looks amassing its close to the games beauty but the game just slightly overcomes it ;)

I got the SoT controller. Lovely looking controller. When it said the skull lights up in darkness mine doesn’t though. Seems to need a lot off sunlight and artificial light first. But I can’t fault the detail that has been put onto the controller

@scondog33 Yeah, I read an Amazon review of someone saying the skull doesn't glow for them either. Unfortunately, with any product there will be occasional manufacturing defects. Sorry you got one.

I'm so glad that i picked mine up, the thing is i'm a PC player and the only other Xbox Controller that i owned was the one that came with the Oculus Rift (Which i ended up selling). I still held onto the chat pad and chat headset along with the rechargeable battery and i'm so glad that i did.

I knew from playing in the tech alpha that using the controller at least for just sailing and treasure hunting that the controller would work for me. Being able to test it out in the scale test showed me that even in pvp situation when i wasn't trying to be 100% competitive it worked great for me. Aiming wasn't as hard as i'd thought it would be (however i'm still far better with the mouse, haha).

All in all this controller is not only awesomely beautiful but extremely practical even for someone like me who last used a controller for serious gaming back during the Nintendo 64 days...

really like the new controller, only thing is the skull in the middle is glow in the dark, so very rarely will it be seen lighting up, wish it had a light behind it so it glows all the time, other than that it's really cool

Thanks everyone for the replies, I decided to buy it, sadly all the ones on the microsoft store were sold out, but i got one through gamestop, have to wait a week to get it but i'm super hyped for both the game and this controller

It's a limited edition Sea of Thieves controller and you're asking whether it's worth the price in the SoT forum... Need I say more?

It's a fantastic looking control but only you can decide whether you can justify the cost.

I think all controllers are overpriced. But being evenly priced with others the Sea of Thieves controller looks like an obvious choice.

It so happens one of the bumpers on my Elite controller just gave up the ghost. I have a basic controller that will probably do for a while, but I will miss the paddles I used to mirror clicking on the thumbsticks. The convenience of sprinting that way isn't worth the extra money. The rubber grips were comfortable, but one had broken off and the other was loose after 2 years of heavy use.

Anyway, I would have purchased the SoT controller as an impulse if it had still been easily available. But now I will wait. I already bought the art and lore books anyway!

has there been a confirmed mouse/keyboard for those PC users out there who decide they want to use them (waves)

@musicmee yep Craig Duncan mentioned it on ign last weekend

@deluxechin said in SoT Controller:

Is the controller worth the price?

The skull glows after you hold it up to some light.

So yes.

I've bought one and I don't even own an Xbox One, I'm on PC d(^_^)b

• beautiful design
• support your favorite game and devteam
• works with windows 10
• ferryman clothing

it's a win/win

@Kawaii-Dumpling oh as well as the clothing set mentioned, it contains a code for 14 days of Game Pass....not necessarily an exclusive, but worth a mention :)

I was also still using the controller that came with my Xbox years ago (no 3.5mm connector) and was probably due to buy a new one anyway. can happily say I have 0 regrets buying this one rather than another generic one.

@musicmee aha, merci, I thought that might be the case, was just curious. Thank you.

@j4dio Ahoy!

Yes, you can redeem the code now and it just sits there - like the black dog pack - ready for launch!

@deluxechin For me, certainly worth the price, it's not overpriced at all, and it looks glorious (still sat in it's box not being used till, launch! lol).

On a side note though, has anyone tried to redeem the ferryman outfit yet ? I haven't but now I'm curious as to whether you can redeem the code pre launch (not suggesting or in anyway thinking you'll get to use it) or whether you have to wait till launch day ?

I have two and love them!!! worth every penny I spent on them. They feel good in your hands and look amazing with your designee.

Ugh... still waiting on my pre-order through GameStop. May have to cancel and order direct.

@blair187 Ask lyz to make it :D

@scheefinator |Ooops my bad... answering two similar questions... Editing now!

@kawaii-dumpling An exclusive set of clothes for your character known as the Ferryman set!

@shikia-caeleaum Oh wow, even more incentive to get this even if I agree of the Black Dog pack. Thank you!

@kawaii-dumpling it comes with the Ferryman Outfit...but I honestly prefer the Black Dog pack :D
