Looks Better in Person
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. As far as functionality, it works perfectly fine like any other Xbox controller. But he absolutely loves the color and uniqueness of this! The nice semi-metallic sheen looks really good in person.

Great remote!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the color! Ergonomically better suited for me than the ps5 remote. Only thing I would say is that it does not come with a usb-c cord and the battery that was included lasted about 30min.

I would recommend this to a friend XBox One Controller Replacement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our XBox One controller just up and stopped working after a few years of use. I bought this to replace it. First of all, it works fine with early model XBox One. Pairing the controller to the console was easy. I had to look this up on line to verify where the pairing button on the console was. This controller has slightly more texture than the original controller. I like the feel of it in my hands. The directional pad also feels better.

Its was good... at first...
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The textured gripping on the controller feels awesome, don't slip out of my hand. However, after about 4-5 months of using this controller about 2 days a week, I started noticing extreme stick drift in the right analog stick. so much so that I can't even use the controller anymore. I looked around the analog to see if anything stuck but couldn't find anything. And I found that the buttons are very loud, espically the d-pad and clicking the analog stick in.

The same, but better
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very similar to the Xbox One controller, but there's little reason to change when the formula already works. That said, the improvements that are there are appreciated. It's nice to have the dedicated screenshot button and the texture on it makes it feel a bit grippier overall, especially if your hands start to get sweaty. I recommend getting some quality rechargeable batteries, at least 4 so you can charge two while the other two are in use.
