Was looking for a new game controller for my PC and found the white Xbox "Core" (new) controller on sale and IN STOCK on Microsoft's web site. Normally $59.99. Came with free "expedited" (2-3 day) shipping.
Is this the new controller for the Xbox series x? Anyone use it on pc, is the Bluetooth as bad as some of the comments I'm seeing (most are from several months ago, don't know if the issues have been)? If the Bluetooth does suck on pc, USB c cable work?

It's a little smaller than the previous version. There is still a delay with a Bluetooth connection on pc. Keeping it wired helps it a little
I noticed that (when finding this deal). Unfortunately, Amazon is currently sold out (in stock 3/12), and Walmart shipping is much longer, so I went with this deal.
I have always found Walmart shipping to be faster than Amazon . The only problem is the $35 minimum.
I hate this slickdeal mentality. Stop it. Please, it's insane.
I remember some camera where people complained about a $50 difference or something it was ONCE on sale for - this was a $3000+ Sony A7 I think? Most folks it's semiprofessional use so is $50 to wait months even financially sound? No.
Same here, you save a bit, maybe $50 is the price it'll end up being, but the $40 or $45 price for the X/S controllers is gone for now. Maybe it's 3 months away again - why restrict yourself? If you wanna do couch co-op or peace of mind if your main controller's batteries die you have a back up - is $10 savings worth that?
If you truly are just wanting this for a collect dust on the shelf type back up in the event your dog eats the main controller, fine waiting for another $10 off might make sense. Do you really only want it because it's white instead of your other color controller and makes no difference in game play? Ok, wait.
Otherwise, rise above the bad mentality here of MUST BE LOWEST EVER FOR THIS DEAL TO BE A DEAL AND MATTER. It's a good price, ships reasonably fast, and from the maker of it - make yourself happy if you want.
