I've seen some attempts at making clear casings for new stuff, it's shit.

It worked in the 90s/early 00s because those controllers/handhelds were half empty space, a simple circuit board and a few bulky components.

Nowadays most of the time there would just be a big metal shield and a huge battery covering everything, and since it's so packed inside it doesn't really catch the light.

Like the translucent Xbox controllers ms released a couple of years ago. It basically has a shell underneath the shell.

That photo looks awesome, wonder if it’s as cool in the real world.
