Deal | Xbox’s highly rated wireless gaming controller (2025) with 40 hours of playtime gets steep discount on Amazon

Right now, the Xbox Amazon storefront is offering a decent 23% discount on its highly rated wireless gaming controller, meaning gamers can buy it for just $49.99 instead of the original list price of $64.99. According to Camel’s price history, this deal marks the lowest-ever price for this model. It’s worth noting that this is a limited-time deal and is only available for a carbon black colorway. 

Unlike the 8BitDo Ultimate 3 wireless controller with Hall Effect joysticks, the Xbox controller features rubber-coated textured thumbsticks. On the positive side, it offers up to 40 hours of playtime via two AA batteries. Alongside the wireless connectivity, the controller also supports wired connectivity via USB-C for direct plug-and-play. 

The controller has universal compatibility. For example, gamers can connect the controller to Xbox, Windows 10/11 PCs, Android, iOS, smart TVs, and VR headsets. On top of that, you can also switch between devices effortlessly. The controller doesn’t offer extreme customizations like the Scuf Envision Pro, but it offers some basic customizations like custom button mapping via the Xbox Accessories app. 

If we take a look at the Amazon reviews, the wireless gaming controller has scored a solid 4.6 out of 5 stars across 20,610 user ratings, with customers all for its comfortable form factor, universal compatibility, and decent battery life. 

All told, the Xbox wireless gaming controller seems like a pretty good option for those who want a basic wireless controller with decent battery life. Interested buyers can learn more about the controller in the review attached below.
