Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller nails it. The Starfield design is clean and unique without being over the top, and the build quality feels premium. Grips are solid, triggers are smooth, and the D-pad has a nice click to it. It’s comfortable for long sessions and looks great in any setup. Feels like a collector’s item, but it’s also super practical — works perfectly across Xbox and Windows, and the wireless connection is rock solid. If you’re into gear that performs and looks sharp, this one’s worth it.

Very smooth to use. Hook up to my AppleTV was great and very little lag with the games I play. Love the color and the price is good. Look for a sale and its a great product.

Works great and a great design love the grip and the color scheme

Like the color, grips are good, like the controller overall.

I tried getting an open box controller elsewhere and it came with an issue so I tried my luck with Best Buy. Other than the box being a bit worn the controller itself was flawless and even came with the batteries unlike the one I got on eBay. The controller has been working great and for $40 you can't go wrong with just a basic white controller when the others go for considerably more and function the exact same.

Able to connect to everything and works really well.

I used an Xbox One controller for light PC gaming the past number of years, and figured I'd upgrade to a Series S/X controller upon seeing it on sale. Figured I'd relegate the One controller to "guest" duty the rare times I may have a guest over for a gaming session. In terms of ergonomics, the Series controller feels real similar to the One before it, which is to say: it's a comfy piece of plastic. The textured grip & triggers of the Series controller make it even more comfortable. Also nice to see USB C for charging, though for a 2020s-era piece of tech, I reckon most people would expect it to be there. It paired about as easy with my PC as I could hope for, nothing dramatic to report on that front. One unfortunate thing with this controller that's been carried over from the One: Why, in the year 2024, is the rechargable battery a separate purchase? Why, this far into the 2020s, do we need batteries like gamers did when they had GameBoys in the 1990s/early 2000s? Sony's had rechargeable batteries in their PlayStation controllers since the PS3 days, Nintendo moved away from batteries in controllers after the Wii, it's baffling to me that Microsoft keeps opting for an antiquated charging scheme when the Switch Pro controller & DualSense today cost pretty darn close to what the Xbox Series controller costs without a separate charging kit (at their respective MSRP prices). But I digress, this controller is still a solid one for PC gaming. If you can find this on sale & don't mind having to either shell out a bit more for batteries or a proper charging kit, you can do a lot worse than this. If you find an older One controller for significantly cheaper, I low-key doubt you'd miss the textured grip & triggers that overly much. Overall, I'd grade this a 3.5/5 mostly out of spite for the battery situation, though I'll spite my spite & round the score up to a 4/5 for today.

Great Xbox controller. Honestly just a normal Xbox controller nothing groundbreaking but the design is really neat on this one.

Considering the fact that I am a single man that likes to play video games I was in desperate need of a new controller. I was kind of skeptical buying anything online and this was my first time. I received the controller and I had no problems it worked very well and I would purchase more appliances and things of that nature from Best buy in the future because of how satisfied I was with the online purchase. I would not hesitate to purchase online from Best buy in the future.

Great controller! Love the color, the grip is very good too

Beautiful color and seems to work well, hopefully it lasts longer than the last one, before the sticks are drifting.

Needed to reppace my old seies X controller that got damaged so I got this one. Its a good controller and provides everything you need. Wireless, feels like the series X controller, and looks kinda cool.

Works great & I like the color. Connects easily with my system.

I love it! It’s just like the picture if not even better in person! It’s got the grips on the side that are a swirly purple. The colors are just gorgeous! Definitely recommend.

nice controller, love the color it’s super bright red

I recently purchased the Xbox Wireless Controller in Astral Purple from Best Buy for my middle daughter's Xbox Series X. The purchase was smooth, and the delivery was prompt. The controller's deep purple hue instantly captivated my daughter. Beyond its striking appearance, it delivers on performance with responsive controls and comfortable ergonomics, enhancing her gaming experience. Versatility is a key feature - it seamlessly connects to both her Xbox and PC, expanding her gaming options. The long battery life and USB-C charging are practical bonuses she appreciates. This Astral Purple controller has quickly become my daughter's go-to for all her gaming needs. Its blend of style and functionality makes it a standout choice. This Astral Purple model from Best Buy is a stellar option for anyone seeking a reliable, visually stunning controller for Xbox or PC gaming. It's been a perfect match for my daughter's gaming preferences.

- The new blue is very vibrant and really pops with the white backing. - The textured feel is great for grip when hands get a little sweaty during prolonged gaming sessions. - The new D-pad design feels better than the old design from past models. - Feels great in the hand and feels very solid compared to the last couple runs of the Xbox One old style controllers. If you really like the blue the extra $5 is worth it. I personally love how it looks and don't regret paying the small difference in cost between this one compared to the other two colors in white and black.

Great controller. The blue is a little lighter in person but not too much different. It still looks really good and feels good in your hands. The series x controllers really feel great in your hands. They may not have as many features as the ps5 controller but they are definitelykre comfortable and durable. They use a USB c plug now so when using the rechargeable battery pack it charges very quickly. All in all great controller you can't go wrong with any of the color choices but I personally like blue so this is my winner.

The buttons have the perfect feel when pressed, not too soft and great response. Very comfortable grip. Connects perfectly to my Xbox.

Love the controller. Its beautiful. Premium feel. Zero issues connecting to any of my devices. Tablet, xbox, phone, handhelds. Its perfect.
