When clicking the link, you'll need to do one extra click to select the "new" controller that's on sale, as the current link automatically defaults to the out-of-stock and pre-owned version of the Victrix Gambit that is listed for $30.

Designed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, the Victrix Gambit Dual Core Tournament Controller has a great look and design. This particular controller emphasizes competitive play, as it has a dual-core processor that offers a faster reaction time. One core focuses on ultra-fast input processing, the other focuses on crystal-clear audio so that you can keep communication channels open and virtually lag-free.

Even better, you can customize this controller with interchangeable pieces to suit your needs. It comes with the unique D-pad shown above, as well as a conventional cross D-pad. The thumbsticks are swappable too, and you get four total in the controller's carrying case, including domed and taller sticks that are ideal for FPS games. A rear trigger panel on the back of the controller has four customizable inputs. You can also engage the trigger locks to reduce pull distance. To switch up the look of your controller, you can swap the faceplate. The white faceplate shown above can be taken off to reveal a blue controller with a rubberized texture.

In addition to the physical changes you can make, the Victrix smartphone app allows you to create custom audio profiles, recalibrate analog sticks and triggers, remap inputs, run diagnostics, and more.

It's worth noting that this is a wired controller, so it'll be better suited for PC or Xbox gamers who usually sit close to their monitors. Thankfully, it comes with a roughly 10-foot braided cable.
