Razerhas released alimited edition Boba Fett Xbox Wireless Controllerand quick charge stand, which retails for $180. The controller’s design is inspired by Boba Fett’s iconic helmet, complete with battle-hardened scuffs and scratches.
Like all new Xbox Wireless Controllers, the pad includes a share button, a more ergonomic design, impulse triggers, and Bluetooth support, which means you can use it onWindows 10PCs, Mac, and mobile devices.
This isn’t the firstStar Wars-inspired Xbox controller Razer has released. The company previously released a Mandalorian Beskar Edition Controller, and a Darth Vader andStar Wars: Squadroncustom controller.
