With that said, you might wonder how to enhance your experience or get more Starfield in your life.

The official Starfield Xbox controller
Let’s start with the controller first.
Without a doubt, the Starfield controller is the best looking one I’ve ever seen.
I mean, look at this thing.

It’s gorgeous; there’s no other way to explain it.
The color scheme is not only helpful in detailing the controller layout but also sleek enough to leave holdersstarstruck.
Controllers don’t get better looking than this.
The more drastic control bindings easily stand out, likePWRandTHROT.

Every quick little scan leaves the holder smiling at the attention to detail.

Even the touch is superb, reminding me of the diamond grips on Microsoft’s Elite series of controllers.
Not to mention the gorgeous dynamic background.
Starfield’s $130 headset
Now, the headset.

This thing surprised me.
For $130, I wasn’t sure what I was getting.
I’m generally the weird guy who buys headsets in the $200-$300 range.
To top it off, I stay away from wireless technology and stick to corded.
That was until this pretty thing.
Immediately, I felt the positives of having a wireless headset.

I was hearing the sounds of Starfield within seconds.
Both in-game and from the built-in sound effects.
The menu sound from ingame plays when players first boot the headset up.

If I wanted to grab something, I could place the controller down without taking off the headset.
There are so many benefits I neglect in the name of sound precision.
The comfort is excellent once you properly adjust the headset to your head size.
It feels plush against the sides and allows players hours of continual use without needing a break.
Simply pleasant to the touch.
Leaving players who want the fastest reaction times to footsteps in competitive games at a slight disadvantage.
The only other slight knock I have to give it is the light-up microphone.
Should you buy them?
After buying these on hype during the Xbox showcase event, I’m glad I did.
I’m looking at you, Halo 3’s ‘legendary helmet.’
