If you ask me, the best widely manufactured game controller is the new Microsoft Xbox Wireless controller. It has the high quality construction and comfort the 360 controller was known for with all the modern bells and whistles (and a truly great D-pad, finally). With capacitative triggers, great rumble, and excellent support for PC and mobile gaming in addition to working on every Xbox console from Xbox One onwards, it delivers on all fronts.
What's better than buying a great controller? Getting it for less money. Walmart's Black Friday Sale is discounting all colors of the Xbox Wireless Controller, from the standard price of $69 down to $45, in one of the best Xbox deals of the year.
