Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome quality for a 3rd part controller. Feels solid in hand, buttons and analog sticks all react perfectly, no lag or other issues. Not wireless but the cable is long and don't have to worry about batteries. Good to have on hand as a back up when batteries run low or if playing local multiplayer.

If you do a little research online, you'll find some pretty big negatives on this controller. The 1st one is there is no microphone port. This may or may not be a dealbreaker but it is a nice thing on the wireless controller. Next is the fact that throttle control is either on or off. Not analog like the wireless controller. This can be a problem in racing games. Again may not be an issue in some circumstances. Finally is something that I experienced that I can't find anybody else reviewing and honestly I don't understand because for me this is a dealbreaker. A little background. In my particular situation I purchased 4 of these as I'm using them at my place of employment (we have 2 Xbox one consoles in the break room). These Xbox consoles are encased and not accessible and I didn't want wireless controllers walking away. Wired controllers give me the ability to lock them down as you would have to cut them to take them. Xbox currently does not offer a permanently wired controller for Xbox one. So my problem is with the ABXY buttons. With the Xbox one wireless controller, these buttons are solid in design. The letters are actually part of the button meaning they will never wear off. With the Horipad buttons, they are solid black buttons and the letters have been painted on. There's not even a clear coating on the top of them. All of the coloring and letters where off after only a couple of weeks of use leaving just black buttons. This makes it difficult to play if someone doesn't know the button layout. Bottom line, I can't recommend this controller. This is something that could have been easily identified and fixed by the manufacturer for low dollars and is just poor design.
