The New Xbox Wireless Controller – Nocturnal Vapor Special Edition

It looks like Microsoft is doubling down on its "Vapor" theme right now, we've seen a range of Vapor controllers released over the last few months and on the 9th April 2024 they're adding another colour scheme to its range - the "Nocturnal Vapor".

As you can see, this one has a green swirl look about it, we like the way this looks. Although, the marketing spiel on this did make us laugh a little...

Inspired by nature at night, every colour swirl is an expression of that expansive landscape with a design that’s unique to each controller – each with its own energy and pattern

Ok...

As with Microsoft's other "Vapor" controller releases, the Nocturnal features textured grips on the rear of the controller - we find this helps considerably with comfort and feel.  Other standard features include:

• Wireless Connectivity (including Bluetooth)
• Compatibility with PC, iOS, Android devices and the previous generation Xbox One
• 3.5mm Audio Jack
• Customisable share button

This will be the third "Vapor" Xbox Controller release, the other Xbox Vapor controller releases include:

• Stormcloud Vapor Special Edition
• Dream Vapor Special Edition

As mentioned above, Microsoft seems to be running with this Vapor theme, they recently announced that they've added 6 new Vapor colours to the Xbox Design lab, our personal favourite is the Stormcloud.
