    Thanks to my current setup at home, I have my PC hooked up to my TV and treat it like my entertainment hub. This controller works wonderfully, and it gives my PC a true console feel. I mainly use it for PSO2, Destiny 2, and games on Steam. You can’t go wrong with this quality product.

    Quality device. Works as expected. Burns through the batteries when the kiddos use it though, and leave it on. But nothing about the product seems bad. Must have if you enjoy games on the PC and don’t want to use the keyboard

    Best Basic Gaming Controller

    In my opinion, Microsoft nailed the design of the Xbox One controller. It’s extremely comfortable to play for hours with and works natively with a Windows 10 PC as well. By far this is my favorite controller, and paired with a rechargeable battery solution they’re the best!

    I have gone through many controllers and having the insurance is great so I can get a new one anytime. Great investment especially if you are a gamer. And get the one where you can charge the actually controller and not have double a batteries. Preference, but i like it better.

    Best PC controller

    By far the best controller for PC gaming. Most games like WWE and Rocket League map the buttons and change the game interface accordingly. I prefer to use this controller hard wired but it also has a wireless option over bluetooth. Well built, highly recommended.

    I first bought 2 of the colorful generic controllers but they kept dropping connection so I returned those and bought these originals. They have never dropped and are working great!

    Great Game Controller for Windows

    I bought this controller to play Grand Theft Auto V on my windows PC. It connected without any issues and worked great! I still like the feel and layout of the PS controllers and may have been able to find one for my PC, but I figured a Microsoft controller would be more compatible and do not regret buying it one bit.

    The cable for the controller feels like it was made to break. The micro usb on the end bends very easily and it that bending seems to have caused intermittent connection drops, though I haven't confirmed this.

    A solid gaming controller.

    No question this ubiquitous controller is a solid choice, though as a PC gamer I do find it a bit over rated, especially for the price. If you only want a controller for the odd platformer, I would honestly recommend something cheaper, like the Logitech F310, though I do find that controller's triggers to be overly stiff, and it's analogue sticks aren't QUITE as precise, though the difference is rarely noticeable. For less than half the price, I found it to be just as good 90% of the time. If you want something more serious, like for racing games or more intense 3D titles, I personally prefer the Steam controller for the money, sadly that has been discontinued, leaving this as the next best choice. In short, this is a good, solid controller, just be prepared to take a significant hit to the wallet for not that much extra value over cheaper alternatives.

    Strictly leaving it plugged in with the USB...Just my choice, but couldn't be happier...Controller feels right and do not notice any kind of a delay like some Bluetooth controllers I've dealt with...Highly recommend!

    This controller is great, it can be used on any bluetooth compliant device. It also comes with a 9ft cord, so you can plug it in and use it and not use any batteries, also you can use the X-box rechargeable batteries.

    Controllers are great for game playing but they use loads of batteries. By connecting to the console device (computer or Xbox), I get the use of the controller without the expense of batteries. Ideal for someone who plays a lot of games.

    Really nice controller in the Bluetooth connectivity works flawlessly. I've not yet had much experience with these slightly new revision of controllers. they do feel a bit sturdier than the original Xbox one controllers though.

    Absolutely love this controller! It's way more comfortable than the other Xbox One controllers we got with our second hand Xbox One console. I love that you can use it wired or wireless depending on your preference. Money well spent
