    For the price I don't really think it's worth worth it, for one it's wired, it seems to lose connection for no apparent reason and it's almost as much as a regular Microsoft wireless controller, the only plus is the color changing

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This isn't a bad product but neither is it a scratch to the 1st parts one. Yes it glows but programming is a little clunky and the light choices are very basic. Throw in the fact this is a wired only controller then it's restrictive to the USB cable length. On the plus side this does mean you will have a cable that you can hook up to a window 10 PC and stream the Xbox One to it

    I really like the lit options. With one easy step you can customize this to match your color scheme. I use it with my Windows 10 home built gaming PC. Setup was a breeze. A true plug and play product. My only gripe is it is not wireless.

    Requires App, Lame Default Color Settings

    Controller is built pretty solid. My A button stopped working after a week of heavy use. The instructions inside the box link to an app that isn't available as of the beginning of Feb 2016. The default color setting is for one static color that can be dimmed, meh, super boring. The controller can then cycle through all the colors which is cool, but still pretty lame. No option for the battery means you have to use the super duper cheap micro usb cable that it comes with. Decent length for a stock cable, but the connector became loose after only 2 weeks of heavy use. Not super heavy, decent size for adult hands, but pretty slippery after lots of intense use. Cool for approx. 1/2 day. Will not purchase again.

    You cannot use Microsoft headset with this. It is corded so I cannot sit far back. I really liked the LED lights. Was cool to use but I returned it because I couldn't use it and talk to friends online.

    Initially It Was Good Until One Of The Joystick Begin To Rub On The Housing When Pressing Upward. It Became So Rough, Left Residue, And Had Some Resistance When Playing. I don't Know If It Was Defected From The Start But That Was My Issue....The Lights Are Cool Though.....

    Some flaws in design

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    est.. 2-3 months of use. The controller itself seems to function fine. There's an app you can download that allows you to customize buttons, colors, vibration, etc.. The wire is where I run into issues... Traditionally with Wired controllers there has been an extension at the end of the chord to connect to the Xbox via USB. With this controller specifically the whole chord is one piece connected by mini USB at the top of the controller and USB at the end to plug into the Xbox. This connection tends to come loose OFTEN on the controller side causing the controller to lose power. I give this a Very Generous 3 stars only because it's a good day and the customization is a nice touch. Recommend for local play with a guest. I wouldn't take this controller online. Pro tip -- As long as you stay very still while gaming you should be fine... but where's the fun in that?

    Picked this up for my gaming pc. Cord was a decent length but controller didn't have the weight of a real xbox controller. That's part of the reason I'm using past tense phrases. Colors & lights were cool though.

    I am a veteran gamer and streamer. I was looking for a controller to use for my Xbox and pc. Build quality is really well but can get slick after use for a few hours of play. The cord did not last long now I have a bad shirt in it so I’m stuck with a good controller with a bad cord

    The lighting is cool, but sometimes the buttons temporarily stop working, and the controller clearances are loose, so when the controller vibrates, it rattles.

    Comes with no instructions on how to use. You have the ability to change the color with a couple of different buttons on the actual controller (one on bottom of controller) but then the company wants you to download a program to be able to further customize the colors. Why can't it be as simple as the two buttons on the controller! Otherwise, I like the controller - PDP usually breaks pretty easily (I've had many for ps3 controllers) so we will see how this one goes. It feels as feeble as the other PDP controllers

    My husband picked this one out. He really likes it except for when he and my daughter are playing together. For some reason the Xbox will always recognize the Xbox controller and the number 1 over this when they are both turned on.

    Connection when plugged in is not the best. When my son plays the controller seems to disconnect and shut off often.
