Xbox One Limited Edition Controllers Call of Duty

Did you get an Xbox One for Christmas? Awesome! Now is the time to start collecting these limited editions controllers, then. Here are some of our favorites!

The Xbox One has been around for a couple years, and even though we have loved the console from the get-go, it’s controller wasn’t a major smash-success like with the Xbox 360, who was beloved even by PC gamers. Microsoft has been improving their designs and have now created the best gamepad in gaming history, but along the way produced a few really cool and rare limited edition controllers, which we want to show you in this story. Here are our favorite Xbox One Limited Edition Controllers, and where to purchase them!

Xbox One Limited Edition Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Controller

 

This is a very special edition joystick, inspired by Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the first Call of Duty to appear on the Xbox One. This $79.99 USD controller features a custom design inspired by the Sentinel Task Force from the game, and was made in limited quantities so it quickly became a hot item. We particularly like the grey background with gold details, as it is a gamma we don’t usually see in gaming.

Xbox One Special Edition Midnight Forces Wireless Controller

 

The Xbox One Special Edition Midnight Forces Wireless Controller is a beautiful gamepad with a special camouflage pattern and military look. It’s not that different from other models (despite the fact that it includes redesigned thumbsticks and D-pad enhancements) except for the fact that it is particularly pretty, but the fact that it used to be a Best Buy exclusive and was made in limited quantities turnet it into a collector’s item. You can buy one for $73.95 USD.

Xbox One Special Edition Covert Forces Wireless Controller

 

The Xbox One Special Edition Covert Forces Wireless Controller is yet another Xbox One controller with a modern camouflage pattern. this time in black and grey for a more grim, cool look. It was one of the first controllers to feature the much requested 3.5mm stereo headset jack so users could plug in their compatible headsets.

Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Master Chief Controller

This beauty over here is the Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Master Chief Controller, inspired by the signature colors of Master Chief’s armor with laser etched design. The controller is absolutely beautiful and a must-have for any fan of the series, for not only features all the latest implementations in Xbox One gamepads (yes, the 3.5 stereo jack included), but also a Halo 5 Bonus Req pack download code featuring a Dauntless visor, so you get perks both inside and outside the game. This Xbox One gamepad costs $72.99 USD, and is also quickly becoming a collector’s item.

Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Controller

The Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Controller is yet another controller with a Halo 5: Guardians theme, but one that leaves Master Chief’s iconic look on the sides to feature instead the colors of newcomer Spartan Locke and his squad. This gamepad comes with Halo combat design and insignias in metallic blue accents, and also includes the much touted Halo 5 Bonus Req pack download code with the Resolute visor. You can purchase this gamepad for $62.49 USD.

Phonejoy GamePad 2 Bluetooth Controller

Phonejoy GamePad 2 Bluetooth Controller 01

T’is the season to play mobile games, since most youngsters are enjoying the holidays right now, and turning to Bluetooth controllers such as Phonejoy’s GamePad 2 is by far a better idea than tapping the smartphone’s display frantically.

Touchscreens represent without a doubt an evolution in terms of user interfaces, as using QWERTY (or even worse, numpad) keyboards on mobile devices has always been more time-consuming. Despite that, when it comes to mobile gaming, most prefer doing the old-fashioned way, with hardware buttons and gamepads. Blame console gaming for that, if you will, as there are several generations who grew up gaming on Nintendo, PlayStation or Xbox consoles. On top of that, hardware buttons also give us more control over what we are doing, not to mention that our reactions can be better coordinated when using a gamepad. In this context, using the Phonejoy GamePad 2 Bluetooth controller when gaming on a smartphone should be seen as something natural.

The controller developed by Phonejoy Solutions extends to accommodate smartphones of various sizes. You might have seen tablets with hardware gaming controls on each side of the display, and while in some cases these buttons are built into the body of the devices, in other cases they just attach to the tablet using some kind of dock. Phonejoy’s GamePad 2 falls in the second category, for an increased versatility. The manufacturer advertises this device as being platform agnostic, so it will work equally well with iPhones and Android devices.

Phonejoy’s GamePad 2 Bluetooth controller sports all of the buttons you could possibly need while gaming: shoulder buttons, a joystick, and action buttons. Obviously, some of these can also be used for navigating through the app drawer, but it’s gaming that it was built for.

Since it includes 12 powerful stainless steel springs, expanding and contracting the gamepad is done in a precise manner. The design enables the controller to expand three times its original size, so it’ll fit all sorts of smartphones without any problems.

The built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery charges via microUSB (computer ports and power adapters are equally fine), and a full charge should allow you to play games for up to 14 hours. That’s enough for a few days of commuting or even for a long trip. Just throw it in your backpack and get it out whenever you feel like gaming.

The following video should give you a pretty good idea about the types of games you can play with Phonejoy Solutions’ GamePad 2 Bluetooth controller.

If you’re into mobile gaming and think that Phonejoy’s GamePad 2 Bluetooth controller could help you improve your score, head over to Walyou Deals and get one at the discounted price of $59, 22% off the original price of $78. The gamepad is shipped for free to continental US destinations, and delivery should take place between January 3 and 6. Hurry up, as it will only be available in our store for five more days!
