If you play a lot of games on Xbox, eventually you’ll need an extra controller. Whether you want one to keep your batteries charged or you need one for your player 2, you can always use another on tap. The Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller + USB-C Cable (2025) is the perfect pickup. It’s the same thing you’d get with the system itself, and this package includes a USB-C cable as well.
A sturdy, reliable, long-lasting Xbox controller
The Carbon Black controller set includes a hybrid D-pad and textured grips on the triggers, bumpers, and back case. These are the types of details you become aware of during longer gaming sessions. The type of detail that matters more than cosmetic details, as it relates to the feel of the controller when rapid input begins. The controller’s modernized design is intended to remain comfortable and not bulky. This is exactly what you would want out of a controller that you intend to use across multiple gaming platforms.
In addition to Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth, this controller can be paired with Xbox, Windows, Android, iOS, Fire TV Stick, Smart TVs, and VR Headsets. Compatibility across many gaming platforms will allow users to easily keep the controller in rotation rather than tying it to a single console. A 3.5 mm audio headset jack is also added for users who still prefer a simple wired headset connection.
A dedicated Share button has also been added to quickly capture screenshots and recordings without navigating additional menu options. However, a seemingly small feature, the ability to easily capture moments in games is one of those conveniences that you will find yourself using frequently once it exists. The user can also customize button mappings in the Xbox Accessories application. This will provide users with more control over how the pad responds without making the setup process cumbersome.
This is a great price for a first-party controller that offers both wireless connectivity and a 9-foot USB-C cable. At the normal price of $64.99 for the category, although not outrageous, this discounted price makes this a significantly better value if you’re looking for a controller you can use with console, PC, and mobile hardware. With all the games still coming out the rest of the year and beyond, it’s a good time to go ahead and be ready with a new controller. You never know when you’re going to need another one, so prepare yourself now.
