Unboxing: The Pacific Skyline Controller Is Bringing Coastal Flair to Your Setup
A closer look at Turtle Beach’s new sunset-inspired gamepad that delivers pro-grade performance and West Coast style.
Turtle Beach is breaking the mold with the Pacific Skyline Controller. Released last month, the launch doubles as the brand’s first bold step into the lifestyle space, trading the usual angular, all-black style for something more vivid, more aesthetically at home.
Channelling a distinctly SoCal vibe, the new release is tapping into the brand’s coastal roots. Leaning into a golden hour palette, the controller features palm tree motifs and a sunny skyline, anchored by soft pinks and aquatic detailing for the perfect, thoughtful complement to a curated setup or even a creative workshop.
A standout feature of the Pacific Skyline Controller is the six customizable RGB lighting zones hidden beneath its shell. When activated, the surface becomes enveloped in an illuminated San Diego skyline embedded in the controller’s casing. The lighting can be adjusted to seamlessly adapt the energy to match every mood, adding another personal touch to the experience.
But with this breezy exterior, Turtle Beach isn’t paring back on performance. Fusing top-tier hardware with a relaxed, pastel look, the unit is equipped with premium TMR thumbsticks for lightning-fast control and precision. Elsewhere, dual rumble motors and integrated impulse triggers deliver haptic feedback across racing, action, and competition titles.
Optimized for customizable gameplay, the controller includes two mappable quick-action buttons on the rear. Connectivity is equally versatile with low-latency wireless support on Xbox and PC via a USB transmitter, alongside integrated Bluetooth for mobile play. Rounding out the feature set is a 3.5mm audio jack with onboard D-pad controls for quick adjustments to game and chat audio without interrupting play.
For players looking to up their setup with a little West Coast style, the Pacific Skyline Wireless Controller is available now for $89.99 USD, exclusively through the Turtle Beach webstore.
