Microsoft has updated its Phantom Xbox controller line, which consists of translucent white and black models, to include a third opaque colour.

The latest translucent shade is magenta. It seems to fade from a pink to a dark pink colour. Other features include a 3.5mm stereo jack, Bluetooth support, a textured grip, and the ability to work with iOS, Android, and Windows 10 PCs.
