By The most affordable option is only $29.99!
We’ve consistently enjoyed utilizing Turtle Beach’s selection of Xbox controllers here at Pure Xbox, so we’re eager to discover two new models launching this May – and both are positioned in the budget segment as well.
The least expensive option is known as the Rematch™ Core Wired Controller, priced at just $29.99 on the Turtle Beach website. It boasts dual rumble motors, impulse triggers, audio controls, and a grip designed for prolonged use without fatigue.
“Experience enhanced control and precision with the Turtle Beach® Rematch™ Core wired Controller, officially licensed for Xbox and PC. Adjust your audio seamlessly with game/chat mix and master volume D-pad controls, plus a dedicated mic mute button. Engineered for comfort, the ergonomic design ensures a non-fatiguing grip during lengthy gaming sessions. Dual rumble motors and impulse triggers offer responsive and immersive feedback for improved gameplay. For quick and easy controller configuration and troubleshooting, download the Control Hub companion app, available on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs.”

The second budget Xbox controller introduced is the Afterglow™ Wave Wired Controller, retailing for $49.99 on the Turtle Beach website. This model is an updated version of the PDP Afterglow Wave Wired Controller, featuring “category-defining Hall Effect 3-stop adjustable triggers” along with “extensive customization features.”
“Elevate your gaming performance and aesthetics with the Turtle Beach® Afterglow™ Wave wired RGB gaming controller, officially licensed for Xbox & PC. Hall-Effect 3-stop adjustable impulse triggers provide smooth, durable, and customizable control, while dual rumble motors enhance gaming immersion. Personalize your Afterglow™ Wave with Intelligent RGB lighting and two programmable quick-action buttons. Stay connected with patented audio for game/chat volume mix, master volume, and mic mute. Download the Control Hub companion app for Xbox consoles & Windows PCs for advanced customization options including lighting, button mapping, and controller diagnostics.”
There are five distinct color options available for each of these Turtle Beach controllers, offering a wide array of choices. Naturally, being budget-friendly controllers, both models are wired rather than wireless.
There are many other Turtle Beach Xbox controller choices available, and my personal favorite budget-friendly controller is the Turtle Beach React-R. This one is currently available for just $24.99 on the website, and while some users have reported issues, I have personally used mine for years without any problems. It’s fantastic!
