weren't sure. I really like the theme of the controller as it matches well with the Halo edition console. The silver and candy blue look great and sets it apart from any other Xbox One controller.

    Better than I expected as I found the feel and colors to just be amazing. The design isn't just a nice patter but it helps from having to readjust grip while playing games. Alone or with the Guardians Console, this would be a nice addition to your playing arsenal.

    This controller is was just what we were looking for! The look, the color and the feel is perfect. There is almost no slipping out of your hand and I like the fact that it fits into our wireless controller charger. It has hours of power once fully charged too!

    This is a rock solid controller and I really love the new headphone jack that they've added on the newer version of the xbox one controllers. The paint job on the Halo controller is high quality and the small details of the symbols on the side are very cool.

    Seeing as it is a Microsoft controller you know you're going to get a quality product and it will last a long time. The fact that it is blue camouflage just makes it cooler. This is an amazing choice for someone who wants to stand out from the black controller crowd.

    Very great stylized remote

    As with any brand new remote it feels responsive and sturdy. Aside from the aesthetics it is identical to the standard xbox one remotes. But the main reason you'd opt for the model over the standard remote is the aesthetics. At a slightly higher price point than traditional xbone remotes it is worth the buy? IMO, yes. Whether you're a Halo fan or not the color scheme and decals on this remote are outstanding. Visually it stands out from the rest and the blue/grey color scheme work well together. In the past with repainted controllers the outer layer can tend to flake and dirt/grime is much more visible. That is not the case with this model (yet). As an added bonus, if you do own Halo 5, you can redeem a code for an exclusive req pack that comes inside the box. Very happy with this purchase. There just aren't first party remotes that look as great as this one.

    I like the controller not only for the design, but the weight it has to it. Its a little heavier than the original xbox one controllers, which is nice. Doesnt feel flimsy like the old ones. Also has the 3.5mm headphone jack built into the controller!!

    I bought this controller because of its unique pattern and color. I am very satisfied with the design and performance of this controller. This first one I purchased did have an issue with a loose trigger, but the replacement worked just fine. Unfortunately , Xbox has added a 3.5 mm jack to the newer controllers but if you have the converter, this one works just fine.
