I’m trying to identify what special edition this Xbox controller is but I’m struggling to find any info online that matches it.

It is grey and red with metallic red d-pad and triggers and has “you died” printed in the centre at the bottom. Initially that made me think it was some kind of dark souls related edition but searching those words just brings me up endless threads of people having issues with using a controller and the game.

I’ve scrolled through lists and lists of pictures of special editions and can’t seem to find the right one, so does anyone have any insight into what this may be?

Maybe it is one someone has had made for themselves as I found it in a charity shop but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Any help appreciated!

    The “you died” text on it makes me wonder if it was some kind of special Dark Souls thing. But I don’t remember any special Dark Souls release on Xbox.

    It could have been custom made back when they were doing that if you bought directly from MS. Not sure if they still do that, but I rememeber it being a thing back in, I think, the XB360 days.

      Yeh it was the text that was throwing me. I’ve customised my own controllers with different coloured buttons etc before so that part was easily explainable but the text is professionally added and I never knew that was a thing people did (seems like a waste of money to me)

      Turns out it is a design labs custom one as per the other responses though. Learn something new every day!
