Translucent green is having its moment, and honestly? It looks even better than it did back in 2001. Xbox is deep in its 25th anniversary celebrations, and the collaboration with Razer might be one of the cleanest things to come out of it. Three of Razer’s most popular peripherals — reimagined in that nostalgic see-through green that made the original Xbox so distinct — are now available to buy right now. If you were a kid who had one of those early Xbox controllers and felt something in your chest when you saw these, that’s normal. That’s just nostalgia hitting different.
The Full Razer Xbox 25th Anniversary Lineup
There are three products in the Razer Xbox 25 Anniversary Collection, all of them available now on Razer.com with free standard US shipping on orders over $99. Here’s the breakdown on each one.
Razer Blackwidow V4 75% — $209.99
The compact 75% layout makes the Blackwidow V4 a desk-friendly option that doesn’t sacrifice too much functionality. The anniversary edition comes factory-fitted with Razer Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches — a quieter tactile option that’s solid for both gaming sessions and general typing without the loud clack of linear or clicky switches. The switches are hot-swappable too, supporting any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch, so if you’ve got a preferred switch type you want to drop in, that’s completely on the table.
The star feature exclusive to this anniversary edition is the dedicated Xbox Guide Button. On a Windows PC it pulls up the Xbox Game Bar instantly; on an Xbox console it opens the quick guide — the same function as pressing the home button on a controller. It’s a genuinely useful addition rather than a gimmick. There’s also dual-sided underglow RGB and a magnetic leatherette wrist rest included. The whole thing is wrapped in that translucent green casing with anniversary branding, and it looks sharp.
Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K — $179.99
The Basilisk V3 Pro 35K is Razer’s flagship wireless ergonomic mouse and one of the most customisable mice on the market right now, so getting it in the Xbox anniversary colourway is a solid win for anyone who was already considering it. The headline spec is the Razer Focus Pro 35K Optical Sensor Gen-2 — one of the sharpest sensors available in any gaming mouse — alongside the configurable HyperScroll Tilt Wheel that lets you switch between free-spinning and tactile scrolling.
You get 13 customisable controls, Razer HyperSpeed Wireless connectivity, and up to 140 hours of battery life via the included USB dongle — compatible with both PC and Xbox console. For anyone who prefers wired, the supplied USB cable handles that too. The Xbox Guide Button is present here as well, exclusive to the anniversary edition. Chroma RGB lighting rounds it out, all controllable through Razer Synapse.
Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed — $119.99
The earbuds entry in the collection brings wireless audio with a 35-hour total battery life when combined with the included charging case. The Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed runs on 2.4GHz low-latency wireless alongside Bluetooth 5.3, with SmartSwitch technology letting you jump between connections smoothly. It’s rated IPX4 for water resistance too, so gaming sessions that get a little heated don’t put the earbuds at risk.
Like the keyboard and mouse, the anniversary edition comes in translucent green with the Xbox Xbox Guide Button integration and Razer Chroma RGB lighting. For console, PC, and mobile use across a long session, 35 hours of combined battery is a genuinely comfortable margin.
The Xbox Guide Button Is the Exclusive Feature Worth Noting
Across all three products, the dedicated Xbox Guide Button is the key thing that separates these anniversary editions from their standard counterparts. It’s not just a remapped key — it’s a purpose-built Xbox integration that functions differently depending on where you’re using it. Pull up Game Bar on Windows with a single press, or navigate the Xbox console interface without reaching for your controller. For a dual PC-and-Xbox setup, that kind of seamless switching is a practical convenience that standard Razer products don’t offer.
The anniversary editions sit at roughly a $20 premium over the standard versions of each product, which is a reasonable ask for the limited colourway plus the exclusive Xbox key functionality.
The Broader Xbox 25th Anniversary Hardware Picture
The Razer collection is just one part of a bigger anniversary hardware push from Xbox this year. The Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition ($79.99) is also available now, sporting translucent green casing with white and black LB and RB buttons as a deliberate callback to the original Duke controller layout. It’s functionally identical to a standard Xbox controller but looks like something collectors are going to want on their shelf.
More ambitiously, the Xbox Series X X25 Limited Edition 1TB Disc Drive console is available for pre-order at $899.99 — quantities are limited and this one is clearly aimed at the hardcore collector end of the market. That semi-transparent green shell with the glowing front logo is striking, and it’s the kind of limited hardware that tends to disappear fast once it officially releases in November to mark the actual 25th anniversary date.
The broader Designed for Xbox 25th Anniversary Collection also includes third-party products from 8BitDo (a translucent charging dock for Xbox controllers), Backbone Pro anniversary edition mobile controllers, a GameSir X5 Lite mobile controller in anniversary green, and a PowerA Sling Bag. It’s a wide ecosystem of accessories built around the same translucent green aesthetic, giving fans multiple price points to buy into the celebration.
Why the Translucent Green Hits Different
Here’s the thing about this aesthetic choice — it wasn’t just a design decision. Translucent green became a symbol of something in late 2001. The original Xbox launched in November of that year as Microsoft’s first shot at the living room, going up against the dominant PS2 and the beloved GameCube. It was big, loud, and unapologetic, and that see-through green was part of what made it feel different from everything else on the market at the time. It helped that the console launched with Halo: Combat Evolved, which ended up redefining what a console FPS could be.
Twenty-five years later, that colour carries all of that history. Putting it on modern Razer hardware isn’t just a cosmetic move — it’s a piece of gaming culture from one of the most significant console launches in the medium’s history. And the fact that the current Xbox hardware lineup is increasingly leaning back toward console exclusivity with titles like Clockwork Revolution and Gears of War: E-Day makes this anniversary feel like a genuine moment of reflection for the brand, not just a marketing exercise.
If you’re picking any of these up, the Blackwidow V4 75% is the standout for dedicated PC players given the keyboard ecosystem, while the Basilisk V3 Pro 35K is the premium pick for mouse-focused setups. The Hammerhead earbuds are the best value entry point into the collection for most people. All three ship free in the US on Razer.com for orders above $99, which covers each product individually.
