Color is awesome the price was awesome the controller itself awesome

Controllers get worn out, everyone knows that. They seem to last about a year (1-3 hours gameplay a day with a little more time on weekends) and they develop drift or the buttons stop responding so well, it just happens. I recommend getting a controller with the rubber pads on the back for comfort and grip, and getting a higher amp hour rechargeable battery for them. The downside that seems to bother me the most is “updating” the controller. It seems silly to me that they need updates every few months. It is annoying to have to do that when you are trying to enter a lobby with friends. Otherwise, the rubber grip Xbox controller is fine. They could seriously lower the price by about 25% and I would still feel like it’s too expensive as well though. Still, the color options make it where everyone in the house can have one in a different color scheme.

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller offers excellent comfort, responsive buttons, and wide compatibility—making it a top pick for gamers across Xbox platforms. Highly recommended for its reliable performance and ergonomic design

Let me just say—this Xbox controller is everything. The Carbon Black design is clean, solid, and feels great in my hands. The buttons are responsive, the grip is comfortable, and it connects to my Xbox and PC with zero issues. I’ve been using it nonstop, and it hasn’t missed a beat. Smooth gameplay, no lag, no drifting—just reliable, high-quality performance. If you want a controller that actually does what it’s supposed to do and feels good while doing it, this is the one. Highly recommend!

Fits more snug in your hands, it is smaller than x one controller but you feel more in control. The color was awesome too .

One of the best designs for an Xbox controller in my opinion. It’s very clean and just feels nice!

Outstanding color that really pops! Feels great! Easy to navigate.

Very good product. Works perfectly. Connected immidiatly to my pc wirelessly . And is supported by almost every game.

Bought this for my nephew’s 8th birthday. He needed a new controller and his favorite color is gold so luckily this one came out. It’s a really nice looking controller and he loves it

Good quality. Like that u can choose different color ones. All kids love this stuff for their system.

It works well and haven’t had any issues. Looks really cool too

Looks awesome and works great! Amazing detail and a must have for doom fans!

Works great. Love the white color. Good Value. I recommend.

The Ghost Cipher Xbox controller is both stylish and super comfortable. Love the semi-transparent design with the gold D-pad, and the buttons feel responsive. Works great on Xbox and PC with a stable connection and good battery life. A perfect mix of looks and performance.

This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.

The Series X controller lineup is far better than its Xbox One counterpart. While the controller is a little smaller, this change is for the better and truly doesn’t feel much different yet it does provide a more ergonomically sound fit in your hands. The stippling on the triggers and rear of the controller really improves grip. Hopefully this doesn’t wear too much with use but I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. So far, I’ve had no instances of ‘stick drift’ like I did with the Xbox One series of controllers. Overall, this was exactly the upgrade I wanted. Highly recommended!

Bought one after trying to buy a third party wired xbox controller for my laptop before the old controller fell apart (literally) after about 80 hours of play. The quality upgrade is significant, feels amazing to play with. Highly recommend just paying for a first party controller rather than settling for less.

Great controller, Love the texture on the grip. Holding up well after multiple months of use

When I saw this controller I knew I had to have it. I been a fan of doom and this one had a lot of detail to it. Way more effort was put into the thought of it. Same great Xbox series controller with a great look.
