Through today, the 2025 Xbox gaming controller has dropped from $65 to as low as just $50. That amount to a savings of $15."
"The company behind PlayStation has been adding new bells and whistles to the original DualShock controller design. We've seen innovations like a touchpad or haptic triggers. These can be cool gimmicks, but most games don't utilize to their full extent if at all. See at Amazon Xbox decided to do things differently. They locked down the current controller design back in 2013 with the Xbox One launch and said, "Yeah this works.""
"There have been some minor innovations since then like the addition of Bluetooth support, a share button, and the change to the now standard USB-C. Though those have been just to keep up with the times. The basic structure, layout, and feel of the controller are mostly unchanged. This certainly comes down to personal preference, but the D-pad on the Xbox controller puts the first party D-pad of the PS5 and Nintendo Switch to shame."
The 2025 Xbox Core Wireless Controller is discounted from $65 to $50 during Prime Big Deals Days, saving $15. The controller delivers a consistent ergonomic layout established since 2013 with the Xbox One launch. Incremental updates added Bluetooth, a share button, and USB-C while preserving the core structure, layout, and feel.
