last updated 2 November 2021

Black Friday sales on Xbox controllers are going to be in high demand this year, especially with the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles practically becoming everyone’s lifeline during last year’s lockdown. The next-gen consoles are much coveted even now, though most people have likely secured their own units, which only means that there’s a whole lot of gamers looking to buy their own peripherals, including Xbox controllers.

Lucky for them there’s always been a staggering number of Black Friday sales on peripherals year after year, and that won’t likely change this year. We expect Xbox controllers and other accessories to drop in price, and even those who aren’t Xbox gamers but are looking to gift them can partake. In fact, these controllers make for the best tech gifts since they aren’t too expensive, but also won’t likely end up in a drawer somewhere.

Some retailers have already started offering pre-Black Friday bargains on Xbox controllers, with Amazon and Best Buy being the instigators. So, if you want to get your holiday shopping out of the way, you’re sure to find good deals. And, you’ve got us to keep an eye out for them. From now until Cyber Monday, we’re listing all the best Black Friday Xbox controller deals we find right here. All you need to do is check in regularly and hit that buy button when you’ve found one.

Best Black Friday Xbox Controller deals

Xbox Wireless Controller
As with most things, the original is still the best, which is the case for the Xbox Wireless Controller. Fresh from its recent update in 2020, this gamepad for Xbox looks and feels premium for that luxurious gameplay that could go on for hours – because of how comfortable it is, no matter the hand size. It’s not just for Xbox Series X/S consoles either, thanks to its multiple device compatibility. And, while it’s already a great value, it’s likely to drop in price this Black Friday, making it even more affordable.

Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma
If you want to go all out and splurge, the high-end Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is the talk of the town. This new kid on the block is on the pricey end, but it makes up for that by giving you a ton of features in exchange, including two extra remappable buttons, four extra triggers, swappable thumbsticks, and hyper-responsive actuation. Not enough? Razer threw in its customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting for good measure. And, while it is a wired connection, it comes with a detachable cord so you won’t have to replace the whole thing if the cord gets frayed.
