PC gamers have a number of worthy Xbox controllers to choose from, as we learned in our evaluation of the most popular models from Microsoft and third parties.
Razer's Wolverine V2 controller has a lot going for it—a nice design, satisfyingly clicky mechanical buttons, and customization options—but it's wired, and that, along with its premium price, could make it a tough sell.
The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 Core is expensive but it improves upon the base model Xbox controller with customizable profiles and broad compatibility.
Text expanders save time, but relying on third party programs becomes an issue of trust. It's finally time for Microsoft to step up and include their own version of the macOS text expander.
If you're in need of a second controller for your Xbox, but don't want to shell out for the expensive wireless options, then look no further than the PowerA Enhanced Xbox controller. For half of the price, you get almost all of the same features.
The 2020 Xbox Wireless Controller is the most recent version of the iconic controller from Microsoft. It has everything fans love about the older models and adds a few new features to improve on an already great design.
