A few different Xbox Wireless Controller colours are £20 off for Prime Day, and not just the ugly ones

A quintessential PC gamepad, regardless of hue

Now, with the caveat that the following opinion comes from someone with colourblindness, shortsightedness,anda dash of astigmatism, I will say that some of these are pushing the boundaries of good peripheral taste. Electric Volt, for one, evokes a sharp yellow yet has – at least in the pictures – a sickly green tint, while Pulse Red is exactly the same shade as the floor mats in thatDIY horror-bathroom off Something Awful. Shock Blue is much easier on the eyes, and the actual green option – imaginatively named Xbox Green – has a pleasing lightness to it. Deep Pink is also on sale, though at £2 more than the others, somehow.

There’s no like-for-like Prime Day deal over on Amazon US, though the classic black and white models have dropped to $40 very recently. And there’s no need for a Prime membership to get these deal prices, unlike the UK offers.
