Is the Xbox Series X|S controller the best? 

Simply put, at this price range the standard Xbox Series X|S controller is the absolute best you can get, and I can't help collecting them all. I normally wait for a sale like this one but as soon as I saw the Xbox Gold Shadow Edition I knew I had to have it; I paid full price and I'd do it again. Xbox has mastered the art of special editions, crafting controllers that are as stunning on display as they are in action. In fact, I've compiled a countdown of the all-time best Xbox Special Edition controllers for your reading pleasure.

The Xbox Series X|S controller is a big step up from the old one, and the share button makes it simple to snap and share your awesome gaming moments with your friends. These controllers feature textured grips on the rear, triggers, and bumpers, making them more snug for long gaming sessions. We love this controller so much that it still tops our best Xbox controllers list.

These fresh-out-of-the-box colors won't be chilling in stock for long. The Gold Shadow, Storm Vapour, and Astral Purple are on the chopping block for the first time, and they're vanishing quicker than a power-up in a high-stakes boss battle. Move swiftly, or risk missing out on adding these gems to your collection!
