Customer Ratings & Reviews

Feels just as comfortable as the 360 controller, which was nearly perfect in terms of ergonomics. Controller basically only features minor updates. D-pad has been greatly improved. With easier diagonals and a much more satisfying click feedback. Sticks have a more recessed center and better grip on edges. Controller grip is more heavily textured and less slippery, shoulder buttons feel better, triggers are smoother and have a slightly shorter travel and softer feel. There is now an extra share button. Works great on Windows 10 as a gamepad. Connected quickly and easily to my computer's built-in bluetooth, no need for some wonky external adapter like the 360 controller. Had some problems with disconnects at first but those seem to be fixed after updating the controller. (Download the Xbox Accessories app from the windows store, plug the controller in, and update it. Or just plug it into an Xbox). Basically, if you liked the 360 controller but had some complaints about it, this is probably what you were asking for. They apparently have some drift issues (like everyone else) and are involved in a class action suit, but only time will tell if it becomes an issue for me and when. Love the color, hope they continue to add more options down the line, would love a dark purple.

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

I recently got my hands on the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller, and I’ve gotta say, it’s a solid piece of controller! The design feels great—comfortable grip, responsive buttons, and textured triggers make long gaming sessions easy. What really stands out is its versatility. This thing works seamlessly across so many devices: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs, Android, iOS, and some smart TVs. Pairing it via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless is a straightforward, and I love that I can switch between my console, phone, and laptop without missing or dropping anything. The battery life (with the AA batteries or optional rechargeable pack) is decent, lasting through marathon gaming. My only gripe is the lack of a built-in rechargeable battery in the base model, but overall, it’s a reliable, cross-compatible champ that’s tough to beat for the price

Great controller for xbox or PC. Works with usb or bluetooth not sure why theres so many reviews that say they cant use Bluetooth worked out of box for me. Lot better quality then the older 360 controllers.

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 Series X controller is a game-changer in every sense. From its sleek design to its responsive buttons and ergonomic grip, this controller delivers an unparalleled gaming experience. The textured grips make it comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions, while the precision of the buttons and triggers enhances gameplay to a whole new level. The addition of the Share button is a fantastic feature, making it effortless to capture and share epic gaming moments. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a competitive player, the Xbox Series X controller is a must-have for its outstanding build quality and performance. Highly recommended!

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.

[Employee of bestbuy] Gorgeous controller, much better than the old one I had, very responsive and easy to pair to pc

Great for pc! Easiest controller to pair and use with a high compatibility rate. Good textured grip and not too heavy. Wish Microsoft would move over to rechargeable batteries. Bring your AAs!

I've had this controller for 2 years now & it still works like brand new. The color is perfect for anyone that adores Barbie.

This controller works wonderfully for my system and i enjoy the flashing lights on the analog sticks. It instantly connected and has worked perfectly since day one.

Same as the other controllers but a different color. The way the center lights up is nice though since it is transparent plastic.

I reccomend getting it at a discount not because it only becomes worth it when its at a discount but because it makes the purchase that much sweeter. I chose to get the controller because i heard monster hunter felt better and it was an instant switch. I have 500 hours on mhw and 300 on rise but within 5 hours everything clicked. Aside from games that were originally meant for console its also great for emilated games.

I didn’t expect to be this impressed, but the Doom The Dark Ages Xbox controller blew me away. The design is absolutely next-level—dark, medieval, and packed with those gritty DOOM vibes. It feels amazing in the hands: solid, well-built, and the textured grip makes long gaming sessions super comfortable.

It's the "ol' reliable" product when it comes to plug and play capabilities with many games you're likely playing on Steam. Works perfect wireless or wired, occasionally will drop signal for a few seconds but it's very rare and probably dependent on your PC. I keep mine plugged in and hit the X button whenever I want it to activate, and boom, Hades 1, Hades 2, and Devil May Cry (1-5 + the reboot) are suddenly perfectly mapped at the touch of a button. Good stuff frfr

great present for my brother, works with pc, nothing special needed, automatically supported. missing gyro though, too expensive while newer controllers have much newer features.

[Employee of bestbuy] Good controller for not being a high end product. Love the color wave on it

Really like the way it looks. Color is great. Feels really good in the hand. Better value when bought on sale. Doesn’t seem to improve k/d unfortunately, but still 5 stars

Got this one for a great price during the holidays, and there's a cool "coating" effect that doesn't really translate until it's in your hands, gives the different colors a different response as light hits them, just a very cool effect. Feels great in the hands as usual - good non-slip on the back, decent battery life, etc - all the usual goods. Cannot go wrong with these first-party controllers, especially when they look this good!

This controller feels amazing! I love the color and it looks nicely on my tv stand. The joystick move so smoothly and buttons feel nice.
