Microsoft is known for offering a massive variety of Xbox Wireless Controllers to pair with its consoles, PCs, and other forms of gaming platforms. Once in a while, though, the company also partners with other media giants for special controller releases, usually promoting upcoming movies and such. Today, the company unveiled the official Xbox Cheeky Controller, which is "modeled after Deadpool’s much-discussed, perfectly rounded tush."
As seen in the promotional picture above, the custom controller's main draw is its behind. As part of a promotion to hype the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie, Microsoft says the unique Xbox controller "channels Deadpool’s buns of steel in its firm (yet surprisingly comfortable) grip."
Other than the rounded backplate, the rest of the controller also features elements inspired by Deadpool's red and black tactical suit, down to the patterns and the belts.
