8Bitdo makes some of our favorite controllers for all manner of consoles and gaming rigs, and now you can pick an Xbox controller of theirs up for only $30. The 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox is 33 percent off and down to just about a record-low price. Considering first-party Xbox controllers can be around $60, this is an especially good deal.
This controller may be more affordable, but it's not a cheap knockoff. It’s licensed by Xbox and compatible with the Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One and Windows 10 and above; that means you can switch back and forth and use it with your console and PC.
