    It was damaged when opened. We will need to return for a replacement. One of the joy sticks has no tension. Just wobbles and falls when you tilt the remote controller from side to side.

    Title: "Top-notch Controller for Ultimate Gaming Experience" I recently purchased the Microsoft Xbox wireless controller from Best Buy for my Xbox One console, and I must say, it has truly enhanced my gaming experience. The sleek design and comfortable grip make it a joy to hold, even during long gaming sessions. The wireless connectivity is seamless, providing uninterrupted gameplay without any lag. The buttons are responsive, offering precise control over every movement and action in-game. Additionally, the textured grips ensure that the controller remains secure in my hands, even during intense gaming moments. One of the standout features of this controller is the compatibility with both Xbox One and Windows 10 devices, allowing for versatility in gaming across platforms. The inclusion of Bluetooth technology also enables easy connection to other devices, expanding its utility beyond just the Xbox One console. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Microsoft Xbox wireless controller delivers on all fronts, providing exceptional performance, comfort, and compatibility. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this controller is a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their gaming experience. Highly recommended!

    The overall design is gorgeous. Love the color shift, and the pattern on the grip is nice. Has excellent weight and feel compared to some of the off brands I’d gotten recently. My only issue is the little skipping heartbeat of lag it has at times as far as connectivity or responsiveness. It is not consistent but it is noticeable. I use it on Bluetooth connection to my PC. Not enough of a problem so far to be a real concern.

    ​The Universal Translator of Gaming

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Verdict: If you own a gaming device, you probably need this controller. While it lacks the fancy haptic feedback bells and whistles of the PS5 DualSense, the Xbox Series X controller remains the king of ergonomics and compatibility. It is the "gold standard" for a reason: it just works, everywhere. ​1. Design: Refined, Not Re-designed ​Microsoft didn't reinvent the wheel here; they just smoothed it out. ​The Feel: It is slightly smaller than the Xbox One controller, making it easier for people with smaller hands to grip, but still comfortable for large hands. ​The Grip: A tactile, textured grip has been added to the triggers, bumpers, and the back case. It feels rugged and premium compared to the slippery plastic of previous generations. ​The D-Pad: The new "hybrid" D-pad is a clicky, saucer-shaped dish (borrowed from the Elite controller). It is incredibly precise for fighting games and platformers, though it is quite loud. Click-clack-click. ​2. Versatility: One Controller to Rule Them All ​This is the controller’s superpower. It switches between ecosystems seamlessly. ​ On Xbox Series X/S ​Performance: It uses Microsoft’s proprietary "Xbox Wireless" protocol rather than standard Bluetooth. This offers lower latency (input lag) and high-bandwidth audio for headsets plugged into the 3.5mm jack. ​Dynamic Latency Input (DLI): This tech syncs your inputs immediately with what is on the screen, shaving off milliseconds of lag. ​ On PC (Windows) ​The Gold Standard: Windows treats this controller as a native input device. Almost every modern PC game supports it instantly with the correct on-screen button prompts (A, B, X, Y). No third-party drivers or remapping software (like DS4Windows) required. ​Connectivity: You can connect via USB-C (for zero latency), Bluetooth (easy), or the specific Xbox Wireless Adapter (for the best wireless stability). ​Game Bar: Pressing the Xbox button instantly pulls up the Windows Game Bar for performance stats or screen recording. On Android (Mobile Gaming) ​Bluetooth Pairing: It pairs with Android phones and tablets in seconds. Android natively recognizes it, meaning you can navigate the phone UI with the joysticks. ​Cloud Gaming (xCloud): This is the killer app. If you have Game Pass Ultimate, you can clip your phone to this controller and play Halo or Forza via the cloud. Because the ergonomics are console-quality, it makes mobile gaming feel legitimate rather than a compromise. ​App Support: Massive support for mobile titles like Call of Duty Mobile, Minecraft, and Fortnite on Android. ​3. The "Share" Button ​Situated dead center is the new Share button. ​Function: One tap takes a screenshot; a long press records a video clip. ​Cross-Platform: This works perfectly on Xbox. On PC, it can be mapped to custom functions via the Xbox Accessories app, making it surprisingly useful for content creators. ​4. The Battery Debate ​The Reality: It still uses AA batteries. ​Pro: You never have to "throw away" the controller because the internal battery died. You can just swap in fresh AAs and get back to gaming instantly (40-hour life). ​Con: You have to buy AAs. Most heavy users will need to buy the separate "Play and Charge Kit" (rechargeable battery pack) or rechargeable AAs, which adds ~$25 to the cost. ​Final Thoughts ​The Xbox Series X controller is the "Swiss Army Knife" of gaming. It isn't the most high-tech controller on the market, but it is the most reliable. Whether you are sitting on the couch with the Series X, sweating in a competitive shooter on PC, or playing Minecraft on your Android tablet during a flight, this controller handles it all without a hiccup. ​Pros: ​Unmatched compatibility (Xbox, PC, Android, iOS). ​Textured triggers feel great. ​USB-C charging/data port is a welcome upgrade. ​The hybrid D-pad is excellent for precision. ​Cons: ​Still relies on AA batteries out of the box. ​The D-pad is very "clicky" and loud (might annoy people in the same room). ​No advanced haptics or adaptive triggers like the PS5 controller.

    Feels great and plays great! I picked this up because the right bumper of my last controller was busted, but I had a good experience with that so I figured I'd pick up another Xbox controller. This one has a more comfortable grip purely because it's got a vaguely rubbery texture as opposed to just being bumpy plastic, and I like the color a lot more than plain white. I haven't tried it wirelessly yet because I have a cord to plug into my computer, but I'm very satisfied with what I have used. I'm surprised by how much less expensive than the older version it is. I just think it's nicer! I do hope the right bumper holds up against playing Final Fantasy XIV with a controller, though. I think that's what killed my last Xbox controller...

    The Xbox Series X controller feels amazing in hand. The textured grips and responsive buttons make gaming super comfortable, even during long sessions. The improved D-pad is a nice upgrade, and the share button is convenient for quick screenshots or clips. It’s compatible with multiple devices, including PC, which is a big plus. Battery life is decent, though I wish it came with a rechargeable battery pack. Overall, a solid and reliable controller!

    I have owned probably every standard version of the Xbox controller that has existed since the 360 was introduced. Xbox is my jam, and this controller is even prettier in person than it is in pictures. I actually wasn't looking for a controller at the time, though I was in need of one, as my controllers I bought alongside my Series X were experiencing drift after a few years. This one caught my eye when I was in Best Buy, and I couldn't walk away! It's so gorgeous. I've had it for well over a year now, and I still seek it out to use exclusively simply because it's so pretty, haha! It's still going strong, even with getting accidentally tossed off the couch here and there (usually by a cat walking near it/shoving it off, lol). And the only reason I recently considered buying a new one was because....you guessed it - I walked by a pink and blue one in BEST BUY and immediately had to start reminding myself I don't need another one.... But, like, they're so fun, and you can never have too many Xbox controllers in my opinion! Oooh, new justification - I need one for my computer and one for my Xbox, haha! *salute* I'll be stopping by soon for that other new one, haha!

    This controller nails it. The Starfield design is clean and unique without being over the top, and the build quality feels premium. Grips are solid, triggers are smooth, and the D-pad has a nice click to it. It’s comfortable for long sessions and looks great in any setup. Feels like a collector’s item, but it’s also super practical — works perfectly across Xbox and Windows, and the wireless connection is rock solid. If you’re into gear that performs and looks sharp, this one’s worth it.
