Razer Wolverine V3 Pro: was $199.99 now $159.99 at Amazon

My favorite premium Xbox controller is now even easier to recommend thanks to this current Black Friday discount. It's simply one of the best gamepads I've used in recent years, with sublime build quality and lovely features like Hall effect sticks and Razer's own mouse click tech for the other buttons.

Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition: was $99.99 now $59.99 at Amazon

At 40% off, this is quite frankly a rather absurd discount that takes one of the best wired Xbox controllers down to a staggeringly low price. There's no wireless connectivity option here, and some elements of build quality take a slight hit, but it's otherwise a comparable experience to the marquee product.

I've used the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro for well over a year now, and it's comfortably sat in the premium spot in our best Xbox controllers buying guide. And if you don't own an Xbox, fear not; it's fully compatible with PC and even comes with a 2.4GHz USB dongle for wireless connectivity there.

There are so many luxurious features here. Razer utilizes its mouse-click tech in the Wolverine V3 Pro, allowing for incredibly tactile and responsive rear remappable buttons, bumpers, and digital trigger presses (should you choose to use them via the trigger locks). Throw in wireless connectivity, Hall effect sticks, and optional claw grip bumpers, and you have a premium controller that's great for both casual and competitive play.

But you shouldn't sleep on the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition, either, if you'd prefer a budget purchase. Its build quality isn't quite on par with the V3 Pro, and you're only getting wired connectivity here. But other features like those sticks and mouse-click-like buttons are all present, allowing for a comparable gaming experience.
