Microsoft’s Robot White/Carbon Black Xbox controllers drop to their lowest rates at $40 since official price hike

Reg. $65/$40

We are now tracking a deal at Lenovo that drops Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Controller to $39.99 shipped when you enter promo code XBOX20 during checkout. You can get this controller in a variety of colors, but only the Robot White and Carbon Black variants are down to the $40 mark today. These gamepads have mostly been fetching their full prices since they saw a sizable price hike to $65 earlier this year. Today’s deal, however, shaves $25 off their usual going rate to mark the lowest price we have tracked for them since they officially jumped up in price, making this a great time to cash in. Head below for more details.

Some of my favorite gear

These are your standard wireless Xbox controllers, so you know exactly what to expect here in terms of the features. They’re available in a bunch of colors, including some special edition colorways, but only the standard white and black ones are down to the $40 mark today, while the rest are seeing some lighter discounts at Amazon. These are equipped with a hybrid D-pad and textured grips on the triggers, bumpers, and back for a more comfortable hold.
