I still remember the long, quiet nights of 2020, when the world felt both vast and confined. The digital halls of the Skeld became our shared living room, a pixelated sanctuary where we laughed, accused, and voted each other into the void. Among Us wasn't just a game then; it was a lifeline, a chorus of 'sus' and 'where' echoing through headsets, connecting us across the silent miles. That vibrant, chaotic spirit, born in isolation, has now been forged into something tangible—a collector's dream made real. Innersloth, in a brilliant collaboration with CptnAlex, has unveiled a collection of dedicated Among Us gaming controllers, a physical homage to our digital imposter hunts. This isn't just peripherals; it's a piece of our shared history, crystallized for the console generation.
🎮 The Art of Deception: Controller Designs Unveiled
Each controller in this signature series is a narrative unto itself, a frozen frame from the game's most iconic moments. Holding one feels like clutching a fragment of the game's soul.
-
For the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller: A sleek, menacing Cyan and Red theme dominates. It whispers of the original impostor's palette, a classic color scheme that evokes immediate suspicion and nostalgia. The contrast is stark, beautiful, and undeniably Among Us.
-
For the Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons: This design is pure cinematic thrill. It depicts a shadowy imposter emerging from a vent, the quintessential act of betrayal captured in vivid detail. One glance at your Switch and you're transported back to the panic of a security cam flicker.
-
For Xbox Series X|S and PC: This version boasts a clever dual-theme layout. One side might show the orderly, brightly lit corridors of the ship, while the other slips into the ominous red glow of sabotage. It's the duality of every round—innocence and guilt, crewmate and impostor—held in your hands.
-
For the PlayStation 5 DualSense: Perhaps the most evocative of all. The design graphically displays a crewmate who has met their end, lying discovered on the floor. It’s that moment of shock, the collective gasp in voice chat, immortalized in resin and plastic. The haptic feedback of the DualSense will make every subsequent 'body reported' ping feel all the more visceral.
📦 Unboxing a Legacy: What's in the Box?
This collection transcends mere functionality; it's a premium artifact. Each controller arrives as an event:
| Included Item | Description | The Emotional Payoff |
|---|---|---|
| The Controller Itself | A unique, high-quality gamepad for your platform. | The primary instrument of play, now aesthetically perfected. |
| Authenticity Steel Card | A numbered metal card confirming your controller's place in the limited run. | Proof of ownership in a tiny, exclusive club. It feels official and rare. |
| Cyan Captain Enamel Pin | A charming, detailed pin of a Cyan crewmate in a Captain's hat. | A wearable piece of the lore, a badge of honor for the dedicated fan. |
| Magnetic-Closure Packaging | A beautifully designed box that secures with a satisfying magnetic seal. | The experience begins before you even touch the controller. It’s a keepsake box, meant to be displayed. |
⚠️ The Catch: Rarity & Investment
Here lies the thrilling tension. These are not mass-produced items. Each stunning design is strictly limited to approximately 150 units worldwide. At $165 per controller, this is an investment for the devoted—a tribute to a game that defined an era. The competition to secure one will be fierce, a silent, global scramble mirroring the game's own frantic social deduction. It’s a race against time and fellow fans.
🚀 Securing Your Piece of History
As of now, the gates are open. Pre-orders for this luminous collection are live through the official channels. If your heart is set on one, hesitation is not an option. The anticipated voyage from warehouse to your doorstep is charted for the first quarter of 2025. For those seeking the ultimate prize, explore the even more exclusive Black Box edition or the adorable enamel hard-pin collection, also available for reservation.
To hold one of these controllers is to hold a capsule from a unique time. It’s for the player who remembers the weight of being wrongfully ejected, the giddy power of a perfect kill, and the simple joy of connection when the world felt disconnected. This is more than gear; it's a monument to our digital gatherings, a beautifully crafted thank you note to a community that found color in a spaceship's gray corridors. The question isn't just if you want one—it's if you can secure your place in this very limited legacy before it vanishes into the void, out of stock forever.
