I genuinely had to double-take when I saw this lowest-ever price for the Xbox Wireless Controller at Amazon. Not only was Microsoft rapid in restocking the Xbox Wireless Controller at the retailer after a busy Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but it's only priced them lower than what was available during the sales event.

Right now, the Carbon Black Xbox Wireless Controller (that's the standard model that ships with Xbox Series X consoles) is down to just $38.88 (was $59.99) at Amazon. As far as I can tell, that's a new record-low price for the Carbon Black variant. Where was this over Black Friday, eh?

If plain black isn't your bag, the gorgeous Deep Pink colorway is also enjoying a generous discount right now. It's at just $45 (was $64.99) at Amazon. The sublime Ghost Cipher variant has also dropped back down to an impressive $45.49 (was $69.99). Check below for a breakdown of all the best Xbox Wireless Controller discounts at Amazon right now.

Is the Xbox Wireless Controller the flashiest, most eye-catching controller around? No, but for its price, it offers a complete and compelling no-frills package that always feels great to play with across both Xbox consoles and PC.

It remains in our best Xbox controllers guide for a reason. Excellent build quality, reliable performance and fantastic battery life when paired with the Xbox Play & Charge Kit make it a real workhorse of a controller - even if it's lacking in the fancier features of more premium third-party gamepads.
