Aeon Pro review: a premium Xbox/PC controller with a swappable battery future

The Verge reviews SteelSeries’ Aeon Pro wireless controller for Xbox and PC, priced at $259.99, highlighting its on-device OLED screen for switching between Xbox, PC, and Bluetooth, genre-based presets, and remapping via the controller or GG PC app. It also features a swappable-battery system with a wireless base station that can automatically swap sources, plus Hall-effect joysticks, mechanical switches, two-position trigger stops, and four rear paddles. However, the high price, absence of a zip-up case, and availability of cheaper, capable alternatives (Steam Controller, DualSense Edge, 8BitDo Ultimate 3E) make upgrading counterintuitive for most buyers.
