Cyber Monday floods the web with “can’t‑miss” gaming bargains, but let’s be real — not every discount is worth your cash. That’s why we’ve cut through the hype to spotlight only the Xbox and PC controller deals we’d actually buy ourselves — the ones that deliver genuine value, not fake markdowns.

Our Windows Central team has hand‑picked 14 Cyber Monday controller offers based on performance, reliability, and real price history, so you can shop with confidence instead of second‑guessing.

Razer Wolverine V3 Pro (Best Buy)
TOP PICK🥇
Save 20% ($40)
Razer Wolverine V3 Pro (Best Buy): was $199.99 now $159.99 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

When standard just won't do and you want a controller that will put you a step ahead of the competition in first person shooters, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless is our pick. It's a much better investment than the Xbox Elite range (given it won't fall apart) and comes packed with 6 remappable buttons, hall-effect sticks and 1000Hz mode on PC. Compatible with both Xbox and Windows.

Hyperkin DuchesS
Nostalgia
Save 32% ($15.75)
Hyperkin DuchesS: was $49.99 now $34.24 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Xbox turns 25 next year, and this Hyperkin controller harks back to those very early days. The DuchesS mimics the smaller original Xbox controller, while updating it with modern tech, such as Hall Effect sticks. All the style and feel of the old school, but a controller very much for today.

GameSir G7 Pro Controller
Best TMR sticks
Save 25% ($20)
GameSir G7 Pro Controller: was $79.99 now $59.99 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

If you want the latest controller tech, which is Tunneling Magnetoresistance, even better than Hall-Effect, then GameSir is your pick if you also need Xbox compatibility. This controller works wired with Xbox or wirelessly with Windows PC and is currently the cheapest way to bag TMR for your console.

PDP Victrix Pro BFG (Black)
Pro for less
Save 40% ($80)
PDP Victrix Pro BFG (Black): was $199.99 now $119.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

Third-party wireless controllers for Xbox are still small in number, but even so, the Victrix Pro BFG stands out. Besides customizable buttons and paddles, it has full-on modules you can move about and customize exactly to your liking. Toss in Dolby Atmos sound support and an included lifetime subscription, and suddenly this deal becomes an absolute scorcher.

Xbox DOOM: The Dark Ages
Limited Edition
Save 25% ($20)
Xbox DOOM: The Dark Ages: was $79.99 now $59.99 at Best Buy

Best Buy currently has the best prices on the standard Xbox Series X|S controller, so if you're in need of a spare, this is your best bet. With prices ranging from $39.99 for the basic black or white to $54.99 for the fancier Cipher models, you're sure to find one to suit your style. Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PCs and Bluetooth devices.

8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Gaming Controller
Cheap TMR for PC
Save 20% ($12)
8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Gaming Controller: was $59.99 now $47.99 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

If you want that TMR tech and you only game on PC, you can spend even less and grab the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 instead, and personally I love the atomic purple vibes. This controller gets rave reviews and is compatible with Windows and Android devices.

The Tournament Edition features all the advanced tech of its premium V3 Pro counterpart, like Hall Effect sticks and Razer Mouse switches, while trading wireless connectivity for a wired-only connection to achieve a more affordable price.

The best time to add to your controller collection

Even though I already have more controllers than I technically need, Cyber Monday always feels like the perfect excuse to add another to the pile — especially in a household where everyone games. Controllers make excellent holiday gifts, and these sales are the best chance to snag unique colors or special editions without paying full price. I’ll probably be picking up the Ghost of Yotei controller for my other half, since he’s getting the game for Christmas anyway.

If you’re still undecided, we’ve got full reviews of many of the controllers mentioned above to help you choose. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro has now overtaken the Xbox Elite Series 2 as our top recommended pro controller for Xbox. At the same time, the GameSir G7 Pro seriously impressed us (if only it worked wirelessly with Xbox). The Razer Kishi Ultra was a tough sell at full price. Still, with Cyber Monday discounts, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking to maximize the latest Xbox Cloud Gaming resolutions.

Gaming controller FAQ

Where is the best place to get Xbox controller deals?

Right now, I'd say that Best Buy and Amazon have the best prices on gaming accessories overall, but make sure you also check Target, Walmart and don't underestimate Lenovo who often have great prices on Xbox controllers throughout the sale period.

There's also, of course, Microsoft's official store, where purchases will also net you reward points, but they aren't often the cheapest.

Do I need Hall effect sticks?

Yes and no. If you don't play FPS or racing games, it's unlikely you need Hall Effect sticks per se, but they do last much longer than standard analog sticks, so if you want more bang for your buck, I'd always recommend this.

What are TMR sticks?

Like Hall Effect, TMR uses magnetic technology, but it measures resistance changes rather than voltage. TMR is considered more precise, capable of detecting much smaller movements. It's also less heavy on battery consumption. The real feel isn't much different to Hall Effect but if you can grab for the same price, why not get the best?

When is Black Friday 2025?

Black Friday 2025 is technically on Friday, November 28, 2025. However, various retailers have been introducing deals as early as a couple of weeks before then. As has been the case for several years, Black Friday deals will merge and give way to Cyber Monday deals.

When is Cyber Monday 2025?

Cyber Monday 2025 is Monday, December 1, 2025. Some Black Friday deals will continue through this event and will change in name only. However, several new Cyber Monday deals are likely to sprout up on that Monday, and some will continue throughout the week.
