Gaming is pretty expensive at this point. We’ve gone from being in the golden age of affordability, with a mass of free games, the more budget console options, and great peripherals, to one in which every price is climbing higher. It’s a little bleak, and prices don’t look they’re coming back down anytime soon, so it pays to be smart with how you spend your money. That means going for quality devices when they’re on sale, because they’ll last longer, and they’re better value for money.
If you’re in the market for a new controller, that means going for the Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller today, because it’s on sale for $60. That’s $10 off the usual price, and this thing will last you absolutely ages. This discount pops up here and there, but it rarely lasts for long, so if you do fancy this, we recommend being quick about it.
Game On
The Xbox controllers have always been good, but the latest iteration really is something special. The comfort is incredibly high, with not only a great shape, with everything button being in a place that feels natural, but also a textured grip to help make sure you can game for hours on end with no discomfort. That’s true even if you’re sweating, although you should wipe your controller regularly if that’s the case, don’t be gross. You can game for absolutely ages too, thanks to how efficient the battery usage is. We do recommend picking up a rechargeable battery pack alongside this though, as it has no built-in battery.
Outside of that, it has a 3.5mm audio jack to allow you to reduce the length of wires around you and connect to it for your audio, for both in-game chat and the game itself. You can also customize a lot of the controls to find the perfect fit for your needs, which can be huge if you’re someone who likes something specific when you’re gaming. It then has standard stuff like great wireless connectivity and range, but can also be used with a mass of different devices including not only Xbox consoles, but PCs, and even your phone.
This is one of the best controllers out there, and that includes the immensely expensive high-end ones. It’s comfortable, responsive, and you can use it for loads of platforms. So, being able to pick it up while it’s down to just $60 is a chance you don’t want to miss out on.
