The Purple Phantom of Your Console: Microsoft Xbox One Phantom Magenta Wireless Gamepad Review

Company Microsoft Launches a wide variety of accessories for its Xbox One console. Separately, it is worth noting the huge number of color schemes of gamepads, which cannot but please collectors. Today we will pay attention to the usual wireless controller for the console Xbox one (and PC), but in a new look – Phantom magenta.

The price in Russia is about the same as for the regular version of the controller – 4990 rubles.

The gamepad comes in standard Microsoft light green cardboard packaging, where it lies in a special niche that additionally protects the device during transportation.

Inside, in addition to the controller itself, there are a pair of batteries, instructions, warranty conditions, as well as a code for a 14-day subscription usage period Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

This version of the device is included in the line of colors Phantom. It is characterized by the use of translucent plastic in the upper half of the case with a smooth transition into the usual matte finish in the lower. Previously, the gamepads in this series were presented in two colors: white and black. Phantom Magenta is made in maroon color, which will please fans of custom colors.

The transition effect and texture of the case along with deep color look chic. The joystick feels like an expensive device that is nice to hold in your hands.

Comparing the Phantom Magenta with a standard gamepad, we can note a slightly smoother plastic texture, the back of the case, partially devoid of embossed points, which should provide better grip on the device, as well as the fact that the cross button is now matte.

In addition, the letters on the main buttons are not colored, but the color itself is indicated by small dots exactly in the middle between X-B and A-Y.

The rest is a regular gamepad for the Xbox One of the third revision. This means that you can easily connect any headphones or headset through the 3.5 mm minijack interface, and the gamepad itself can be used with a computer using Bluetooth, provided that your PC has an appropriate signal receiver.

Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Gamepad Phantom magenta – This is a great way to diversify the visual perception of your console, which retains everything that Microsoft controllers love – versatility and excellent ergonomics, but at the same time offers a spectacular translucent burgundy case.
