The Ultimate Wired Controller by 8Bitdo for Xbox hits a historic low price of $29.

The 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox is available on Amazon for just $29, reaching a historic low price with a 36% discount. This deal is quite attractive considering that official Xbox controllers typically cost around $60.

It's worth noting that this is not just a simple copy; 8Bitdo is a brand recognized for the quality of its controllers, which frequently appear on lists of the best devices. This model has the official Xbox license and is compatible with Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and later, allowing it to be used on both consoles and PCs.

The controller includes two additional buttons on the back, which are not present on the official controller, making it especially useful for function mapping in PC games. Additionally, it offers customization options for button configuration and sensitivity of the sticks and triggers, providing users with precise control over vibration.

The Hall effect joysticks and impulse triggers are designed to enhance the durability and sensitivity of the controller while reducing the issue of "drift." It also features a 3.5 mm audio jack at the back, allowing for direct connection of headphones. Among other features, it has a classic d-pad and improved grip.

However, it's important to note that this is a wired controller, which has its pros and cons. Wired controllers offer lower latency, making them the preferred choice for professional players, but they have the disadvantage of keeping the user tethered to a cable. It comes with a cable that's almost ten feet long, which is relatively extensive, but the range of a standard Bluetooth controller is about 20 feet.
