Get a wireless Xbox One controller for $40

By published

For when you don't want to use a keyboard and mouse.

If you're looking to supplement your mouse and keyboard with a game controller—some games are just better suited for a controller—you can snag a wireless Xbox One controller for $40 at Amazon.

We lean towards the PlayStation DualShock 4 when shunning our keyboard and mouse, but it's largely a matter of preference. Either way, it's always nice to catch one on sale. That's the case right now for the Xbox One wireless controller, which is currently marked to $50 at most places. However, Amazon has them beat at $40.

The Xbox One controller is compatible with Windows 10 via Bluetooth. It has a textured grip and a built-in 3.5mm stereo headset jack.

What more is there to say? It's a game controller, it's on sale, and you can find it here.

The controller takes up much of the frame, but is clearly much smaller than both of the keyboards. The controller body is made of cloudy, clear plastic, allowing the viewer to see the internals.
