Of the three major gaming consoles, the Xbox Series X / S may have the most diverse controller selection, but Microsofts basic Xbox Wireless Controller is still the best Xbox controller for most people. Thats mostly because its the cheapest one you can buy with native support for Xboxs built-in wireless protocol (you can also use it with PC and mobile via Bluetooth or USB-C), but its also just really solid overall.Its hard to beat the value, especially when theyre on sale for as low as $39, just a few dollars more than their all-time low, as they are in select colors at Amazon and Walmart right now. Thatll get you the basic crop of colors such as black, white, and blue. You can spend a bit more to get the awesome translucent models, which are starting at $57.50 (about $12 off) at Amazon and Walmart.Xbox Wireless Controller$39$6035% off$39The official Xbox Wireless Controller has a dedicated share button for saving clips and screenshots and sharing them online, Bluetooth support, and a USB-C port for charging up Microsofts play-and-charge rechargeable battery.The Xbox Wireless Controller isnt loaded with fancy features and gimmicks like newer, more expensive controllers. You cant easily remove or replace any of its parts, for example, nor does it have back buttons, sensitivity adjustments, or built-in means for customizing and swapping button mapping configurations. But it still sets the standard for how a controller should look, feel, and work. The ergonomic shape and button layout are still the most widely emulated of any controller, perhaps ever.Some people still scoff that it doesnt have a rechargeable internal battery, but thats a point in its favor. Its versatile battery bay lets you either use standard AA batteries or slot in a rechargeable pack. Some of those batteries offer much more play time than controllers with built-in batteries. Youll never have to plug it in or dock it if you have a charged spare handy, and you wont have to dismantle an entire controller or shell out for a replacement once they run drySee More:
