If you're looking for the best Xbox controller, there's a fair few options available to you. In my opinion, though, you can't go wrong with the official, Xbox branded controller range. You'll get the most seamless integration and a device that was solely built to work with consoles like the Xbox Series S or the Xbox Series X.

Another consideration you may have when picking out a controller is colour. While the trend for more colourful designs has definitely gained traction, many devices – particularly those with a more premium price tag – play it safe with black casings.

Behind the vibrant exterior, it's business as usual here, with the same top-notch internals to help you level up even faster. The thumbsticks are tension-adjustable, allowing you to fine tune the resistance for pinpoint accuracy when aiming, while hair trigger locks allow you to fire off rounds in games like Call of Duty in record time.

It's built to last – not just in terms of reliability, but through intense gaming sessions. The controller should last around 40 hours on a single charge, allowing you to wirelessly play all day without fear of dropping out.
