The design of both controllers is strikingly similar, featuring detailed etchings inspired by Geralt of Rivia. A standout feature is the wolf medallion, akin to the one Geralt wears, etched into the center of the controller. According to the announcement blog, these controllers also boast Glagolitic script, the oldest Slavic alphabet, which is also found in the game. The right grip showcases the iconic red claw marks that represent the "III" in the game's title, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal.

Functionally, these controllers match their standard counterparts. The current Xbox controller design is, in my opinion, the best ever created, offering a fantastic feel and durability that can withstand even the toughest play from my kids.

The Elite Series 2 model, with its higher price tag, offers additional premium features. These include adjustable-tension thumbsticks, hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. It also comes with interchangeable components such as various height thumbsticks, different D-pad designs, and customizable rear paddles, allowing for a personalized gaming experience.

These new controllers are compatible with a wide range of devices, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android.
