The Xbox controller has a pretty impressive lineage already - after the somewhat odd shape adopted by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new form that's stood the test of time. 

It's only been slightly revised since the Xbox One years, and has remained pretty similar for the Xbox Series X and Series S, as well. That's a testament to a great bit of design, but there are still some limitations to it. Whether it's not quite the right shape for you, or because you want some extra buttons and functionality, picking up a different controller could be a game-changer.

There are myriad controllers to choose from out there; some will offer more options, others different sizes and textures, and we've tested a huge range of them. We put them through their paces in a variety of games and genres to see how they hold up to the competition, testing for latency, comfort and features to come up with a comprehensive final ranking.

Whether they're wired or wireless, how much they cost, what extras come bundled in - all of these count in our estimation alongside the basics of the controllers' build quality and craftsmanship, so read on to find out which are the very best on the market right now.
