Xbox Canada shows off unusual denim controller

Call it the Xbox Controller "Canadian Tuxedo" edition. Xbox Canada is showing off a quirky and unusual controller for its consoles that is wrapped in denim fabric and even comes with a belt loop and two diminuitive pockets. This is a one of a kind curiosity which appears to be functional and is designed to build some hype while having fun with localized gamers. It is unlikely that we'll see this controller in mass production although Xbox might give some of its favourite gamers and influencers these denim controllers. 

This isn't the first time Microsoft has opted for fabrics in its devices. The Surface line has long had plushy fabrics and even Alcantara which is a high-quality synthetic leather which didn't age well and absorbed grease and dirt. Will we see denim Surface Laptops in the future? It's Microsoft so, who really knows. But we can still enjoy a creative and unusual spin on the Xbox Controller.

HP's "lighter than air" business laptop is now a series thanks to the two newest additions—the Elite Dragonfly Max and Dragonfly G2. Both laptops get Intel's latest 11th-generation chipsets, built-in Tile tracking, and optional 5G connectivity. The G2 is an upgraded model of its predecessor, while the Max is a new machine, which comes with a better webcam and a new Sparkling Black option on top of the original blue colour.

The Dragonfly G2 and Max vary when it comes to the display configurations and webcams. The Max will only have a 13.3-inch HD display, while the G2 gets HD and 4K options. Both still have HP's privacy-oriented screen that tints the screen when people are passing by.
