Camouflaged controller and headset coming to Xbox One in October

Add as a preferred source on Google

Xbox One users haven’t had a lot of options to choose from in terms of non-standard controllers and headsets since the console launched in November 2013, but that changes with the reveal of the Special Edition Armed Forces Wireless Controller and Stereo Headset. The two items, which will be sold separately, sport a stylish splash of green-and-black camouflage. It’s subtle, and a welcome break from the predominantly all-black accessories that have been available so far.

The headset and controller are both set to be released in October 2014, with pre-orders in the US and Canada now open. The controller retails for $65 and can be pre-ordered here, while the headset comes in at $90 and can be found here. The two special edition items command a $10 premium over the basic controller and headset for the Xbox One. That’s the price you pay for military style.

If you're the kind of person who plans vacations around vintage arcades, hunts down rare pinball machines, or misses that one table you played years ago, there's now a surprisingly useful tool built just for you.

Called Pinball Map, the free website and mobile app does exactly what its name suggests. It helps players locate public pinball machines almost anywhere in the world, whether they're tucked away inside dedicated arcades, neighborhood bars, restaurants, museums, breweries, or even campgrounds. Think of it as Google Maps, but instead of helping you find coffee shops, it points you to your next pinball game.

Asus’ powerful new gaming laptop with a 240Hz Mini LED display makes its global debut
The 2026 ROG Strix G18 pairs up to RTX 5080 graphics with an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus CPU
ROG Strix G18 (2026) laptop

Asus has started rolling out the 2026 ROG Strix G18 globally, and the easiest way to describe it is as a slightly toned-down version of the ridiculous ROG Strix Scar 18. It keeps the same 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor but tops out at an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU instead of the Scar’s RTX 5090. (via Notebookcheck)

The Mini LED model gets the best balance
