Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is the coolest one yet! I love all the details and its not flimsy nor does it feel like it might break. I got it for my wife but i love the grips and custome colors! It's fantastic

Absolutely stunning controller that encapsulates all that is Doom. Extremely happy with controller and works as intended. It is just a xbox controller at its core though so don't expect any special features pertaining specially to Doom: The Dark Ages

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

Good quality control it. Love the color and the way it feels in my hand

Very durable controller. The color and design are very fresh. There is a nice texture on the back to help with grip, which makes it very comfortable to hold.

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.

perfect for pc gamer super responsive and easy to install nice color and quality

I wanted to love this controller. I bought it because the see transparent red plastic looked awesome and reminds me of the 90's and all the see-through tech of that era. However, that's the only good thing that I can say about the controller. I only owned it for 5 months before it started having insufferable stick drift! While I'm playing a game, it just randomly starts to look up to the ceiling and I'm constantly having to bring it back down. Also, I'm not rough with my controllers and I only game like 3 days a week for a couole of hours. Anyway, no matter how many times I took it apart to clean it, nothing worked! This is by far the most expensive and worst xbox controller I've ever owned. I still have the controller that came with my Xbox Series S when I bought it 4years ago, and its a little worn, but still works perfectly. I also think that's what upsets me the most. It's not just the stick drift, it's he fact that I didn't even need a new controller. I just bought this one because I loved the look of it. Unfortunately, though not only was it more expensive than any xbox controller I've ever had, it was also by far the worst quality. And now, after reading the reviews, I'm seeing many one star reviews from gamers that say the same thing about the stick drift problems, so I know that I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Microsoft needs to do better. Especially if we are paying premium prices for these "special edition " controllers.

Bought this contorl are as a durable replacment with a cool ashtetic higly recomend it’s very cool comfy and the design is a 10/10 amazing grip on it aswell

The controller is very smooth and easy to use, the grip enhanced my gameplay so much, I love the color red and the quality is nice and perfect for any gamers looking for a controller.

Love the color Xbox has gotten this control right!

This controller looks beautiful (love the color) and when it works, is awesome. However, these controllers just should not have problems with stick drift after just 6 months of careful use. That's been the case with all 3 of these that I have. Microsoft needs to redesign so this doesn't happen. I know these are user serviceable most of the time but I shouldn't have to take the time to take all 3 controllers apart and tinker to hopefully fix them. It gets 3 stars because I really like it when it works properly. I guess I have to recommend it because when on sale, they are relatively affordable as compared to some of the other obnoxiously expensive options.

Eye-catching and smooth performance! I recently picked up the green Xbox controller, and I’m seriously impressed! First off, the color is —it’s bold, vibrant, and adds a whole new vibe to my setup. Whether you’re gaming in daylight or at 2 a.m., it stands out without being too loud. Performance-wise, it’s exactly what you’d expect from an official Xbox controller—responsive buttons, smooth analog sticks, and that comfortable grip that’s perfect for long sessions. The wireless connection is solid with no lag, and battery life has been surprisingly long so far. If you’re looking to upgrade your setup or just want a controller that pops, the green one is a total win. Stylish and reliable, what more could you want?

As an older person returning to playing video games and hasn't had any experience with wireless controllers I had a little trouble using this controller for the first time. I read and followed the inclosed steps word for word. I was able to Link and turn On. Then, muddle thru the other buttons by Tutorials on a game or hitting a button and finding out after what it did...no problem no frustration. Frustration happened when I didn't know how to turn it Off. I couldn't find any info in any of the enclosed papers, on the box, or thru the game help screen. I left the controller alone thinking after so many minutes it would automatically turn Off...No. Finally, I went Online to find out how to turn it Off...Hold the On button for 6 deconds. WHY can't this info be included in the instructions! My only complaint. Love the Textured feel, comfortable to hold, and quick response to all the buttons!

Works well with pc gaming for Xbox pass. Fun colors, easy to handle. Not bulky

What can you say? You can pay full price for them, or you can do what I do and get them Open-Box Excellent and save yourself same change! Being a new color, for those that have been gaming for 30 of their 40 years, it does have a nice color shift depending on its surroundings. My small gaming theatre is set up with nine Hue bulbs Dolby Atmos via the Vizio Elevate centered around a Sony Bravia X85. Like a new controller, you have that initial stiffness of the buttons, which actually like a lot. So yea, if you can ever get a controller $20+ off, just get it. Just keep it boxed and when you other one eventually dies or just reaches EOL then you a brand spankin' new one!

First transparent control. Love the way it feels. The palm grips are amazing and the material doesn't make you sweat. Excellent purchase.
