Saving money is good normally, but especially when you’re buying something that’s not essential. Life is to be enjoyed, sure, but money only goes so far, so it can really help to get in on great deals for your hobbies. If you’ve been hoping to do that with an excellent gaming controller, then you might have been waiting for a while. The good news though, is that that wait is over. You can get a great deal right now.

A lot of people consider the Xbox Gaming Controller to be one of the best options out there. It’s not the fanciest, it’s not the most expensive, but it’s incredibly versatile, and really comfortable. While it’d normally cost you $65, today’s deal means you can pick it up for $49 instead. If you want to get in on this, then be quick about it, because we’re not expecting this discount to last for long.

Game On

The Xbox Gaming Controller is one you can use with Xbox consoles, PCs, a lot of phones, and even Fire TV devices. If you can get Xbox Cloud Gaming on it, which is on a lot of things now, then you can use this to game on it. Along with that, it’s incredibly comfortable, and it’ll be easy to use all-day-long, if you somehow manage to carve out a full day to do so. The layout is also the best out there, and with it being considered the standard for most games anyway, so most games will have all of the right button prompts for it too.

It’s also wireless, so you don’t have to worry about where you’re sitting, but you can play wired if you don’t want to have to deal with the battery life. The only real downside to this controller is the battery thing too. It has no built-in battery, which means you’ll want to look into getting either rechargeable batteries, or rechargeable battery packs. Both can be a lot cheaper than you’d expect though, and if you go for batteries, you can use them in plenty of other things as well. That’s a very small issue though, everything else about the controller is top tier.

This is an amazing way to play your games, and this discount means it’s also a lot cheaper than usual. If you’ve wanted to pick one up, then doing so while it’s just $49 is an on offer you can’t refuse.
