That's a beautiful controller, even if I wouldn't use it it'd look nice with my collection
I have to admit, when it comes to special additions of hardware, MS usally knocks it out of the ballpark compared to its competitors. I always remember the Steel Batallion controller, arguably the most prolific, insane and awesome controller ever made for a game. The Halo and Starwars additions of the 360 Console haven't been equaled to date among consoles. Hopefully this E3 they'll get back their Mojo when it comes to games. Thumbs up on the Recon controller.
The first in the Tech Series, the Recon Tech Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller as inspired by military technology and the patterns used in technology.
It's cool to have another option, but I'm not sure I'd spend the extra dough for what seems to be basically the same controller with some different texture grip. If it comes with Scorpio and some new Scorpio games (or the rumored PC compatible games) I'd be happy to have it over the regular Xbox one controller.
Again, we'll probably have to wait until E3 to see why MS is holding there cards so close to their chest (Software-wise).
Looks great! I'd love to see other color variations of this in the future.
EDIT: It's a new series of controllers announced, not limited to this one. 🙂

I'll stick with the Xbox Elite controller for my PC.
Preordered one from the MS Store. It'll probably get bundled with Scorpio, but I can have two then.
