Man, same boat. I had the Luna and Xbox 20th Anniversary controllers but sold them. Regret there. I have the Sky Cipher but now I want the Ghost Cipher.
HEY, so i got this controller just last week. I like the style of it. BUT.... for me, the side grips, if you just add a tad bit of pressure. It has this creaking sound? The shell of the controller doesn't seem to be in place? Not sure if you're facing the same issue? The build structure of this controller doesn't seem to be that great?
@@fpshooterful I haven’t had any issues with creaking sounds and feels pretty solid to me, though I have had Xbox controllers in the past that have made noise when held to tight, so might just be a bad batch? Sucks it’s making a noise though..
@@JoelBenjiTech Ya, when i add a bit of pressure, then only its make that creaking sound around the side grips. If i just pick it up, and start playing, as normal, then you don't really notice it. But, here is the thing, my last controller was the Vapor edition and the reason why i returned it, because that as WELL was making a creaking sound. Except this time it was the upper left side of the shell. Where as for my Ghost controller its on the side grips. Again, only if i add pressure. I am not sure if you can just do a quick test? And just add a bit of pressure on the side grip of this Ghost controller with your finger tips? And let me know if you're getting some sorta creaking sound? I really Appreicate it. Becuase, it can't just be me that getting back to back bad batches? I did get both of my controllers from Amazon. Not sure if that has anything to do with it? I still have my original Xbox one controller, stopped working. But the build quality is still there. No creakin sound whatsoever.
@@fpshooterful Just did another quick test, doing exactly what you said with adding a bit of pressure with my finger tips and also squeezed around the controller too and I can't get it to make any noises. It makes the slightest creak sound but it's so quiet it's barely audible and most plastic devices make that noise naturally anyway. Think it might be your controller specifically or maybe I just got lucky and got a high quality version haha
@@JoelBenjiTech HEY, thanks for keeping me up to date. You're awesome! I am actually going to post a video on my channel about this issue. I will send you a message when i upload the video, and maybe check back with me later and confirm the sound you maybe hearing? I really appreciate it. Great content BTW and great video quality. I will probably end up just getting a replacement. I just don't want to end up in the same situation again. But, i will find out, if its an Amazon thing or xbox quality control.
@@MegaDancingUnicorns that’s fair enough! I’ve owned an elite in the past and have to say this is super close in terms of comfort with the rubber back on the grips. A lot nicer feel than the stock controllers.
@@MegaDancingUnicorns actually that would be sick! I think xbox recently made clear options for the elite but really don't like the black rubber grips around the front, looks a bit weird. Wish they would go fully frosted translucent on the front like the ghost cipher, that would be awesome.
Let me know your thoughts on the Cipher Xbox controllers and which one you would choose, the Ghost or Sky Cipher?! 🤔
Love it, the ghost ciphers giving me some nasa astronaut vibes
True!! Hadn't thought about that but you're totally right, now I can't unsee it haha such a vibe!

Wow gorgeous controller, your unboxing convinced me to get it
@@UnlimitedProduction1 oh awesome!! Glad the unboxing helped you decide to get one. It really is a sick controller! 🤩
Just ordered mine. I never even knew about these.
So clean!
That's awesome you ordered one! It is such a clean design! Let me know how it goes!
Damn they look very cool!
Don’t they look sick!! 🤩
Nice video. I have the Lunar controller and will be picking up the Ghost today.
@@BNOVA Nice! The Lunar controller is the best! Let me know how you like the Ghost Cipher one too 😊
I want this!
@@JAYKIDR0B0T isn’t it so cool!!
Wish I owned an Xbox
@@ClassicMan-D1 same to be honest. I got rid of mine for my steam deck but I’m kinda wanting to get one again haha
I’m gonna take the unpopular opinion here and say I really like the Blue one more. The white is super nice tho
I think the blue is super nice too!! Both have their unique charm I think 😊
I am thankful I can get both. Hoping for a red to pair with the Sky Cipher!
Maybe a Crimson Cipher
I think they should mirror this. Do a translucent bronze/gold, with silver dpad and triggers
bought this one today as an reserve cuz they now 45 euro on Amazon 🤟🏼
Oh sick!! Let me know how it goes 😊

The normal controllers don't have the rubberized grips. Only the special and limited edition controllers have them
Thought as much, all xbox controllers should have the rubberized grips from now on, so much more comfortable to use!
I want but it's not an elite so I'm out.
@@MegaDancingUnicorns that’s fair enough! I’ve owned an elite in the past and have to say this is super close in terms of comfort with the rubber back on the grips. A lot nicer feel than the stock controllers.
@@JoelBenjiTech yeah I would expect it to be the same. Back buttons are huge for me.
@@MegaDancingUnicorns Ah makes sense! I never really mastered the back buttons so it's completely understandable you would prefer the elite.
@@JoelBenjiTech maybe I could find a clear shell for the elite itself, that be sick.
