The standard Xbox pad. Works on Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows, and takes AA batteries rather than a built-in cell.
We are not tracking a price for the Xbox Core Wireless Controller — Carbon Black yet.
We would rather show you nothing than a number we cannot stand behind. When a retailer feed goes live, this page will show every price we can see, plus what the product has actually sold for over time.

Price history
Not enough history to make a claim. We have 0 recorded prices for this product and need at least 9 spread across 90 days before we will tell you what the low was.
The opinion
This is the controller Microsoft ships in the Series X|S box, sold on its own. It is the default for a reason: the layout is the platform standard, it pairs to Windows over Bluetooth as well as to the console, and the textured triggers and bumpers are a real improvement over the previous generation.
The one thing to know before you buy is power. The standard pad runs on two AA cells out of the box; a rechargeable pack is a separate purchase, and over a couple of years that gap closes a meaningful part of the price difference to the Elite Series 2.
We have verified this listing against UPC 889842611588, which distinguishes the retail Carbon Black unit from the visually identical pad sold in bulk packaging without a retail box.

6 of 8 values are traceable to a source we hold. The rest read “Not verified” rather than being filled in from a manufacturer page we have not checked.
The trust proof
We publish a GTIN only when it passes a check-digit test. Where the source value failed, it is shown above for audit and excluded from our structured data, because a wrong identifier merges our listing with someone else’s product.
What owners say
No owner reviews yet. We show a rating only when real owners have written one — a seeded five-star average is worth less than an empty section.
