Razer has announced itsStar WarsBoba Fett Xbox controller, which is available now. Like most new Xbox controllers, the Boba Fett controller features pressure-sensitive triggers and rubberized grips, making for a optimal tactile experience while playing. The controller along with the included display and charging stand—which can fast charge the controller in under 3 hours—are modelled after Boba Fett’s signature green and red helmet, with the full image coming together while the controller is docked. Boba Fett made his firstStar Warsappearance inThe Empire Strikes Back, and is getting a spotlight of his own in the upcoming Display+ show,Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett.
As this is a limited-edition controller, it is a bit more expensive than the traditional line of Xbox controllers. Buying a standard Xbox controller or using the Xbox Design Lab usually places buyers somewhere in the $70-100 range, while the Xbox Elite controllers are pricier, landing in the $150-200 price area. The Boba Fett Xbox controller and stand can be purchased directly from Razer and other authorized retailers for a price of $179. Razer creates other specialty hardware like a line ofHalo InfinitePC accessorieslike a Master Chief inspired keyboard, mouse, and RGB mat.
Once thought to be dead, Boba Fett lives on in theStar Warsuniverse and is appropriately receiving merchandise to celebrate. Though the character’s on-screen time betweenThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jediwas very short, Boba Fett endured as one of the most popularStar Warscharacters, largely due to his instantly recognizable design. WithBoba Fett is coming toFortniteat the end of December, it was only a matter of time before theStar Warslegend got his own controller.
