Our Take
A limited-edition variant of Microsoft's standard Xbox Wireless Controller, finished in a smoky grey and blue gradient design inspired by storm clouds. Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Bluetooth or the Xbox Wireless protocol. Aimed at existing Xbox players wanting a premium-looking pad without stepping up to the Elite series.
Key Features
Storm Cloud Vapour finish with a layered grey-to-blue gradient across the body and textured grip areas
Textured grip on the back and trigger zones for improved hold during extended sessions
Hybrid D-pad (faceted design inherited from the Xbox Series controller line) for more precise directional inputs
3.5mm headphone jack on the base for direct headset connection
USB-C charging port replacing the older Micro-USB connection
Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless adapter), and Xbox Cloud Gaming on mobile
Our Verdict
A sensible buy for an Xbox or PC player who wants a reliable, well-made controller with a distinctive finish. If you already own a functioning pad, the Storm Cloud design is the only real reason to upgrade. Anyone needing advanced features like hair-trigger locks or swappable components should save up for the Elite Series 2 instead.
