Amazon's hosting one of the best Xbox controller deals we've ever seen as part of its early Black Friday sales.

Black Friday Xbox controller deals will be a dime a dozen when Black Friday properly hits on November 25, but right now, the Robot White Xbox Series X|S controller has had its price slashed to just $39. That's a record-low discount for the pad, down from its usual retail price of $59.99. (Not in the US? Scroll down for deals in your region).

Other color variants have also been discounted, though not quite as steeply. But if you fancy something snazzier than the default Robot White, you can pick up the Electric Volt, Shock Blue, Mineral Camo, or Lunar Shift Xbox controllers while stocks last. The Carbon Black Xbox controller is also just shy of its lowest-ever price at $39.99.

We're hopeful that the wider Black Friday Xbox Series X deals can yield further discounts on gamepads, accessories, and Xbox Series X games. With that said, if you're after a controller on this side of the sales, then you'll find top offers below.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is the one you get out of the box when buying a brand new Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S console. But just because it's the default option doesn't mean it's average.

Far from it, actually. The quality build of the pad can be felt upon first holding it for yourself. And just like Xbox controllers from prior generations, Microsoft continues its penchant for ergonomics, grip and comfort with its latest pad.

If you're looking for something a bit more involved, then the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 might be more to your liking. With extra features like back paddle buttons, customizable profiles and trigger dead zone settings, it's a superb option for more seasoned gamers looking to take their skills up a notch. It is, however, much more expensive, and not as prone to steep discounts.
