Microsoft’s originally $75 Pulse Cipher transparent red Xbox controller hits new all-time low at $54

New low/$54

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Microsoft’s Xbox controller in Pulse Cipher colorway down to $54 shipped. This model originally launched earlier this year with a $75 price tag, but it quickly dropped to the $64 mark — where it has generally stayed with occasional jumps back to the original price. Today’s deal takes an extra $10 off its usual going rate, marking the lowest price we’ve tracked so far. Head below for more details.

The Pulse Cipher model is essentially a red recolor of the Ghost Cipher transparent Xbox controller which is currently at $65. It features striking red accents and the same transparent shell that reveals the sleek, metallic internals. Unlike the cheeky Deadpool-themed controller, the Pulse Cipher shares the exact shape, size, and layout of the Ghost Cipher and other standard Xbox gamepads – offering the same comfortable grip, familiar button configuration, and reliable performance.

If you’re more of a mouse and keyboard gamer, consider checking out Corsair’s M75 Air wireless gaming mouse down at $40. You can pair it with Razer’s BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard which is down at $145 right now from its usual price of $180.
