There are great Xbox controllers available at practically every price point, with many wired options available for those who need a dependable peripheral on a budget. HyperX's Clutch Gladiate wired Xbox controller aims to fit that diminutive bill while still delivering some extra features not found in many more expensive controllers.
In the process, HyperX has crafted a decent wired controller that can't be adequately described with any adjectives apart from "average" and "okay." It gets the job done, and it's nice to have remappable rear buttons and trigger locks at such a low price point, but there are similarly priced competitors to the HyperX Clutch Gladiate that, for many players, are just a little better.
