    Since, the Xbox 360 days, Xbox controllers have been the gold standard in my view of controller design. The Series X controller is an evolution rather than a revolution, adding texture to key grip points and improving the dpad. It also adds a share button for the sharing functionality on the console. Overall, I have no complaints, and using the Series X controller with my old Microsoft USB adapter on my PC worked without a hitch. Definite recommend for anyone who wants to refresh their peripheral.

    As a gamer, I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest technology to enhance my gaming experience. That's why I recently picked up the Xbox Series X controller, and I have to say, it's a great product. First of all, the design of the controller is sleek and comfortable to hold. It fits perfectly in my hands and the textured grips make it easy to grip during long gaming sessions. The buttons and triggers are responsive and have a nice tactile feel to them, making gameplay feel smooth and seamless. One thing I really appreciate about this controller is the share button. It's an easy and convenient way to capture screenshots and video clips without having to navigate through menus. The controller also has a built-in rechargeable battery, which is a nice touch and saves me from constantly having to replace batteries. Another great feature of the Xbox Series X controller is its compatibility with PC gaming. I can easily connect the controller to my laptop and enjoy my favorite games without any issues. Overall, I have no complaints about the Xbox Series X controller. It's a great product that enhances my gaming experience and I would highly recommend it to any gamer looking to upgrade their gaming setup.

    This Xbox Controller is awesome! It feels super comfy in your hands and has cool grip spots so it won't slip. You can connect it to lots of devices like Xbox, PC. I use it exclusively for PC and it has been great. Definitely a must-have for gamers! I'm not a professional gamer by any means so I can't compare it to higher end models but for the casual gamer it's great!

    Set up was easy (for both a direct connection to Windows as well as via Parsec for remote gaming). Feel in the hand is good (grippy but not too rough). Sticks, triggers and buttons have the right amount of resistance. Would have been 5 stars if it had come standard with the rechargeable battery pack instead of being an optional extra (but I bought that anyway to spare myself the chore of swapping and tossing AA batteries into a landfill). Really, that's more of a 1/2 star penalty. So my rating is more like 4.5 stars

    The Xbox controller has been improved but keeping the design we all love and enjoy. I love the new "Share" button that allows you to take screenshots instantly. This was the main reason I purchased this controller to use with my Xbox One. Also, the triggers have improved grip which is awesome. The new D-pad is great!! The overall controller feels wonderful and I am very happy with my purchase. I plan to purchase different colors when more colors are available. Also, I am very happy that my battery packs from my Xbox One controllers work flawlessly on the new Xbox controller. Thank you, Microsoft!!

    Perfect design in my opinion. Feels a bit better than the Xbox One controller, but very similar. The design is already good so I didn't want a big change. Huge plus for USB-C being the standard now. One star off for quality issues, Xbox controllers are prone to developing drift and other issues. The added cost of Geek Squad protection is unfortunately needed if you plan to avoid buying a new one every two years. This controller I bought has no issues, however I've owned previous controllers that develope drift within a year.

    this controller is better than the older xbox controllers. It's comfortable to hold and I will also say that I have this controller and a blue one and I don't have stick drift on either. Take care of the controllers and definitely don't drop them. otherwise this a great controller.

    Good Wireless Controller for Windows Gaming

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Xbox Wireless Controller is a solid choice for Windows gaming, especially with recent Windows 11 enhancements and Steam's Big Picture mode, which together create a console-like experience. The controller integrates seamlessly with Steam, requiring minimal configuration for both single and two-player games.I haven't experienced any noticeable lag when using the Bluetooth. Regarding power options, the controller can operate using standard AA batteries or Microsoft's rechargeable battery pack, which is sold separately. When using AA batteries, connecting the controller via a USB-C cable to the computer does not recharge them. However, with the Microsoft battery pack installed, the controller can be recharged directly through the USB-C connection. Battery life varies based on usage, but typically, recharging is needed every few days. Additionally, the controller can be connected directly to the computer using a USB-C cable, eliminating the need for Bluetooth pairing.

    This Xbox Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X is legit! The buttons are super responsive, and the grips feel great in your hands. The design is lowkey cool, and the share button makes it easy to flex your gaming skills online. It's got those vibes that make long gaming sessions comfy, and it's not too heavy. Plus, it works with my PC, so I can switch between gaming platforms without any drama. If you're all about that Xbox life, this controller is a must-have. I highly recommend getting the extended warranty though.
