Regular $99.
Saw this marked on sale on both Target and Amazon websites with my local Target having one in stock. Store display said $99 and I was fully ready to have them price match their website but it rang up as $60. The extra $5 savings is likely very YMMV.
This is a very premium feeling remote with swappable joysticks and mappable (or removable) rear paddles. I honestly prefer it to the Switch Pro controller which is considered by many to be one of the best controllers made across any platform.
It comes with both a black and white faceplate that are interchangeable and also includes a 10ft braided USB-C cable that will allow for charging and/or wired play. All accessories are able to be stored in an included carrying case.
It has favorable reviews across all sites with plenty of additional details on both Amazon and Target.com.

PowerA has controllers under $30, but they definitely feel it. Cheap plastic, clicky buttons, etc. This Fusion Pro controller feels very premium by comparison.
This one is even more expensive than switch pro controllers...
If you like rumble, then go with the Nintendo version as this doesn't support rumble. I always disable rumble so it isn't something I miss.
Valve, for example, didn't pay up and lost in court. Was part of why the steam controller was discontinued.

I personally think it's ridiculous that the placement of buttons on a game controller can be patented, but that's how it was ruled.
Well, it's a lot cheaper for one. Also, the xbox elite controller has terrible reliability.

That's very interesting. I had no idea the back buttons/paddles were copyrighted. How is that any different from offset joysticks like both Xbox and Nintendo use? Or analog sticks in general? Or the analog stick buttons that pretty much all modern controllers use? Or rumble/haptic feedback? Perhaps all those are copyrighted, too.
I could keep going, but I most definitely agree that it's ridiculous they could copyright something like that. Especially when the N64 had a rear button back in 1996.

There is a Fusion Pro controller for Xbox/Windows 10, but it's wired. Otherwise it had the same features as this one and it's often $40 or so.
I'd REALLY advise against using a Switch controller on PC because it lacks analog triggers. With the Switch Pro controller, the triggers do not work in some games because they're not recognized as "triggers". There are ways around it, but it really depends on what games you're playing. I could see it as a benefit in FPS games, but a huge disadvantage in a racing games.
I think it's fair to say this is a generally more expensive controller than the pro-controller even if there are short periods of time when it's a few dollars cheaper.
Still seems like a good deal for those interested in this particular controller and the features it has.
This one DOES NOT have any form of rumble, so if that's something you want/need, then avoid this controller. Personally, I play with rumble disabled so it's not a feature I rely on.
Battery life is about the same which equates to a really, really long time. 35-40+ hours.
