by Manon Hume on Mar 21, 2017 at 10:25 AM

In anticipation of Project Scorpio's release this holiday season and the Xbox Game Pass later this spring, Microsoft has unveiled the details of its latest wireless controller.

The Recon Tech Special Edition controller retains many of the core features of the Xbox One's wireless controllers, such as customized button-mapping and Bluetooth connectivity with Windows 10 and Samsung Gear VR. It also increases the controller's wireless range and introduces a new design with laser-etching and rubberized grips on the back.

Launching on April 25 for $69.99, the Recon Tech Special Edition can be pre-ordered here.
