I’ve written before about my love for the standard Xbox Series Wireless Controller, which provide a comfortable feel, responsive controls and laudable build quality for a default console gamepad. These units normally retail for $64.99 in the US, but today the Electric Volt colour is down to $39.99 at Walmart.

These controllers are well worth picking up for genres that benefit from them, like racing, action-adventure, platformers and fighting games. They’re also a great shout for emulators, if you’re into those, and the choice of USB-C, Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless connections means that you can use them with a wide range of PC and non-PC devices, from Steam Decks and laptops to desktops, tablets, smartphones and so on. I personally recommend picking up anXbox Wireless Adapterfor use with machines with full-size USB ports, as the reduction in wireless latency is nice to have, but honestly these controllers work well over Bluetooth too.

If you’re not a fan of the Electric Volt colour shown above, then no worries - you can also pick up the controller inred for $44orblack for $48, both small discounts from the regular price of these gamepads.
