Cheapest Xbox controller deals - FAQs

Where can I find the best cheap Xbox controller deals?

Generally speaking you can find some of the best cheapest Xbox controller deals at Amazon in the US, the UK, and Australia but more region specific retailers like Best Buy in the US, Currys in the UK, and JB Hi-Fi in Australia have some of the most competitive offers. 

Are cheap Xbox controllers worth it?

While budget Xbox controller offerings from the likes of PowerA and PDP perform functionally identical, you aren't going to have the same weight and build quality as with the OEM gamepad that comes with your Xbox Series X or Xbox One console. With that said, if you want something cheap then they will be more than enough without breaking the bank. 

How we choose the best Xbox controller deals

Xbox controller deals are usually plentiful among the company's first-party offerings. As a result, each month, we endeavor to find the best prices on a range of official gamepads and colorways across a broad selection of retailers. As stock is plentiful, we run into deals much more often than on competing hardware. That means that there's likely always going to be a strong selection of discounts no matter where you live.
