While the internals remain the same, externally is where this controller shines, as it sports a transparent clear design, silver interior, metallic features, and more. The Ghost Cipher controller releases October 8 and is available to preorder now at Amazon for $70. But if you want the best deal, check out Walmart’s preorder deal that drops the price to $64.
The new design does allow you to get a really good look at what’s inside of the peripheral. The clear transparent top case is complemented by metallic and silver interior parts that shine through from the inside, while the bronze metallic triggers, matching D-pad, and ash grey rubberized grips add some elegant finishing touches.

As mentioned, the Ghost Cipher is the second controller in the new Cipher series. If you really like the color blue and transparent electronics, the Sky Cipher is the controller for you. Launched in August, the Sky Cipher Special Edition Wireless Controller just received its first discount at Amazon and Walmart.
The Cipher series retains all of the features that make the Xbox Wireless Controller a reliable jack-of-all-trades device, as it has a robust construction, durable face buttons, and a useful share button. These work not only on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles but also wirelessly on PC and smartphones via a Bluetooth connection. While it may not be as advanced as Sony’s DualSense controller, this is still a comfortable device to use for long gaming stretches. It also has an excellent battery life, and you can choose to use regular AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack.
