The controllers response time is excellent as well as the length of the cord that connects to the outside. To get more into detail I will say that this controller has wonderful feeling buttons including the two paddles that are on the back of the controller. The paddles on the back (depending on the game) help very much because of how accessible and easy to press. Overall I would say I have had an excellent experience with this controller because of the buttons on it how easy it is to transport and how well it functions.

Great Wired Xbox Controller

This is a great wired Xbox controller for a great price. Connecting this to my computer was easier than ever, with Steam and Windows recognizing it as soon as I plugged it in. The chord is long enough for me to comfortably sit back on my couch without me ever needing to worry if a sudden movement would unplug the controller. Remapping the buttons was easy and, unlike other controllers I have, the back remappable buttons are sizable enough where I never found myself accidentally clicking them. The controller itself also has a nice weight to it, similar to other Xbox controllers I have.

Genuinely impressed by the packaging and overall usage of it. It looks sleek and nice and it works wonders! It came with a very long cord and some back buttons for more options! I don't hate the buttons being in a different place (the home and side buttons are higher and squished together) I just had to get used to it, kind of like going from PlayStation to Xbox. For the price and the overall usage over the past month or 2, it has been so lovely, no stick drift so far as advertised and it looks great. Thanks for such a genuinely great product!

The perfect gaming controller

As a gamer who played a lot on console I am so used to how gaming on a controller is and using this controller just feel so natural to me. And since most of the controllers that I use tend to break easily and not work over a period of time, this controller make me feel like I was playing on console again. The feel of it is perfect for me and the weight of it just just perfect for me. This controller is perfect for gamers who want a light weighted controller and very easy and quick to learn how to use, and I am a player who played a lot of PlayStation and not own any Xbox consoles. Easy to learn on how to use and comes with everything you need with it.

Doing great at almost 1 month in

Everything feels crisp and responsive after little under a month. If this is still at 4 star then it's been holding up. It would get 5 if the pause and menu button wasn't so awkwardly high, which is no big deal and I'm getting used to, and if it didn't need specific cables. My 25ft type C doesn't work and the one it comes with is 2ft too short for my needs.
Other note worthy pros are the cable port, mute button, bottom buttons, and presets. The cable port feels tight and secure and has ample support, so it looks like it will hold up. The mute button is nice because the light makes it hard to be accidentally muted and talking to yourself. It's positioning is convenient because I have a mute switch mounted along my cable and this makes it easier than finding it. If you don't have a cable switch or ear cuff mounted mute button, it's no big deal and likely doesn't work with wireless, but I don't know. For me, using crab grip style, I don't accidentally hit the buttons. I did for the first few days when putting it down or picking it up but not while playing. The quick swappable presets for sound and controls are awesome. Also, changing the sound level on my controller is definitely much more convenient than my cord mounted volume dial.
If it holds up, then I'm happy with this purchase and my last 2 OEM and 2 Power A controllers were horrible and none lasted a year while properly functional. I also baby my electronics, so if they don't last, it's a quality problem.

Amazing controller, Amazing colors, feels excellent! I used to use the elite controller but got tired of constant stick drift and buttons getting damaged after a couple months. This controller definitely is worth the price you pay for and more! Im considering even buying 2 more different colors

Very good controller. I've had this controller for 5 months and I've surprisingly only found one issue with this controller. The issue is that occasionally when click either left or right on the d-pad, it will click the bottom or top of the d-pad.

I've been needing to replace my controller for my pc for a while and this works great for my steam games. The button format works wonderfully and it installed on my pc quickly and without issues. My concern is that this feel a little too light and not enough weight on my hand. This could be better if it weighted a little more.

It feels exactly like an actual console wireless controller, works easily with my PC. Also comes with a nice length cord so I never need to worry about it being long enough or not. I like how the sticks and the triggers feel too, it feels like using a real console controller on Pc which I love

My review is I personally didn't enjoy using the controller. CONS: I've played on Xbox before and usually love their controllers but this one doesn't feel comfortable. I do notice it has a about two second delay when gaming on shooter games. I played also Forza Horizon and it did pretty good in terms of response when racing. These are just my opinions without messing with the setting on the controller. PROS: I do like the fact that is easy plug and go type of controller. I didn't have to download any unnecessary software to use it or bluetooth it. I does come with about an 8ft cable to hook up to the computer. It has a 3.5mm headphone for people who still enjoy plugging in their headphones while gaming. I do also like the matte finish on the controller itself. Overall I personally It's not for me but it's great budget for kids and even other adults who are starting out gaming on PC and want a good controller for the money. 3/5 stars.

Worth The Money For A Cabled Controller

I have been using my original Xbox One controller but the joysticks have been wearing out, and I’ve been getting joystick drift. With this controller I haven’t been getting any joystick drift, it’s been great! I’ve had no issues with the buttons either. You do have to keep in mind the cord, and the cord length though. I have my tv on the opposite side of the room. So I can’t lay back comfortably on the couch (7-8 feet) to play Xbox. The USB outlet is on the backside of the Xbox so you loose 10-12 inches from that. I have a small comfortable chair that I put halfway to play my games and that makes it a lot easier.

Doesn’t get stick drift and grips last pretty decent time

This was a great upgrade from my previous controller. I use mine for pc gaming and could care less about having to deal with a cord. The controller looks clean and feels very comfortable in my hands. The optional l4/r4 Are a great feature. Some games having that extra assignable button makes operations much easier. Overall very satisfied. The detachable cord seems durable and I’m expecting this to last for a long time!

I LOVE this controler! I needed a controler to play fallout on my computer but so many controlers ive use feel super cheap and end up drifting really bad after only a few months of use. I decided to spend a little more on this controler than the others… and i was not disappointed! The controler has some weight to to and feels really really solid. The chord feels really premium and is a great length!

Really comfortable controller for me, personally. First and most important, this is a wired controller. It’s not wireless. I happen to have my Series X hooked up to my 19 inch LED Computer monitor. My room in my apartment isn’t very big. So, my Windows PC is connected to the same monitor as by XBseriesX and NSwitch. Everything is within four feet of each other on my desk. I only sit 3 feet from my LED widescreen. That’s my setup.
The controller, as I’ve stated, is really comfortable to hold. However, I think people with really big hands, who find the XB Elite 2 comfortable, will not like the feel of this controller. They might find it too small. The set up was really easy. I just read the instructions and hooked it up. Then connected a pair of “in ear” wired ear buds into the audio jack and started playing Call of Duty. So far, there has been no “Stick drift”. The sticks don’t use mechanical connections to move around. Instead they use Hall Effect joysticks, so there should be now stick drift. I will repeat, that what I like the most is the comfort. Since there is no rechargeable battery, the controller is lighter. This adds to the comfort. The soft ware is easy to use and I programmed the rear buttons to the L3 & R3 function. The software is downloadable from the XBox App Store and is free.

Feels extra light like it's cheaply made, but it works fantastically so far! Where it has hall effect triggers and sticks I don't have to worry about getting sick drift either! I've seen others complain about other cords not work but I've not had any issues using other cords so it's probably about the quality of the cords you try to substitute.
