    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. :(

    When first unboxing this masterpiece of a controller it was as though the interstellar power of the cosmos unfolded before my eyes. And the smoothness of the buttons pressed so accurately during intense gameplay, it was as though the milk of the milkyway itself was at my fingertips. The rubber grips remain firm in my hands. As though I was a god and had control of the universe itself. Which as a video gamer I guess is a good description of every story I embark on with the protagonists of each game. Overall, if you buy this controller specifically for the color as I did. You will be quite satisfied in its performance capabilites as well.

    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.

    The inside grips combined with tbe side grips make for a great experience while gaiming. Not to mention the design and attention to detail. Including the transparent triggers and note inside the battery cover.

    Bought this originally for my wife cause I thought we be gaming a little bit together, but unfortunately for me she only played a couple of times. But bright side is I have it for my desktop so win win. I like the color and it runs like any other Xbox controller. I do like the Bluetooth feature for ease of connection to my Xbox or desktop use. Wish these controllers weren't so expensive.

    The color looks amazing, better in person. The grip feel on the handles are a really nice touch. Favorite part is the slot to add rechargeable battery pack. Makes the controller's life indefinite just by replacing the pack.

    The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller (Carbon Black) offers a comfortable design with improved textures and geometry, making it great for long gaming sessions. It's highly versatile, working seamlessly across Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows devices. The controller features a dedicated share button and impulse triggers, adding to the immersion. The Carbon Black finish gives it a premium feel. However, it requires an additional accessory for recharging, and some users find the share button placement awkward. The price can also be a bit high for some. Overall, it's a well-built and versatile controller with a few minor drawbacks."
