Great deal on the Black 8BitDo Ultimate Wired Controller. Less than 20 pounds including p&p. Showing up as £29.81 on Amazon.
I prefer wired myself (lower latency, no anxiety over charging) so I jumped on this straight away given how expensive branded controllers are these days.

sorted bySo make sure you buy the one you want, the Ultimate 2.4G only version has an Xbox layout for its face buttons, while the Ultimate Bluetooth model has the Nintendo Switch layout for its face buttons (with an upgrade kit you can get direct from 8bitdo relatively cheap to change them to the Xbox layout if you so wish [requires disasembling the controller though])

For £20 its a perfectly acceptable controller, better built than the PowerA and the like. (edited)
