You’re dreaming if you think you’ll get $75 for this when the next gen controller is $50 on amazon (Xbox Core Controller - Robot White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DF26MXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_KZ2-FbA917D3H) edited for formatting because reddit markdown is hard
I've had such bad experiences with 3rd party controllers as a child. So now as an adult, I only buy official controllers.
I want to set up a small HTPC in my bedroom using possibly a Raspberry Pi. I plan to use Kodi and the Steam Link client to stream games from my PC. I'd like to control everything using an Xbox controller like this one and have audio routed through the xbox controller rather than to the TV. Is this doable?
>$60 Xbox controller: Share Button, USB-C, Bluetooth, flared D-pad.
Why would you pay $60 for an Xbox Controller?
Amazon routinely sells them for $50. In fact, they're doing it right now.
Sam's Club & Costco, if I'm not mistaken, will usually list them for $50 as the regular price.
Pretty much everyone lowers the price to $50 or below on Black Friday or other such sales.
So, yeah, if you're paying $60, it's overpriced, because you're overpaying. I'd never pay more than $50 + tax for one.
Ah I see, and that is fine too. Just to show I'm not making anything up though here's one now https://www.amazon.ca/Xbox-One-Core-Controller-Robot/dp/B08DF26MXW/ref=sr\_1\_12?dchild=1&m=AUJBRIGYRJ3Q8&qid=1628203879&s=warehouse-deals&sr=1-12
This is the usual price for both this and the black controller. It's also been this price on Amazon since January 22nd.

This one connects to ios but does not work with steam link apparentlyn
I had decent luck finding them a bit less.
These would be my recommendations. They are all solid choices and have pros and cons.
Xbox Series X Controller or "Core" Controller - you can't really go wrong with this one. Dpad is clicky which some people hate. Doesn't have back buttons but most people don't use those. Uses AA batteries which can be good or bad depending on how you see it. Can be used Wireless via Bluetooth or wired via USB-C.
PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller - good budget option. Wired only. Has programmable back buttons. Tons of color options and variations. More traditional dpad design. Does feel more "budget" in quality. Mine has held up well though.
8bitDo Xbox Ultimate Wired Controller - good wired option. High quality. Traditional dpad. Programmable back buttons. Wider controller which some people prefer. Can be customized via software.
8bitDo Ultimate Wireless Controller- same as above but wireless. Wireless connectivity is via a 2.4 Ghz dongle though, not Bluetooth. Some people prefer that. Has rechargeable battery.
GuliKit King Kong 2 - good budget wireless pro-style controller. It's main feature are the hall effect sensors for the joysticks and triggers which less prone to drift than traditional analog sticks. Rechargeable battery and programable back buttons. Uses Nintendo button layout, so A,B and X,Y are reversed. There is "Pro" version for around $10 more with some extra features you probably won't need if you are just playing racing games.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of these. They should all work just fine. Just depends on what specific features you are looking for. Hope that helps.
It's one thing to be wrong.
It's another thing to be a smug dick about it.
What are they called in that listing?
You owe /u/MutedHornet87 an apology.
You also need to learn how to be wrong gracefully, rather than act like an asshole just because you made a mistake.
All pieces of this gamepad setup are listed below:
- Xbox Core controller https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Core-Controller-Robot-White-one/dp/B08DF26MXW/
- Xbox controller keyboard https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094J8KRJB/
- Xbox backside button add-on https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WB1WRDW/
- Xbox thumbstick extensions https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0923VS4FN/
- Xbox thumbstick grips https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQMV3F4/
It looks like Amazon has the Robot White and Shock Blue controllers for the same price (estimated shipping from amazon.com in 5-9 days).
You want the regular Bluetooth wireless controller. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Core-Controller-Carbon-Black-one/dp/B08DF26MXW?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1. It will paired to the CCwGTV and Steamlink will recognize it.
