Another key feature of the Aqua Shift controller is the rubberized side grips. It’s the first Special Edition Xbox Series X|S controller to feature rubberized grips, and according to Microsoft, they’ll have a “unique dual color swirl on every unit.” Each one will be like your own personal controller, even if you’re not chiseling a name into it like you can do with the Xbox Design Lab. As a colorful, fancy flex on your friends, the Aqua Shift seems like a pretty good way to show up to the Halo LAN in style. I’m a little more interested in the grips, though. The grip apparently made a big difference with the Xbox Elite controllers in the past, and adding both a little bit of steadiness and comfort to the long-day play sessions sounds pretty nice.
