Microsoft’s Xbox wireless controller has been a staple for millions of gamers worldwide. While it’s durable and comfortable to use, its longevity ultimately depends on your frequency of usage. As one of the favorite controllers among gamers, this device stands out for its seamless Bluetooth connectivity and wide-ranging compatibility with PC games. Whether used with Steam or the PC Game Pass app, it’s an excellent choice, and can even be paired with mobile devices or tablets.
The Xbox controller typically retails for $59.99, a relatively modest premium compared to gamepads from other console manufacturers. At present, this option is remarkably affordable compared to its competitors at Woot, priced at $39.99 in black, complete with a USB-C cable for those who prefer the reliability of a wired connection. The Sony DualSense controller’s price tag is nearly double that of its predecessor, retailing at a new price of $74.99.
