PDP Wired Controller for Xbox — Frosted Diamond and Australian Opal

PDP Wired Controller for Xbox comes in two color variants: Frosted Diamond and Australian Opal. It's a wired controller and features dual rumble motors and impulse triggers, re-mappable buttons, dead zone adjustment, reconfigurable triggers, and more via the official PDP Control Hub app. It also comes with built-in audio controls, programmable rear buttons, and laser-etched texture on the grips, thumbsticks, and triggers.

The controller is also compatible with the PowerA Gamer HQ App.

WD Black D30 Game Drive SSD for Xbox — Limited Edition Summer Collection

Western Digital Black D30 Game Drive is an external SSD, offering 1TB of storage and hitting blazing read speeds of 900MB/s. It doesn't feature Xbox Velocity Architecture like the recently released WD Black C50 Expansion Card, so you won't be able to play Xbox Series X|S games from it, but your Xbox One games are sure to lose load screen time. The D30 also comes with a three-year warranty and a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

The WD_BLACK™ D30 Game Drive SSD for Xbox — Limited Edition Summer Collection is available now for $129.99.

On top of that, it also sports analog triggers, vibration feedback, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a 10ft USB-C cable.

The Hyperkin Xenon Wired Controller for Xbox will be available on July 24 and can be pre-ordered now for $49.99
