Deal | Xbox’s new Pulse Cipher wireless controller now discounted by 15% on Amazon

The Xbox Amazon storefront is now offering a 15% discount on its newly launched Pulse Cipher Special Edition wireless controller, bringing the price down from $74.99 to just $64. If you aren’t into a red aesthetic, the good news is that the Sky Cipher one is also discounted right now at Amazon. The Sky Cipher controller is currently 9% off, bringing the price down to just $63.99.

Visually, the Xbox Pulse Cipher wireless controller has a bright red transparent shell with a silver interior, which is similar to the Ghost Cipher transparent Xbox controller that debuted in September of last year. Like an Xbox Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller, the Pulse Cipher also offers rubber-coated two-toned thumbsticks and metallic triggers finished in a signature red color for reliable, smooth operation with low drift and high accuracy.

Sadly, Microsoft doesn’t offer the Hall effect joysticks and triggers. Instead, it comes with three tension settings, which allow users to adjust the resistance of the joysticks. Furthermore, you can remap the controller’s buttons via the Xbox Accessories companion app and customize the joystick and trigger sensitivity.

It features red, diamond-shaped rubberized grips, which should make it even more comfortable to use during extended gaming sessions. Another nice-to-have is the dual vibration motors for variable rumble intensity. Moreover, you can also create custom profiles for your favorite games, and you can easily switch between them directly via the controller.

The Xbox Pulse Cipher is compatible with the Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PC, iOS, and Android. Dimensionally, it measures 6.91 x 5.61 x 2.76 inches (175 x 142.4 x 70 mm) and weighs 385 grams (0.84 lbs). The wireless gaming controller offers up to 40 hours of playtime on a single charge. Additionally, it has a USB-C port on top for charging and direct plug-and-play and a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the bottom.

All in all, if you are looking for a premium-grade gaming controller, then you can’t go wrong with Xbox’s newly launched Pulse Cipher Special Edition wireless controller, which has two-toned thumbsticks, metallic triggers, diamond-shaped rubberized wrap-around grips, and remappable buttons, all for just $64 on Amazon.
