    Bought this to play games on the Apple TV which either required or recommended a game controller. It seems to accomplish this task well. I was a little disappointed that this unit does not have rechargeable batteries, but as infrequently as it gets used this is not a huge problem. Just recently saw on the Apple TV control panel that this controller has a firmware update to improve connectivity issues. I haven’t gotten around to this yet, but wish me luck that I get it updated (on a PC?) soon.

    I wish we had thought to buy all of our controllers at BB, having the warranty. My son goes through controllers like crazy. Though, this one has lasted a while so far.

    Best Regular Xbox Controller to Date!

    |

    Best regular Xbox controller on the market right now. I had one of the Elite controllers previously and honestly wasn’t really a fan of that one, so I have to say this feels like the nicest controller Microsoft has delivered so far. The textured controller grips and textured trigger buttons are a big improvement, it helps the controller feel more solid overall. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows however - I won’t ding this review too badly as I’m hoping this controller lasts longer, but I will caveat things by noting my previous controller that came with my Series X died on me after 10 months of heavy use (faulty right trigger button, starts to stick when you depress the trigger and won’t pop back out) and this was purchased to cover me while I waited for my warranty replacement from Xbox (this blue one is now my primary). I’ve noticed both sticking trigger buttons and broken bumper buttons tends to be an issue with the general controller design MS uses, and it was an issue on the older Xbox One X controllers too, so that’s a bit of a bummer to see the new ones continuing to utilize that same general design internally. I have both the Xbox Series X and the PS5 - One thing I will say is that I prefer the size/shape ergonomics of the Xbox controller a bit more in terms of comfort after longer gaming sessions, but the Sony controllers definitely feel more premium and have greater functionality, which to me helps justify the price in my mind more. The Xbox controllers are quite expensive, and given how many I have gone through over the years it is a little frustrating to either need to repair or replace them as often as they’ve needed so far. We’ll see if the latest gen Xbox controllers hold up any better, but I’ve had my PS5 as long as my series X and my PS5 controllers are still running solid as a tank… but this is already my 2nd Xbox controller in 10 months. :(

    I LOVE the RED color! I was deciding between this and the volt green, but decide to go with the red and love the choice. Bought this on sale for $39 dollars so this was a steal no problems with the controller after over 100 hours of use.

    Microsoft Carbon hand controller for Xbox X is the deal! A much smoother feel to the controller than previous models. Not as bulky, and has Hepatic response in the controller that you would want when kills are made! What are you waiting on? Get this controller!

    I bought this controller to use for my computer. I like how it easily connects to my PC and works well with almost all PC games. I also like the feel of the controller and the texture on the back. Regular AA batteries do not last long, so I recommend getting rechargeable batteries or a battery pack.
