This fan-made Halo Needler controller is gorgeous

‘Halo Needler controller’ is perfection

Halo Infinite is just around the corner, and I feel like I need to celebrate the occasion with some sort of updated hardware. While this fan-made creation is a little out of my price range, the Halo Needler controller would suit that need perfectly.

Custom made by artist POPeART, it’s of the Series S/X variety for extra flair, and has a great purple/chrome color scheme with blue face buttons/Xbox guide button glow. It also sports purple/pink triggers, and has that rad ’90s attitude Needler “claw mark” on it to help it stand out.  It looks pretty official to me!

You can actually buy the controller here, but note that it’s $149.99. For the amount of work that went into it (and the fact that it’s a fully updated Series S/X remote with the share button), it makes sense. I’m just happy things like this exist for sale at all, as far too often there’s only one coveted creator copy. The creator notes that the design doesn’t fade, it’s backed by a 90-day warranty, and has limited stock.

While your mileage may vary, it seems like it offers free worldwide shipping, if that’s any consolation! You can also try the code “WELCOME10,” which knocks 10 bucks off on the site.
