It’s been nearly 25 years since the very first Xbox console hit store shelves. To commemorate the occasion, Microsoft just revealed a whole bunch of hardware peripherals from several different manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Most of these gadgets have one thing in common: They’re translucent green, which has become something of a short-hand when referencing the original Xbox console. This is a little bit odd, given that the console launched in black with just a green circle in the middle. The translucent stuff came later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In any event, there are new designs of both the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K mouse and the Razer BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard. These are just reskins, so the hardware remains the same. This isn’t a bad thing, given that the Basilisk V3 made our list for the best gaming mouse and the BlackWidow V4 75% is a highly-regarded mechanical keyboard.<\/p>\n
Razer is also greenifying the Hammerhead V3 X Hyperspeed earbuds. These are great little earbuds for switching between different audio sources on the fly, thanks to the company’s proprietary HyperSpeed 2.4GHz streaming platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
8BitDo is on board with a green charging dock. It’s compatible with Xbox Series X\/S and Xbox One controllers. GameSir has redesigned the X5 Lite mobile controller, also in translucent green. This works with both iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n
Finally, there are a couple of doodads here that, for whatever reason, aren’t green. The Backbone Pro Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition is another mobile game controller that’s available in a trio of colorways. Weirdly, there’s no way to pick which color. It’s some kind of mystery box situation.<\/p>\n
Despite the name, the PowerA Xbox Sling Bag is not a carrying case for Xbox consoles and controllers. Rather, it’s for Xbox-branded Ally and Ally X handheld devices. It is jet back with minor green accents, making this the only accessory that actually looks kind of like a 2001 Xbox.<\/p>\n
All of the above items are available to preorder right now. This can be done via the Xbox store or from the actual manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Of course, this isn’t the only move Microsoft is making to celebrate the birthday of its very first gaming console. There’s a, you guessed it, translucent green Xbox Series X console launching in November.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
