Official Minecraft-themed Xbox controller announced
Over the years, Minecraft has collaborated with many companies to bring out some exciting products. Collaborations like these are always interesting, especially when they bring out products that can be used with the game. And now all the players who like such ventures are in luck once again.
The popular gaming accessories maker, PDP Gaming, has partnered with Mojang Studios to bring out a unique Xbox controller that works with both the console and PC.
Here’s everything about the Diamond Print wireless controller called REALMz, and how players can get their hands on it. Apart from the device, those who get it will also receive an exclusive digital code for an in-game item in Minecraft.
Official Minecraft-themed Xbox controller coming to market
Diamond is one of the most sought-after items in the game. Players need to mine quite a lot to get it. So, it makes sense that PDP Gaming would use this item as the theme for the new device.
The wireless controller, named REALMz Diamond Print, features many motifs from the game. These include a silhouette of the creeper mob, Steve wearing a full diamond armor set, and some other interesting artwork all over.
The REALMz Diamond Print controller is priced at $79.99. It is compatible with Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and 11 PC. The controller is now available for pre-order.
The designers have tastefully used the classic blue color of the diamond in Minecraft and added it to the buttons and the joysticks. This gives the controller a popping appearance. The device is also made using see-through, transparent plastic, which adds a glass-like appearance. However, it is likely that some players may find the design too loud.
PDP Gaming has come up with many other controllers with different themes. However, this one stands out with its transparent diamond design. What’s even better is that it comes with an in-built rechargeable battery, unlike the official controller for the Xbox that uses AA batteries.
Rechargeable controllers allow players to just charge them up when the juice runs low instead of changing the batteries every few days. This feature could make this device a great choice for many players.
Some of the salient features include a headphone jack, LED lighting, and a USB-A transmitter for connectivity. Also, players will get an exclusive code for the Time Flies Digital Tee that can be used in the character creator menu.
