YouTuber Made a Solid Gold Xbox Controller And It's Worth A Fortune

While some people are okay with their usual stock game controllers that they get along with their console purchases, some people take it up a notch to see how far they can go with these things.

YouTube channel 'Linus Tech Tips' did something that no gamer and tech person would do-create an Xbox Series X controller from 1.5kg of precious 18-karat gold! Of course, the price for making it doesn't come cheap as it cost $87,500 to produce, officially the "the most expensive Xbox controller in the world."

This one-of-a-kind custom controller is made by a company named Expert Casing. Linus takes his viewers through the process of how it was formed from start to finish. The third video of this controller-making series is on its way, but the first two videos show how the controller is now officially taking form and shape. The upcoming third video will possibly showcase the team using it while on serious gameplay.

Hopefully, with the ad revenue these three videos would have, it would definitely help him pay off this expensive project.

One of this controller's cool features is its texture at the back, with a very comfortable grip when you hold it. If you're a gamer, this is definitely a need, especially on games that require you a tight yet comfortable grip while executing combos or multiple button pressing.

Comments on the video share amazement and fascination with the project. However, some have said that they rather spend the project money on other things like a car or perhaps a couple of PlayStation 5s. Regardless of the mixed opinions, Linus has once again made the impossible possible.

Linus Tech Tips is so far one of YouTube's popular channels for PC and console gaming tech. He discusses and shares tips on upgrading your PC build, making some hi-end tech upgrades, and creating expensive custom builds like this gold Xbox controller.
