Here's where you can buy the new Mineral Camo Special Edition Xbox Controller
TL;DR: The new Xbox Wireless Controller – Mineral Camo Special Edition ($69.99) was available for purchase at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and in the Microsoft Store as of Sept. 29.
Between the limited-edition God of War Ragnarök Dualsense, the premium DualSense Edge, and the budget-friendly Elite Series 2 Core, this fall is panning out to be huge for People Who Need A New Gaming Controller.
Xbox threw another hat in the ring this week with its debut of its new Mineral Camo Special Edition Controller, an ocean-toned wireless gamepad it said was inspired by "geode crystals." (Sure!) The controller is the fourth entry in its camo series after the Night Ops Camo, Arctic Camo, and Daystrike Camo versions, and it's up for grabs at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and in the Microsoft Store for $69.99 as of Sept. 29. (That's only $10 more than the standard Robot White Xbox Wireless Controller that comes with Xbox Series consoles.)
Note that GameStop still has it listed as a preorder for some reason, but it's fully released at this point.
Like last year's Daystrike Camo variant, the Mineral Camo controller features a dish-shaped hybrid D-pad, textured grips, and remappable buttons that you can use to create custom profiles for different games. A Share button sits between its View and Menu buttons, which will make it easy to capture screenshots and clips for your highlight reel. You'll find a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom of the controller, in case you want to plug in a headset when you're playing Fortnite or Sea of Thieves with the crew.
If you need somewhere to store this bad boy when you're AFK, you can pick up a matching Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand for $49.99 on Amazon or the Razer website. (It was sold out in the Microsoft Store the last time we checked.)
