The best Black Friday gaming controller deals are ideal if you need a second or even third controller for gaming nights or family holiday meet-ups. Whether you play on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation, controllers will feature heavily this November, with options for all budgets.

Discounts on PlayStation and Xbox controllers are always par for the course during Black Friday. In recent years, we’ve seen savings on controllers like the Xbox Elite Series 2 and Sony’s ever-reliable DualShock 4.

We also won’t be surprised to see price-cut options on third-party controllers. Corsair-owned Scuff pumps out some of the best non-official controllers for PlayStation and Xbox out there. Some even sport extras such as underside fully adjustable triggers/paddles, on-the-fly button remapping, and plenty of customizable accessories like interchangeable thumbsticks. Razer and Nacon stand beside Scuf as third-party manufacturers worth considering.

PlayStation’s DualSense is likely to line up as one of the most in-demand controllers, but we expect to see the most substantial markdowns on the previous-gen DualShock 4 and older Xbox One controllers.

What to look out for in a Black Friday gaming controller deal

Gaming controllers come in differing shapes and sizes. So whatever you want to get your hands on, let’s see what you need to consider:

• Comfort is possibly one of the biggest things to think about with your gaming controller. You’ll find that all modern controllers follow very similar layouts, number of buttons, and so on – but that doesn’t mean everyone will suit you perfectly. If you can, do a test run among different models to see what works best for you.
• Build quality is extremely important – especially if you are an avid gamer who needs a long-lasting durable piece of equipment. It’s worth investing in controllers of higher specifications and quality to make sure you aren’t left replacing yours again and again.
• Compatibility & connectivity are obviously important, it’s no use buying a controller that isn’t compatible with your device! It’s become the standard to use a wireless controller for gaming – but if you’re tired of regular recharging, don’t count out wired alternatives out there on the market.
