The Xbox One will soon be overshadowed by the Xbox Series X and Series S, but that doesn’t mean that the console should be forgotten altogether.

There are many reasons for buying a new Xbox Wireless Controller, first and foremost to replace a worn out controller after years of abuse from playing. You may also want to buy an extra controller if you’re attracted to the color, or to be able to play with family members since everyone’s staying home more often.

The Xbox Wireless Controller, however, is not limited in compatibility with only the Xbox One and its variants. Through Bluetooth, you can use the controller for gaming sessions on Windows 10 PCs and tablets, for games where keyboards and touchscreens are not the ideal input device. Additionally, for less latency, you can connect the controller to your gaming device through a micro USB cable.
The Xbox Wireless Controller is a solid gaming peripheral that serves its purpose well. Extra controllers are always a good idea for any gaming platform, and that holds true for the Xbox One.

It’s unclear how long the offer will last, so if you need or want a new controller, you should take advantage of the offer now.
