Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just replaced this controller today with my 2-year plan that I bought one year ago and the controller performed great. I brought this controller back and returned it because the left joystick wasn't registering when I would press it forward. The replacement process was great really simple too. Overall when I go back I'll probably get either this controller or another one like it because I've already used the replacement plan but I'd highly recommend this.

The Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black is a fantastic upgrade for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows devices. It features an ergonomic design with textured grips that make it comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The refined D-pad and responsive buttons improve accuracy and control, while the new Share button makes capturing gameplay moments quick and easy. Connectivity is seamless across Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, with minimal lag. The build quality feels durable, and the controller’s design is sleek and modern. Overall, it's a reliable, versatile controller that enhances the gaming experience on multiple platforms.

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

This works, which is all I need. I'm not into bells and whistles, or special colors. The one disappointment is that they must have changed the design in some small way so that my recharger battery lid does not fit on this model. It still charges without the lid - just looks like I lost the lid.

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.

My son loves the style and design. The durability is better then the eye meets.

Dope color and the grip on the back feels amazing.

Can’t go wrong with the standard Xbox controller. High quality, durable, and this one is white. The change of color is a nice touch from the standard black. But… if you can, buy The Elite 2 controller as those are best but at a much higher price.

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.

This controler is great. Its sleek design fits comfortably in my hand, the close button placements and textured grips enhance comfort during my 1 to 4 hour gaming sessions. The responsive triggers and bumpers provide satisfying feedback, crucial for precise maneuvers in shooter or racing games. Simple compatibility with a Type C connection makes it easy to connect to my PC

My son and husband both love these controllers. They last forever. Super easy to connect. would recommend this controller for anybody looking for a simple controller to play on their x box!

Love the Xbox controllers and the color switch between blue and purple is awesome. You do pay a bit extra than a regular controller but the back has rubber grips rather than the regular plastic so it makes it worth a little more.

It’s wireless and very easy to charge . Color is amazing . The ability to use and hold on to controller is very good

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 really enjoy this controller. It feels a little heavier than other ones but I do like the feel of it in my hands. It’s really pretty too.

i got this open box and it was great. it works amazing and the color is so nice

I got this blue one, a pink one and a red one. They all function as expected and they have a feel of quality to them. The blue has a very rich coloring to it and you feel quite regal playing with it.

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.
