    Microsoft commissioned an extremely limited Xbox controller made out of jade, an ornamental stone usually found in classical Chinese jewelry.

    The current generation Xbox controller made of jade was produced by craftsman Andy Chi to celebrate Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.

    Andy used a mix of traditional methods and modern CNC milling to craft the jade-infused Xbox controller, via a partnership with Xbox Game Pass.

    Here’s a video showing the controller being made:
