Gaming isn’t exactly cheap right now. Consoles keep going up in price, despite the fact that they’re older than they were. On top of that, games are threatening larger price tags too. It’s a little rough, and it means that a lot of us are entirely deals-based organisms now. Saving money is a must, so making sure you’re making smart decisions on doing so is really important. We’re always hunting for good deals on peripherals though, because they’re always going to help.
Today one of the best gaming controllers is on sale. The Xbox Wireless Controller might not have the flippers and flappers of the high-end controllers, but it’s still exceptional. It’s also usually going to cost you $65, but not today. The 21% discount it has on Amazon means you can pick it up for $52 right now, and that’s just good old-fashioned value for money.
Game On
This controller has a textured grip, which makes it easier to hold on to, but also makes it more comfortable, even if you’re gaming for hours on end. You can use it wired with a USB-C cable, but it’s also wireless as long as you have batteries for it. We recommend grabbing a battery pack or something if you’re going to be using this one a lot, as it’ll save you a fair bit of money on actual batteries. You’ll be able to use it a lot too, as it’s not only compatible with your Xbox consoles, but also your PC, your mobile phone, and even your TV. It’s compatible to an absurd level.
You can also customize a lot of what it does using the Xbox Accessories app, which means you can figure out the control configuration that works best for you. It also has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can plug a headset into it directly to have sound and voice chat within arm’s reach. On top of that, if we’re all being honest, it’s the best button layout as well. You know it to be true, the sticks shouldn’t be symmetrical.
You can spend a lot of money on a new controller if you want to, but the fact is that being able to pick this up alongside a cable for just $52 is amazing value for money. You’re not going to get a better gaming deal than this one today, so if you want it, go ahead and treat yourself.
