Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a PC gamer and a mouse and keyboard guy, so after doing research trying to decide weather to get an XB1 or PS4 controller for my PC for playing certain types of games (racing, indie, etc.), I ultimately decided on the XB1 controller for its official support and additional functionality. The question was then "which theme do I get?" I was tempted to get just a standard black controller and save the extra money but I was able to score myself a deal and only pay a few extra dollars for this beautiful controller. In all honesty, I don't believe any pictures I've seen online do it justice. In person, the colours seem to be better balanced, the gold is more of a subtle touch and less of a IT'S GOT GOLD ON IT, and the overall pattern and design is very classy. This is also an extremely well built controller and I have full confidence that it is going to last me a long time. Also, the textured triggers are much more subtle than they appear to be in the pictures and, in my opinion, add an additional level of comfort and confirmation to your finger placement. One thing I do have to make note of is the audio jack. In an age where the audio jack seems to be ignored by mainstream audiences, us gamers and audiophiles know the power of that 3.5mm port. However, if you are connecting your controller to your PC via Bluetooth, you will not be able to use the audio pass-through. If you do wish to to use the jack, you will either be required to connect your controller to your PC via a USB cable (completely defeating the purpose of it being wireless), or you will need to purchase the "Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10". All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase and I would highly recommend it to any gamer, PC or console.

Love the grip on the thumb sticks and the underside. The hot rod red and decals is the cherry on top

Device Works well and easy to set it up. Overall well developed.

The original brand controller is so much better than imitations.

Feels great and looks cool! I love playing with this controller.

Bluetooth and the ability to updated the controller software combined with better feel and grip makes this the best controller to date.

Great grip, and has a different look from the other controllers.

easy to hold, works great and helps in the play, needs more color

Love the color and the feel of these controllers! They feel so natural and the soft texture of this is a pleasure. Totally awesome.

I like the item a lot I will by it again because it is wonderful

Bought for my son for Christmas. Recommend due to good gripping.

This controller works good. I like the color too. Worth the buy.

Solid remote control that I was able to quickly connect to my surface pro tablet. Plays very well on the Xbox one, and now I’m MVP in every game that I play. I have never once had a bad game with this remote... so far.

This product works great. It was a great deal for a great price.

This controller has a nicer feel than the normal Xbox one controllers. And the design is exactly as depicted. It looks and works great!

Enhanced comfort and feel of the new Xbox Wireless Controller, featuring a sleek, streamlined design and textured grip.

We love the great feel and use of this Xbox controller. I’m glad they came out with more colors!

Just a good overall controller. Easy to connect to the a box and a cool color scheme too.

The standard white XB1 controller is a good value. I go through about one controller a year with the thumbstick and bumpers breaking on me eventually. This controller has held up for about 8 months of moderate gaming so far.

Console controllers have made great strides over the years in functionality, and I'm pleased to say the Xbox One S controller is the apex of that so far for Microsoft. Most notably, it has a headphone jack built into the bottom of the controller (so you won't need the chat adapter for that function anymore). Other than that, this is pretty much the same superb Xbox One controller you know. The analog sticks feel sturdy and have yet to fail on me during demanding first person shooter play (something that was a plague for me during the PS2 and original Xbox era). The buttons don't feel cheap and haven't stuck on me yet, which is also a good thing. However, I've found the D-pad has always left something to be desired on Xbox controllers–it's just not precise enough for arcade fighting games. So, I'd recommend an arcade stick over this controller if you plan on seriously playing any fighters. I've found the charging function and battery life with the play-n-charge kit inconsistent (although this could be due to me using a headset with the controller that drains it quicker). It sure would be nice if Microsoft would finally take a page from Sony and put internal batteries in these things...having to buy a separate battery and cord seems excessive given that it's the same price as Sony's standard Dual Shock 4. Still, the S controller is a respectable 1st-party peripheral and meets most of my needs nicely for the system.
