Deadpool Gamepad
Unique controller design
Microsoft pleased fans with an unusual new product - the Xbox Cheeky Controller gamepad, created based on the popular comic book character Deadpool. A distinctive feature of the device was its back side, which imitates the “perfectly rounded buttocks” of a superhero.
Advertising campaign for the new film
The release of this original gadget is timed to coincide with the premiere of the film "Deadpool and Wolverine". Microsoft says the controller "embodies Deadpool's steel buttocks in a firm yet surprisingly comfortable grip." The appearance of the device completely replicates the character's red and black combat suit, including characteristic elements and belts.
Specifications
Despite the non-standard design and additional weight, the new gamepad is functionally no different from conventional models. However, it remains unclear how the battery compartment located on the rear panel will be accessed.
How to get Xbox Cheeky Controller
Unfortunately, you won't be able to purchase this unique gamepad in stores. The only opportunity to become its owner is to participate in a lottery organized by Microsoft. Lucky people from all over the world will be able to win a Deadpool themed Xbox Series X console with katanas and two Xbox Cheeky Controllers. To participate, you must subscribe to your Xbox account on social network X and repost the corresponding publication. The promotion will last until August 11, 2024.
Additional Offers
For residents of North America and Canada, Microsoft is partnering with EXG Pro to offer the exclusive Cable Guys Deadpool Controller Holder. It will be available to the first thousand buyers of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 gamepad in the official Microsoft store.
News about the film
A new teaser for the film "Deadpool and Wolverine" called "Everyone" was recently presented . It shows the variety of alternate versions of Deadpool from parallel universes. In addition to the characters of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, viewers will see Ladypool (Wanda Wilson), Dogpool and Cowboy Deadpool (known in the comics as Kid Deadpool). Probably, the filmmakers have prepared many more surprises for fans of the talkative mercenary.

Wow, wow! Microsoft really surprised Deadpool with this gamepad 😂 I wonder how comfortable it will be to play with such “buttocks of steel”?
Giovanni
Lena, I can already imagine how I will explain to my girlfriend why I need a controller with a superhero’s butt 🙈 But it looks really cool! I wonder how they solved the problem with the battery compartment?
Sophie
Giovanni, maybe there's a secret button there? 😉 By the way, I would love to take part in the draw, but the chances of winning are probably minimal. Will you try?
Klaus
Eh, young people... You always fall for these marketing tricks. Why do you need a gamepad with an ass? It would be better to do something really useful, and not this nonsense.
Amelia
Klaus, don't be such a grump! 😄 This is fun and original. I personally am delighted with the idea and will definitely take part in the drawing. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!
Pierre
Amelia, I completely agree! Collaborations like this are a great way to bring attention to the film and the Xbox brand. And the Cable Guys stand is absolutely fire! 🔥 It's a pity that it's only for North America.
Olena
Guys, have you seen the new trailer for 'Deadpool and Wolverine'? There are so many different versions of Deadpool! Ladypool and Dogpool are something 😍 I wonder if there will be separate controllers for them?
Giovanni
Olena, that would be cool! Can you imagine a gamepad in the shape of Dogpool's dog face? 🐶 But seriously, well done Microsoft - such creative marketing will not leave any fan indifferent.
