If you give away an Xbox Series S or X as a gift this year, or even buy one for yourself, you have a chance to get an additional $40 Xbox Core controller. In September, we saw an even more modest 26 percent discount on the Xbox Core controller, but this sale from Amazon and Microsoft is in line with the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. Right now there is a 35% discount on the black and white version of the official gamepad, as well as a nice 31% discount on the lime green (aka electric volt) color scheme. Some special edition Core controllers are also on sale, such as the Shimmery Moonshift at $20 off.
A new Xbox console will be a popular gift this year, and extra controllers are great for local multiplayer or if you just want to have a backup handy. The Core controller features textured touch buttons, customizable button mappings, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. They run on two AA batteries, including your first set, and provide approximately 40 hours of playback on a single charge.
If you want more comfort and customization, as well as a rechargeable battery, you can try one of the Xbox Elite controllers. They only see 8% of the regular $180, but they will still save you $15. Or, to eliminate annoying Bluetooth lag, Amazon also sells a wireless adapter for the Xbox controller. The controller connects to any Xbox console or Windows PC via Bluetooth, or connects the dongle to the computer to eliminate the lag some people experience when using a Bluetooth connection. The adapter also allows you to connect up to eight controllers for local multiplayer.
