Sure, playing against your friends and foes online is all well and good, but you can never beat taking them on while they’re sat right beside you. An Xbox Series X or Series S system comes with one controller in the box, but you’ll need another if you have some friendly couch co-op fun planned this Christmas. Extra controllers don’t normally run cheap, unfortunately. But you can pick up an extra Xbox wireless controller for just $35 from Lenovo of all places. Just make sure that you enter the discount code SHOPXMAS when checking out to lock that price in.
While this Xbox controller comes in a variety of colors, only Carbon Black variant is discounted to $35. Each controller comes packed with Bluetooth compatibility, a Share button to capture screenshots and videos and a 3.5mm audio jack so you can pair it with your favorite headphones. With the Xbox Accessories app, you can also customize the button mapping.

Outside of controllers, there are plenty of Xbox deals to go around on accessories, games and consoles. With Xbox Game Pass you’ll have everything you need to start playing all of those games you’ve been eyeing. They also make the perfect gift for your siblings if you don’t know what to get them.
Why this deal matters
Xbox controllers are historically $60 or more and don’t tend to drop below $40, so this is as low as you’re going to find them outside of a buy one, get one deal. Considering a lot of people need more than one controller, it’s best to take advantage of this discount while it’s available.
Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?
If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.
Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrive as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays.
Your new Xbox controller will arrive before Christmas, according to Lenovo’s website.
