Forums - Microsoft - Most expensive Xbox360 controller ever!!! $999.99 Requires key to turn it on

Coca-Cola on 17 October 2011

No, I won't be buying this.

This here is a custom Xbox 360 controller mod that replaces plastic with wood, leather and brass. Oh, and the Xbox button in the middle? It's now a keyhole.

Yes, you need to turn the included key in the keyhole in order to turn the controller on. Don't lose that key! As for the buttons, they're all brass, which may make for some relatively uncomfortable gaming sessions. Just think of it like a built-in time limit to keep you from playing all night.

Want it for yourself? Well...it'll set you back $999.99.

Nobody wants it means there is no need for mass production means resources of our planet can be used for something more worthwile.

But by that logic I'm good for the environment, and I don't want to be good for the environment

Don't worry, there's a difference between a living being and an item. This controller is just one-time damage being done, but you are a continuous threat to your surroundings, so you are anything but good.

Thanks for making me feel better Rol

Terrible i would rather buy a white xbox controller



ChristianTheAtheist on 17 October 2011

Interesting idea, but it looks super-uncomfortable. Would be cool to see one made out of fine wood such as mahogany, that wood just looks plain cheap, and the buttons too.

Lol WTF? That looks terrible. I wouldn't even want that for $Free 99.

The most I've ever spent on a controller was about $90. It was modded (for single shot weapons on CoD4) and also had blue LED's instead of green.
