    Durable and very effective. Inexpensive and works just a great as the expensive ones, if not better.

    Excellent controller..feel good in hands..the only problem I had with previous Xbox controllers that RB button stop working and went through 3 controllers with same problems..hopefully they fixed the problems with this version but I highly recommend that you buy the protection plan so it at least you get piece of mind..best part about the protection plan is that BestBuy will replace it not fix it which is huge +! Bought it when it was on sale which was $44.99..

    I was somewhat disappointed with the Xbox controller. It’s been years since I’ve used one, and was expecting better quality. The base controller does not come with a rechargeable battery pack. You have to spend another $20-$30 if you don’t want to keep buying AA batteries. Come on Microsoft… Sony Dual Shock controllers all come with rechargeable barriers built in… At $60 I would expect this controller to be rechargeable. The A-B-X-Y buttons felt cheap and were not enjoyable to use. They were hard to press, kinda sticky, and overall just not a great experience. Triggers, bumpers, and sticks were fine enough. No complaints. Connecting to my Windows 11 desktop was a breeze and made playing certain games on PC way more enjoyable. Controller is customizable if you use the Xbox app on your PC. If you don’t mind spending $60 for a mediocre controller experience with no rechargeable batteries then this is the one for you. Otherwise, you might be better off going with a third party controller or upgrading to the Elite controller. I ended up returning it and getting an Elite controller instead.

    I bought this controller as a gift for a friend and they are absolutely in love with this controller. The color is exactly what is on the box and has a very beautiful iridescent coloring to it when you move it around and when the light hits it. It is absolutely gorgeous.

    My son was very excited to have this controller, the dual shock vibration was strong, it holds a charge good. Definitely will get another one very soon

    Great evolution of the Xbox Controller

    Great evolution of the Xbox controller. Textured back is a nice addition, and the new Dpad is the best any standard Xbox controller has ever had. Have had no disconnects or syncing issues. Battery life seems good, around 20 hours or so. Everything button and stick on the controller sounds a little more "clicky" than previous controllers however. It is by no means a dealbreaker, but it is a little noticeable for late night gaming sessions.

    Purchased due to stick drift in current controllers. This has worked great (so far). Hope it lasts

    old (un)reliable

    I've tried a few Xbox controllers over the years and I can say this is the only one I actually like (out of the ones I've used). Unfortunately I've bought this same thing about 4 times in 5 years, because some part always stops working (connector, stick drift, etc). I really wish the quality was better at this price point, but it's the price I pay to not hate my controller.
