Starting April 25 for $69.99 (USD), the first in Microsoft's "Tech Series" of Xbox Wireless Controllers will hit the market. Microsoft says that these controllers are "inspired by military technology and performance patterns." So you'll see designs that look like "combat armor and sci-fi mechanical gear."

The first in this series is the Recon Tech Special Edition controller.

Premium finishes like a laser etched texture, gold accents and insignia are on the front of the controller. The back of the controller features textured diamond rubberized grip for added control and comfort. This specialized controller also has the same features you know and love of the Xbox Wireless Controller, including improved wireless range and Bluetooth technology for gaming on Windows 10 devices or Samsung Gear VR. You can also take advantage of the custom button-mapping feature through the Xbox Accessories App, available for download from the Xbox Store or Windows Store.

Microsoft also announced a Copilot mode for the Xbox consoles. This allows two Xbox Wireless Controllers to act as one. This could prove to be useful for parents wanting to bring their very young children in on the gaming action. Microsoft also points out that it could be useful for those with special control needs such as playing with a hand and foot or a hand and a chin, just to name two examples. This Copilot feature will be available later this year.
