Customer Ratings & Reviews

n my opinion, Microsoft controllers are some of the best options for both casual and serious gamers. They feel comfortable in the hands, with well-placed buttons and responsive triggers that make long gaming sessions more enjoyable. The build quality feels sturdy, and the wireless connectivity is usually stable with minimal lag. Many games support Microsoft controllers natively, which makes setup easy on Xbox consoles and Windows PCs alike. Some people might prefer lighter or more customizable options from other brands, but overall, the Microsoft controller strikes a great balance of performance, comfort, and reliability, making it a solid choice for most players.

Love the controller. Its beautiful. Premium feel. Zero issues connecting to any of my devices. Tablet, xbox, phone, handhelds. Its perfect.

XBOX controller 2020 version. I changed my mouse to a G502 to get a sniper button. It was like the G900 I also use so easy to make the change. Now I looked at my XBOX controller. Is the newer version better? What can you say about a controller that seems so unchanged? Plenty more than I thought. The size is inconsequentially smaller. You’ll forget it ten minutes into a game as the usefulness takes over. What could be more useful on this thing? The four-position rocker is now a CIRCULAR affair verses a STAR shaped affair. That’s not really the big deal. What is, is the FEEL of the rocker is now much, much more precise and give great tactile feedback in long game sessions. Play RDR2? Ya, you know what I mean when you use this feature over and over. The shoulder switches also are improved inside. The FEEL is again way better, with a positive CLICK. This isn’t as pronounces as the 4-way toggle, but it is still better. The controller has much better texture on the surface for better GRIP in gaming. This seems superfluous but it isn’t if you play more than an hour. It really helps in fighting games like Devil May Cry series or the Shadow of Mordor series where stuff is quick and tactical feel is important. The trigger’s are a different but inconsequential shape change and more same, same. No real detriment that they stayed near the same. Feel and precision isn’t different to me in use. That’s good as it was OK before. The added screen picture button is place below the other two standard buttons, so if it is of use great. If not, no harm no foul. The new button isn’t in the way but it is easy to get to if you use the screen capture feature. The finish is now a matte color in black verses a more shiny surface. Just different. Joy sticks seem identical with the anemic center press “click” being the worst tactile feel of all switches but...you get used to it. So that's it. More than I expected and they did make it better without messing something up that was working. That’s not actually hard to do, break what seemed OK before. They took a risk and it worked. The changes aren’t a revelation, but they are satisfying.

I’ll be honest i didn’t think this controller would be that great, mostly thought it was gonna be one of those ‘novelty’ controller. But this controller was absolutly amazing, like the controller feels great and imo prob the best controller you can buy for this price for xbox/PC use. The rubber around the whole controller make it feel high quality af, also the design is top notch doesn’t feel like a painted $50 typical xbox controller. Please if you’re going to buy this it’s worth it 10/10

The Xbox series controllers are flawless. The color is bold and great to look at. The face buttons are not colored, but you can see the color associated to the buttons on the faceplate. Small grip but not a dealbreaker

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller in Shock Blue is a fantastic addition to any gaming setup. Right out of the box, the vibrant Shock Blue color makes a bold and stylish statement—it’s easily one of the best-looking controllers Microsoft has released. The build quality is excellent, with a comfortable ergonomic design that feels great in hand during long gaming sessions. The textured grips on the back and triggers provide solid control, while the hybrid D-pad is a noticeable improvement over previous generations, offering more precision for directional inputs. Performance-wise, the controller is responsive and consistent across a variety of games. Whether I’m playing fast-paced shooters or more relaxed story-driven titles, the buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks all feel snappy and well-calibrated. The addition of a dedicated Share button is also a nice touch for quickly capturing gameplay clips or screenshots. One of the controller’s biggest strengths is its compatibility. It works seamlessly with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PCs, and even mobile devices via Bluetooth. I’ve used it for Xbox Cloud Gaming on both Android and iOS without issues, and the ability to switch between devices is convenient once you get used to the pairing process. My only gripe is the use of AA batteries by default. While it offers good battery life (around 30-40 hours), I would have preferred a built-in rechargeable battery. Thankfully, Microsoft sells a rechargeable battery pack separately, which I’d recommend picking up if you game frequently. Overall, the Shock Blue Xbox Wireless Controller offers a great mix of style, performance, and versatility. It's a solid choice whether you're upgrading from an older controller or just want a unique new color for your setup. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and great-looking controller and so many colors too.

Great controller haven’t had no issues with it so far easy to pair with my Xbox.

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 love the slightly reworked Series controller. I recently purchased the XBO, blue controller from last gen..And this gen's XSX-S blue controller, and I really like the darker tones blue with a splash of white on the bottom side. Once you pick the new controller up, you'll instantly notice the grip on the triggers, bumpers, and handles....The D pad is re-worked, and an added share button. When holding both last and this gen's controllers at the same time..I noticed the build quality was better on the new one...more so towards the Elite controller...It felt less cheap like the old one. I 've always like the Xbox controller because it fit my big hands...The new controller isn't ground breaking at all, just a little nip there and a tuck there...

Since, the Xbox 360 days, Xbox controllers have been the gold standard in my view of controller design. The Series X controller is an evolution rather than a revolution, adding texture to key grip points and improving the dpad. It also adds a share button for the sharing functionality on the console. Overall, I have no complaints, and using the Series X controller with my old Microsoft USB adapter on my PC worked without a hitch. Definite recommend for anyone who wants to refresh their peripheral.

Staff was helpful, talked me into insurance which I normally don’t get, however stick drift happens within about 3-6months on these controllers, then need to purchase a new one which adds up. Remote works great.

Works exactly like it should and love the color. Easily paired with my XBox

Works perfectly, color is one of the best in lineup.

I love the design and color and works perfectly fine

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.

I like this nice color. Feels great in your hands.

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.

Connectivity is fast and easy, whether you’re using it on an Xbox console or pairing it with a PC or mobile device. The wireless performance is strong, and input lag is practically nonexistent. That said, there are a couple of small downsides — the controller still uses AA batteries instead of a built-in rechargeable battery, which can get annoying if you play often. Also, the D-pad could be a bit quieter and more precise for fighting games or retro titles.

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.

Works fantastic and the response is great. I love the feel of the grip in my hands
