Microsoft released three new Xbox One controllers today, including one that looks like a throwback to the Xbox 360.

The new controllers popped up on the Microsoft online store today with three new designs: Volcano Shadow Special Edition, Patrol Tech Special Edition, and Gray and Green. The special edition controllers both cost $70 and the Gray and Green controller costs $65.

The Volcano Shadow controller, which has the best name of the three, has a deep orange color that fades up into a dark, smokey gray.

The Patrol Tech controller has some laser-etched designs on its face and is a blue variation of the Recon Tech controller.

The Gray and Green controller takes a page right out of the original light-gray and green aesthetic of the original Xbox 360.

All three controllers are wireless compatible with the Xbox One and can connect with PCs via a wireless adapter.
