Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Not typical xbox controller. Its a little nicer. Rubber grips on the bottom are a cool feature. Bery cool design.

Not only is it fashion forward adorable and sleek. Its high durability and beautifully seemless buttons are great for gaming on pc and xbox. Blue tooth capable and can play cordless too

It’s a good remote. Plain and simply just don’t drop your Xbox controllers too many times eventually they’ll get bad stick drift. The colors cool and it’s well it’s a controller.

Love the controller! From the design to the feel of it while playing!

I bought this because I only had one controller for my new Xbox x. Works great and easy to connect.

Been playing with it for the past few months now and it has held up great. It feels like this controller has better build quality compared to the standard black and white controllers, it’s not heavier or anything, it just feels slightly more premium, especially with the rubberized grips. The entire controller looks amazing as well, which just adds to everything. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a unique controller.

Absolutely love this controller! The Robot White looks super clean and modern, and it feels great in hand — solid, but not heavy. The textured grips are a big upgrade from the older models, and the new D-pad is super responsive. Works flawlessly on my Xbox Series X and even connected easily to my Windows PC via Bluetooth. Battery life is solid, and there’s minimal input lag. Perfect for both casual and competitive gaming!

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

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.

Great controller for PC gaming and I presume for XBOX as well. The texture on the hand grips definitely helps with keeping the controller stable during those intense firefights. The control sticks feel comfortable and don't require a lot of movement to direct. The new d-pad is definitely a step up from the older XBOne d-pad. I've been using this since early November for primarily 3rd person shooters and racing games. The difference in input response in wireless mode versus plugged in is negligible. I do like that Microsoft built this controller with USB-C for the connector. The only real complaint I have is that the controller still doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery. So you'll need to get rechargable for this if you don't want to be replacing alkalines. Also, the purple shimmer effect on the shell is absolutely amazing. Pros: -Comfortable rubber textured grips -Comfortable rubber textured sticks -Improved d-pad -USB-C connector for wired play and charging on some battery packs. -Works on Xbox One, Series S and X, and PC. -Bluetooth connection is stable on Windows 11 Cons -No built-in battery pack, will need to buy rechargeables or invest heavily in alkalines depending on play time.
