"Controllers wear out, drift develops and replacement costs add up quickly when you're paying $60-70 for a new one. Microsoft's Xbox wireless controller just dropped to an all-time low of $49 on Amazon (down from $64) and this isn't just an Xbox accessory anymore. This controller works across Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, Android and iOS devices, Fire TV Sticks, smart TVs and even VR headsets which makes it one of the most compatible gaming controllers available."
"The hybrid D-pad is an evolution of functionality beyond earlier Xbox controllers: It integrates the precision of an old-school cross-shaped D-pad and the smooth motion of a circular disc, providing you with increased control while playing fighting games, platformers, and menus. Faceted construction gives you tactile feedback so you'll be able to learn which way you are pressing without glancing down which makes the difference in fast-paced titles where keeping your eyes on the screen and off your thumbs makes all the difference."
