Best Xbox Controllers

Over the years, the classic Xbox controller layout and design has remained unchanged for the most part. They clearly got it right with the Xbox 360 controller and saw no reason to change anything. Why fix what isn't broken, right? Even today, many third party controllers borrow the Xbox controller's shape and layout because it arguably is the most comfortable controller out there. If you're in the market for the best xbox controllers in India, look no further than this list. If you're looking at this list, chances are you already have an Xbox and therefore an Xbox controller. But there are several reasons to pick up another controller, like playing local co-op, or having an extra controller on hand for emergencies like the battery dying for example. In this list we've got the classics like the Xbox Series X|S wirless controllers, budget options like the PowerA Wired Gaming controller, pro controllers like the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller, and versatile controllers that can adapt to the games you play like the Thrustmaster Eswap S Pro. The list has got a mix of both wired and wireless options, for those who prefer there to be absolutely no latency while gaming. With all that said, let’s get to the list.
