Xbox Controllers

The Xbox controller is already a fan favourite—but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to just the official version. 

Today’s third-party Xbox controllers from brands like PDP, MSI, HORI and Turtle Beach offer impressive performance, unique designs, and often even more features than the standard Microsoft gamepad. 

Whether you’re a competitive player looking for customisation or a casual gamer wanting great value, there’s a controller here that fits your playstyle—and your budget.

And let’s be honest—not everyone wants the same controller. Some players want back buttons and turbo functionality. 

Others care about grip texture, colourways, or trigger sensitivity. That’s where third-party brands really shine. 

They give you options, flexibility, and features that are often missing from stock controllers—all without charging a premium.

At Gamer Gear Direct, we stock a curated range of high-quality Xbox controllers that hold their own against the big names. 

With wired and wireless Xbox controller options, full PC compatibility, and stylish designs, our lineup gives you more ways to play without compromise. 

So if you’re ready to upgrade, stand out, or just get more from your setup, you’re in the right place.

Why choose a third-party Xbox controller?

You might think “third-party” means lower quality—but not here. 

The brands we stock are known for creating responsive, durable, and feature-packed Xbox controllers that deliver the goods.

Looking for programmable buttons? Swappable thumbsticks? Turbo functions? 

There’s a good chance you’ll find features like these baked right into the controllers we sell—often at a better price point than the official model. 

Plus, third-party options come in a wider variety of shapes, weights, and styles, giving you more control over how your controller feels in hand.
