Customer Ratings & Reviews

I don't care how many colors I have, this thing has to be held to understand its level of cool.

My favorite color is Blue. However, the controller feels just as good as the other Xbox Controllers. I only bought because its blue. No issues with this controller.

Good new controller altho it would be nice to have other colors but its works good and its quality good

Great controller, Love the texture on the grip. Holding up well after multiple months of use

I pre-ordered this based on pictures I had seen. I figured it would not look as good when I received it and it would be a cheap controller. Wrong on both accounts. It looks wonderful. The controls are smooth, and the rubber grip is comfortable and useful. It's not quite an Elite controller, but it seems better than standard.

Absolutely love this controller it is so cute. It's an excellent addition for me and my spouse to play together. Thinking of buying another one for my daughter if it's still available they seem to be hard to find this year.

I really like this controller! The transparent blue looks awesome and it feels comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. Buttons are responsive and it works just as expected.

Great color, great design. Easy to use. My wife loves it.

Works perfectly. Quality product . Easy to use ! Feels amazing in hands

The controller easily connected to my OneX. It can be used as is, with usual control action, or reprogrammed in pretty much any way. Less expensive than alot of the controllers out there it works Great! It also has a 3rd center button that allows instant sharing. Only thing is it isn't compatible with earlier model controller rechargeable battery packs.

Works as it should. Its a nice working controller, better than the one I had and I like the shade of green. Better in person

Has a nice grip in the the back, love the transparent scheme

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.

Purchased for my kid and she LOVES it- color is bright and distinguished, buttons and joysticks responsive, her setup is in a small living room and no connectivity issues. Purchased online and received promptly and securely packed. Sweet!

Upgrading from a regular Xbox One controller that I’ve had for years to this has been such a nice change! There’s a noticeable difference in the quality of the controller. The texture on the thumb sticks and back of the controller is a nice addition too and the colors/design really pops out! Have been using this controller almost daily for PC gaming and no issues so far!

This is one of my favorite controller colors. It's simple to connect and works great. Holds up well too.

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!

I love the colors on this controller and the feeling of the paint on it. Makes gaming fun again

Great quality,great color and great for the price!

Ever since my Xbox Consoles quit working, I've been playing many of my games on PC and I've enjoyed using this controller for those games and much more!
