Save an Extra 10% Off the New SteelSeries Aeon Pro Wireless Gaming Controller With Infinite Battery Life
Quite possibly the best wireless PC and Xbox gaming controller ever.
SteelSeries has unveiled its new Aeon Pro wireless gaming controller, priced at $233.99 with a 10% discount coupon available. This is the company's first high-end pro-grade controller, boasting top-tier build quality and a plethora of features. IGN's Bo Moore has given the controller a favorable review so far.
Among its features, the Aeon Pro stands out for its infinite battery system, utilizing a hot-swappable battery design similar to the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro and Omni headsets. This system ensures zero downtime with two removable, rechargeable batteries - one for immediate use and another kept charged in a docking station that also acts as a charger.
A standout feature is the patented QuickSwitch system, enabling instant and seamless switching between Xbox, PC, or mobile devices without re-pairing or re-plugging. The docking station functions as a hub, connecting wirelessly to the controller via Bluetooth for mobile devices and USB Type-C ports for Xbox and PC. This technology mirrors that of the Arctis Nova Pro Omni headset.
The controller features Hall Effect joysticks with magnetic sensors, offering superior precision and sensitivity compared to traditional potentiometer-based sensors. These joysticks have no moving parts, making them resistant to stick drift. Additionally, it boasts 16 programmable buttons, all customizable via the OLED display or GG app, including four XYAB buttons, four trigger buttons, and four rear paddle switches with adjustable travel length.
The Aeon Pro also includes modular thumbsticks in four different styles: convex, concave, standard length, and long, allowing for easy replacement and further personalization. Though it comes at a premium price, its extensive features and quality make it a worthwhile investment for heavy gamers who use their controllers for extensive periods.
