Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was in the market for new controllers for my xbox1x, and after reading a lot of reviews on this controller i decided to give it a try and was not disappointed at all. A lot of reviews said the buttons made a loud clicking sound and the controller itself was a little smaller but i had no problems with them and they paired with my xbox1x with no issues and i really enjoy the textured grips that reduces slip a lot. I am very happy with them

It's a genuine controller used on my gaming laptop. Works very well and fits my hand well. Highly recommend buying quality over cheap any day

I really like the Shock Blue color of the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X. It's a nice, vibrant color that adds a bit of personality to the controller. The controller itself feels well-made and comfortable to hold. The buttons and triggers are responsive and the controller works seamlessly with both my Xbox Series X and my Windows PC. So far, I haven't encountered any cons with this controller. It's been a pleasure to use.

The Xbox wireless controller is a great product to use. It is sturdy and reliable. The color is a great option to choose from and the handle of it is great. An overall great controller and can't think of anything that is bad about it

Great Xbox controller as usual just in this beautiful transparent blue

Very sharp design, and the gripping texture is great. Vibrant color. Durable.

Works wonderfully. Easy to connect to computer and works with all my games

Great feel to it. It has been THE best controller I've ever used it has lasted me longer than any other controller has and still is working as if I bought it that day. It is also very durable being I've dropped it over a dozen times and it still works as if I just got it from the store that day each and every day.

The controller is great quality and is a very sleek color which I love! Comes with batteries and works amazing. It can be a bit difficult to connect the controller to other devices but other then that I’d say this controller is completely worth the price! Now if only Microsoft could find a permanent solutions to Stick Drift!

One of Xbox's best looking controllers. Looks amazing and feels great. Highly recommended for use or even a collector.

You will spend hours, and you will want to keep feeling this sensation against your skin.

The color is amazing, and it fits comfortably in hand. It’s been dropped a few times and still works perfectly.

Looks great and works great. Would recommend to anyone.

A beautiful control, with rubber grips. Makes it comfortable to hold and use. I would definitely say this is one of the best limited edition controllers.

The Series X controller lineup is far better than its Xbox One counterpart. While the controller is a little smaller, this change is for the better and truly doesn’t feel much different yet it does provide a more ergonomically sound fit in your hands. The stippling on the triggers and rear of the controller really improves grip. Hopefully this doesn’t wear too much with use but I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. So far, I’ve had no instances of ‘stick drift’ like I did with the Xbox One series of controllers. Overall, this was exactly the upgrade I wanted. Highly recommended!

[Employee of bestbuy] Amazing color great grip! Very durable and the color is amazing

Nice looking, cool color, good quality. Easy to use and set up. Also, good for the price

Pretty good controller thats a step up from the standard ones. Has a decent grip under your palms.

Great color. Hard to come by. Works as it should. Get it.

This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.
