    I mean, it's an Xbox controller, lol, what do you need a review for it? If you really want a review from a random nobody online, then here it is: It's reliable as it is the official controller that comes with the Xbox console, switched to PlayStation a while back so im not used to the loud clicky buttons but i wanted to use a different contoller to connect to my phone to play minecraft during downtime at work.

    Solid choice for using on a laptop. I did not want to use keyboard and mouse for the Arkham collection so I picked this controller up. Awesome choice, and that’s coming from a past PlayStation controller user lol.

    It's a more affordable controller and works great! Wish it was blue all the way around, but other than that it's 10/10, does what it needs to do. I needed it for a Steam game, and works great!

    I've been using this for a month and have had no problems with it. I use it exclusively for playing PC games. It's very comfortable to hold and the analog sticks feel good and there are minor improvements over the Xbox 360 controller (which is what I was using for nearly a decade before this when playing games on PC). The only issue I ran into was on the first day, I had to connect the controller to my PC via USB-c cable (not included, but you likely already have one for your smartphone) so it could download some kind of firmware update, but once that was taken care of everything has been working good since. I was a little concerned that it still uses AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery like PlayStation and Switch controllers use, but the battery life is actually pretty good. Like I said I've been using this for a month and I'm still using the two batteries that were included with it, I haven't had to change them yet. As far as my ratings, the only reason I gave Value 4 stars instead of 5 is because I kinda miss the days where new controllers went for $40 (or less) and now they cost almost double that. But honestly if you're like me and just need a controller to game with on PC, this should be at the top of your list.

    I really like this controller. The Sky Cipher design looks fantastic and stands out in the best way. It feels comfortable to hold and the buttons are very responsive. Connecting it to my Xbox and PC was quick and easy. The build quality feels solid and it works smoothly for every game I have tried. Overall this is a great controller with excellent style and performance.

    I love it. My husband has the frost one. The design is super cool and so far it’s very responsive and it’s been lasting with house full of kids. Looked everywhere for this one and best buy was the only one that had it. Thanks so much!

    I recently bought the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller in white from Best Buy, and it’s been excellent. The controller feels solid, responsive, and very comfortable for long gaming sessions. Pairing was quick, the buttons are crisp, and the textured grip makes a big difference. The white color looks clean and premium. Overall, a great purchase and definitely worth it.

    The Xbox Wireless Controller is fantastic—it feels great in the hands, super responsive, and the build quality is usually solid. Unfortunately, mine broke after a few months, which was frustrating, but thankfully I had Best Buy's Total Tech! They replaced it, no questions asked, and I’m covered for up to two years. Knowing I have that kind of protection makes me feel a lot better about my purchase. If you’re picking one up, definitely consider adding Total Tech—it's totally worth it for peace of mind!

    It's SO Beautiful!

    Gorgeous controller! First of all, purple is my favorite color, and this certainly delivers on that royal-purple beauteousness. The shift between the cobalt blue and purple is sublime! I'm a "sloot" for all things space- and galaxy-themed, or anything with a color scheme reminiscent of space/galaxies, so this was right up my alley. My one criticism of the controller is that the swirly purple and black, rubberized grips on the side don't 'quite' complement the metallic shift of the main cover, like the hue of purple is too far toward the medium lavender range of purple, compared to the rich, royal purple of the main cover, but it's still nice. It's a standard form factor for XBox controllers, by the way, so it's obviously comfortable to hold, even for those multiple-hour gaming sessions. Overall, this is my favorite of all controllers I've ever owned for any system, and I'm very happy with it. (One star knocked off of value, for the $10 premium just because it's a special edition color.)

    I like all the changes they made to the new controller. -The triggers are a matte hard rubber black texture with small bumps. They are much easier to press down and the texture feels way better. The One X had weird slippery plastic bumpers and triggers that made games that use the bumpers a lot (Dark Souls) a bit less comfortable than a PS controller. The bumper feedback is much more of a deep bump than the plastic click of the old controller and I like it. -The grips have a micro-texture as well which makes that controller less slippery in that aspect as well. -The circular directional pad with raised arrows is very clicky, much louder than the One X directional cross. Most games just use the directional buttons for activating items, menus, etc. However I am not much of a fighting game player so I would read other reviews who might have stronger feelings about this change. -Type-C cable instead of micro-USB. That means faster charging if you buy the optional rechargeable battery pack. -The controller is a tiny bit heavier and feels solid. My old One X controller squeaks and crackles a little bit if I squeeze the controller, the Series X makes no audible noise from strongly squeezing the grips. I would say the build quality got an upgrade, but we will have to see if that lasts with age/use. So yeah, I'd say it's a straight upgrade, but it's not so different that you need to rush out and buy a new one right away.
