Today's the day, folks! If you're celebrating Christmas, we hope you have a wonderful day filled with joy and hopefully some Xbox presents, maybe even including a console or two for some members of the PX community!
We're naturally slowing down a little bit in terms of content at the moment, but you'll still find some features on the site over the next few days, including the big Pure Xbox Game of the Year roundup that's going live in a few hours.
As always, it's important for us to say "thank you" for all your support over the past 12 months and welcoming us into your homes, on your phones, and wherever else you consume our content. We've got a wonderful community of Xbox fans here, and Pure Xbox wouldn't be able to exist without you!

Right back at you Pure! Seasons greetings to all of you.
We did buy a new style of Xbox pad (Hyperkin Competitor) with xmas hols in mind so my wife is now happy to play xbox and it feels better to me too than the official pads. I hope we play more series x next year as a result.

@PURE XBOX
Can you do an article that is something like this, "2025's Top 5 Xbox Controllers (3rd Party)".
We all know the Elite Controller V2 is a special controller. But anyone who has had one for a year or two has also had a problem or two with the durability. I even bought the "insurance/warranty" on my last one from Amazon... Just a tip guys, do not waste your money doing that. All they did was cleanthe controller, and sen t it back wit hteh RB button still not working (as well as keeping the Xbox 10ft USB cord that I went with it because I didnt read the fine print, so that was my bad but still sucked).
But yeah, I wanna get a new controller with back buttons, similar to the Elite V2, but not that. And there are actually a ton of great controller for half the price and have even more features.
Currently I have my eyes on the FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro. It has some insanely good joysticks, "Lever Joysticks" I believe, that are better than Holofect for more than just the anti stick drift.... The controller has the four back buttons that look very much like the Xbox Elite, but as well it has 2 extra buttons inbetween the RB/LB and the RT/LT that are mapable. plus it has two more mapable button that really bring me back to the OG Xbox Duke controller, the Black and White buttons, but instead of being above the Y button its under the the A/B.
And that controller is anywhere between $75 and $99 depending on if you get the case with it... it does include a nice charging dock as well.
But that is just one option, I am curious to hear about what controllers the writers/community at Pure Xbox are using and really liking. I hope you guys at least think about doing an article on this, or at least a reply haha. Thanks again!
