Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

If you’re after a new controller for your Xbox, PC or cloud gaming setup, Amazon may have just the deal for you, with its discount on a range of official Microsoft controllers.

The original Xbox controller may not have all the bells and whistles of the elite range, but it packs some nice features, such as easy Bluetooth setup, textured grips and a decent quality D-pad, that make it stand out.

The controllers on offer range from the standard “robot white” to “pulse red”, with even more on offer as well, albeit with slightly less discount.

In our round-up of the best gaming controllers for PC, we said of the Xbox controller: “The standard official Xbox wireless controller is ideal for most users. Well priced, it takes seconds to pair up with any PC. It feels good in your hands too, with textured grips on the triggers and bumpers, so you get a more tactile experience than elsewhere.”

To find out how to pick up an extra Xbox controller from Amazon, keep reading the rest of the article below.
