While there are plenty of Xbox controllers out there, Microsoft's own controller remains our favorite option on the market in 2023 for those that just want the basics covered well. It's compatible with both Series X and Series S consoles, as well as the previous-gen Xbox One (not to mention PCs and smart phones via Bluetooth).
