With Black Friday week well underway the perennial wave of gaming and tech deals is coming at us thick and fast. They can take many forms, but some of the best are ones we can personally testify to and recommend to you - and this Black Friday Xbox controller deal demonstrates that beautifully.

And actually, it's more like Black Friday Xbox controllers deals - i.e. plural - as two models are on offer. Cutting to it, the brilliant and revolutionary-for-me Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro controller is down to $119.99 at Amazon (was $159.99) - a second lowest-ever price and one we haven't seen beaten since this time last year. The second offering is the X Pro's newer, but not as flash, brethren, the eSwap S controller which is now available for just $89.99 at Amazon (was $129.99).

These are without doubt some of the best Black Friday Xbox controller deals we've seen thus far, and certainly on more specialist, and advanced controllers that offer something else. These are also ones we can be passionate ourselves about too - in particular with the Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro. That controller changed my 'gaming life', if you will, as it reopened Xbox consoles and games as viable ways to play for me given that I have different hands. Regardless of your hand shape, though, this is a supreme controller and offers excellent flexibility, versatility, and options to gain edges on your competition. One of the finest Xbox series X accessories you can get, and due to its compatibility, one of the best Black Friday Xbox deals and Black Friday gaming PC deals of the year so far too.

You can find more information on these two Black Friday Xbox controller deals below as well as some more prices on Xbox controllers further down.
