You can purchase the genuine Xbox Wireless Controller for $44.

That price is almost a record low.

Usually, having an additional controller on hand is a good idea. When a friend wants to play a local multiplayer game with you, you don’t want to be left behind. It’s always nice to be able to swap to a different gamepad when the power runs out. It’s also handy to be able to fit an additional controller and a phone clip into your backpack for online play. Thus, the news that the official Xbox Wireless Controller is now available for purchase may please you. In white, black, and red, it’s now only $44, and other hues are available for $49.

Xbox Wireless Controller

Right now, the price of an Xbox Wireless Controller is almost record-low, making it an excellent option for gamers on a variety of platforms.

Although it’s not quite as cheap as the previous record of $39, this is still a good offer. Typically, the peripheral costs $60 at retail.

The Xbox Series X/S is intended to use the controller’s most recent version. The arrangement is still what Xbox enthusiasts have grown accustomed to over the past 20 years. The joysticks are smooth, and the face buttons and triggers are responsive. The Xbox Controller’s d-pad is clickpier than the DualSense’s, but lacking Sony’s PS5 gamepad’s immersive haptics and adjustable triggers.

Additionally, the peripheral pairs with Windows PCs, phones, and tablets with ease via Bluetooth, and it has a useful Share button for taking screenshots and recording gameplay. It’s important to remember that the Xbox controller requires two AA batteries to operate. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to get a set of rechargeable AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack unless you want to change out batteries on a frequent basis.
