Xbox Officially Reveals Brand-New Hardware, And You Can Pre-Order Now

Xbox hasn't been the industry leader for quite some time, but that hasn't stopped it from innovating when it comes to hardware and desperately attempting to steer the brand back on course and deliver something worthwhile to the dedicated fans who've waited a rather long time with an unconscionable amount of patience. This has meant that those still interested in buying into the Xbox ecosystem have been treated to all manner of new tech, ranging from controllers to handheld devices.

Of course, all of this new tech isn't cheap, and Xbox's new controversial pricing has prompted concerns around the longevity of not just the brand, but the industry as a whole. However, for those who can still afford this increasingly expensive hobby, the new lineup of Xbox hardware is certainly nothing to scoff at. The same can be said, fortunately, about Xbox's latest piece of hardware, a brand-new official release that fans will absolutely want to check out before it inevitably sells out.

Launching alongside the divisive Xbox 25th anniversary collection is a brand-new controller that similarly harkens back to the era of neon-green Xbox products and our collective penchant for see-through electronics. While not quite as old-school as the aforementioned X25 console and accompanying controller, this latest Xbox controller is set to offer a premium feel for a relatively low cost and with a fun nostalgic twist.

The T7 Pro Retro Green Wired Controller is the latest official Xbox licensed controller from GameSir. The hardware brand is best known for its excellent and critically acclaimed controllers which prioritize reliability and premium components, and has produced numerous Xbox controllers in the past. Like many of its other products, the T7 Pro Retro Green Wired features all the modern conveniences one would expect from a controller, such as Hall Effect triggers, GameSir's proprietary GameSir Mag-Res TMR sticks which prevent stick-drift, RGB lighting, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The transparent neon-green design, while not quite as drastic as some of Xbox's best-selling controllers, definitely stands out and helps sell the old-school look Xbox has been pushing for during the 25th anniversary celebrations. The T7 Pro Retro Green Wired Controller works with both the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, as well as Windows 10/11 and Steam. So, for those looking for a new controller to hook up to their PC, the GameSir T7 Pro Retro Green Wired Controller could be a potential option.

The controller can be pre-ordered right now for $69.99 on the official GameSir website. For reference, it costs the same as a wireless Xbox controller from the Microsoft store. GameSir products do tend to sell out pretty quickly, although that isn't necessarily a reason to rush out and buy one, especially if your controller is still in a usable state, or you don't have much interest in collecting every controller ever made. However, for collectors or those with a passion for the original Xbox aesthetic, this may just be the controller for you.
