Score: 72/100
Xbox Wireless Controller Carbon Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The 2025 Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller in Carbon Black adds a 9-ft USB-C cable, refined ergonomics and the same 40 h battery life, but ships without a rechargeable pack and has occasional quality-control concerns.
The Hori Racing Wheel Overdrive is an entry-level, Xbox-first racing wheel with a full-size rubber-grip wheel, metal paddle shifters and a dual-pedal setup. It offers adjustable steering angles and app-based customization but lacks force feedback and has a bulky clamp system.
