Xbox One Series X S Custom Soft Touch Controller - Neon Orange

In this review the reviewer assesses the Xbox One Series X S Custom Soft Touch Controller in neon orange, aimed at players who value feel and grip during long sessions. The single biggest reason to consider this controller is the custom soft touch front shell that adds a velvet-like texture and extra grip while retaining all official Microsoft functionality. It is a modified, brand new official Xbox Series X/S controller that should appeal to anyone who wants a unique color and improved handling without sacrificing compatibility or features.

Key Features

• Official base controller: Starts with a brand new official Microsoft Xbox Series X/S controller, so it retains full compatibility with Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One consoles and updates.
• Custom soft touch shell: The neon orange front shell uses a soft touch coating that provides a velvet-like feel and a more secure grip for extended play sessions.
• Improved handling: The added grip reduces slippage during intense gameplay, which can help precision and comfort over long periods.
• Quality-controlled customization: Each unit is customized starting from original packaging and undergoes testing to ensure functionality after the front shell is replaced.
• Distinctive appearance: The neon orange color helps the controller stand out visually and can make it easier to spot or keep track of among other gear.

Who It's For

The custom soft touch controller is best for console players who already like the Xbox Series X/S layout but want a different tactile experience and a standout color. It suits regular gamers who play for hours and appreciate a softer surface and extra grip to reduce hand fatigue and slipping.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need official factory-warranty replacements from the original manufacturer without third-party modification, or users who prioritize long-term durability guarantees over cosmetic customization, since some customers report mixed durability experiences after customization.
