Why you should buy the Xbox Wireless Controller

One of the best Xbox Series X controllers for a typical day’s gaming, the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller is always a good addition to your collection.

Next to the standard set of buttons, there’s a Share button so if you’re keen to capture and share content like screenshots or video clips, you can do so at a quick tap of a button without stretching too far. Alternatively, you can use the Xbox Accessories app to remap buttons and set up custom controller profiles that suit your needs, with different profiles available for different games. If you like to always feel in full control of what you’re doing, it’s worth dipping into remapping things.

The Xbox Wireless Controller also has sculpted surfaces and refined geometry so it always feels good in your hands. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headsets or you can choose to use Bluetooth instead alongside some of the other best Xbox Series X accessories. The Xbox Wireless Controller works with the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and Android, so you have plenty of functionality here.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is currently just $44 for either the White or Carbon Black controller at Walmart. A sweet saving of $16, this is a pretty hefty and unusual discount on a highly sought-after accessory. Check it out now before you miss out on the large savings.
