Same with the yellow controller
It's taking $10 off ($64.99-10) with code XBOXMODE
Edit, my dumbbehind reread the post and fixed my code
On a different note, make sure your hands are clean when you use the thumbsticks. I love the Electric Volt color, but due to the light color the rubberized thumbsticks are stain magnets.
If I did it over again, I'd get a darker color.

After all the issues I've had with the PS5 controller with drift it's frustrating to have a sticking button. At least this is a lot cheaper (and more comfortable) than the PS5 controller. Sony is out of their mind.

Xbox updated the controllers a while back so they have Bluetooth mode. (you hold the pairing button a second time and the sync light blinks twice as fast when it's in BT mode)
Tip: if it doesn't work once you get it connected, go to setting and the controllers section and change the controller from 2 to position 1. It will sometimes think you are using the desk for player 1 even though it's docked
It normally sells for $25 but is currently on-sale at Walmart for $20 (plus another 5% off if using Discover until end of month):

You can also find used or off-brand ones on eBay for half-as-much, but I don't have any personal experience with that.
If you want to update the firmware on your XBox controllers you will have to install the XBox Accessories app onto a PC and plug your controller in via wire. You can read about some of the benefits here:

Since I have the dongle I haven't tried the BT collection after firmware update... but maybe someone with experience can say if it is good enough to forego the dongle?
