PowerA is jumping into the Borderlands universe with a new wireless controller aimed directly at fans of the upcoming Borderlands 4. The company today unveiled the PowerA Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X|S – Borderlands Special Edition, and yes, it looks just as chaotic and colorful as you’d expect.
Officially licensed by Xbox and styled with artwork from the iconic franchise, the Borderlands SE controller blends eye-catching design with enthusiast-grade hardware. But this isn’t just another gimmicky paint job slapped on a gamepad. PowerA has packed in pro-tier features that could make this a go-to device even for competitive players.
The controller uses Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers, which means smoother performance and less chance of drifting over time. There are also four Advanced Gaming Buttons on the back that can be mapped on the fly without diving into a menu. Players can further customize triggers, rumble levels, and audio profiles using the PowerA Gamer HQ app.

Other notable features include dual rumble motors, impulse triggers, a textured grip for comfort during long sessions, and a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 hours per charge. And if you’re not gaming wirelessly, the controller ships with a 10-foot USB-C cable.
It’s not just for Xbox Series X|S either. PowerA confirms compatibility with Xbox One and Windows 10 or 11, so PC gamers aren’t left out. Just don’t expect this controller to be widely available forever. Quantities are limited, and collectors might snatch them up fast.
You can preorder the Borderlands SE controller now through Amazon here. It carries a suggested retail price of $99.99.
