Microsoft’s official Xbox controller is available for a steal

Xbox’s official wireless controller rarely dips this low, and right now you can get one with a £20 discount.

The deal is on the Xbox Wireless Controller, down to £39.99 from its usual £59.99, a saving of £20 that works out to a third off the recommended retail price for Microsoft’s current-generation official pad.

A controller at this level from Microsoft rarely dips under forty pounds, which makes the current price feel less like a routine discount and more like a rare window worth acting on before it closes.

More than three thousand people bought this exact controller in the past month, and it currently ranks as the best selling controller for Xbox Series X and S, backed by a 4.6 star rating from 3,114 global ratings.

Every surface a thumb or finger actually touches during a session has been redesigned with a textured grip, from the triggers and bumpers to the back case, so the pad stays planted in your hands through long, sweaty sessions.

The new hybrid D-pad brings a level of precision that fighting game and platformer fans notice the moment they line up a combo or a jump. Plugging in over USB-C means it charges and plays through the same cable, so there is no separate dock cluttering the desk.

A dedicated Share button on the Xbox Wireless Controller lets you capture and send off a screenshot or a clip the instant something worth keeping happens on screen, without ever pausing the action to dig back through menus to find it.

Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth support mean the same pad pairs with a Series X|S console, an Xbox One, a Windows PC, or a compatible phone or tablet without buying a separate adapter, and the Xbox Accessories app lets you remap every button to taste.

If you are still gaming on the pad that came in the box, or nursing a worn-out controller that no longer feels reliable, £39.99 makes the Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black an easy upgrade to make now.
