You can never have too many controllers. With all the variations Microsoft has released for its Xbox Core Wireless Controllers, you could have a different option for every day of the week.

The Core controllers don’t have all the bells and whistles from the Elite series, but they’re still excellent for everyday use. They feature sculpted surfaces and a hybrid D-pad with textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and casing. It also features a 3.5mm audio headset jack.
We rated it as one of the best Xbox One controllers, among other favorites you can pick up if you’re in need of additional peripherals. You can use this controller with most of the Xbox family of devices: the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox On, and even your PC.
Though this controller won’t arrive until after Christmas, it’s a good idea to go ahead and buy a few extras for any of the systems you and your family may have gotten for the holidays.
