Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, the price is reasonable and fair. I also waited quite a while before leaving this review—specifically to test its durability—and I am very satisfied with the results; there haven't been any issues at all.

Its comfortable, responsive, and connects every time. Im using it with my steam deck. Only hickup was i had to update the firmware, after that its been rock solid. Would recommend

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!

Works really well. Easy to pair with my TV so I can stream Xbox games. I bought an open box version and the batteries weren't included like the brand new one, so beware.

I like the texture grip on the back and the purple is a nice dark shade on the front with a white contrast back. Controller holding up well and I use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries in them.

The color is awesome and the controller works great. Have had it for a few months now.

This Xbox controller works great and feels really comfortable to use. The buttons are responsive, the connection is reliable, and the pulse red color looks awesome in person. It works perfectly across Xbox and PC, and the battery life is solid for long gaming sessions. Definitely a great controller for everyday gaming.

Great controller with a textured grip, so when your hands are sweating from long periods it won't slip out of your hand. Also the buttons and stick are stronger than the previous controllers. Not to mention the color stands out so it's easier to find. This controller will make gaming easier even on the old generation console.

Xbox Wireless Controller — ★★★★★ This controller is a solid upgrade if you’re coming from an older model. The grip texture on the sides makes it easy to hold during long sessions without your hands getting tired, and the D-pad has a nice tactile click that’s great for fighting games or platformers. Battery life is decent — I get a good number of hours per charge, and Bluetooth pairing to PC was painless. The share button is a nice touch for quick screenshots and clips. Only minor gripe: the triggers don’t have adjustable resistance like some premium pads, so it

It may say xbox but it is for more than that. This works on your laptop (no more mouse and buttons) and works with your ipad. Finally hands free and not keyboard or touch screen.

The colors are fun and unique, no issues, comfortable grip, my 11 yr. old thought it was the coolest thing ever!

xbox does it again! this is a great controller! it's just a tad bit smaller than the xbox one controllers. guess that makes it more appealing to a wider base? but it's not too small. xbox has had the best controller in the game since xbox came out (after the "Duke"). PS has even now changed the shape of their controllers to feel similar. Love the color options. love the textured feel on the back and even on the trigger. updated d-pad! very nice overall. even works on previous gen consoles. what more can you ask for!????

Works perfectly with a good grip. I only stick to Microsoft controllers for quality and durability. Original one lasted 5+ years with a lot of use until it got stick drift.

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!

Needed a new controller since the old one had stick drift. This one is going strong.

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

I have always been a fan of the clear, see-through styles. So when I saw Xbox came out with their line of see-through controllers, I was waiting for a blue to come out!! Everything works exactly as it should. I never lose connection to the Xbox. No noticeable drift after years of owning this, and the color is still my favorite thing about this controller. Xbox definitely needs to tap into making more of these in different colors!!

Bought this to use on my PC since only the newer models connect to PC via Bluetooth. It works great! Incredibly easy to set up and use. And the color is beautiful!! I mean can you say LOUD! It feels so natural to hold as well, really is the perfect controller no matter what color you get it in.

Love the feeling of a new gaming controller, I do wish there was a lifetime warranty for each new controller purchased or at least a 50% credit for each one returned to purchase a new one. Or we could have a station that helps fix common issues with gaming controllers for free if you purchase a gaming controller through Best Buy or $5 if you bought them somewhere else.
