    Plug & Play

    It's the "ol' reliable" product when it comes to plug and play capabilities with many games you're likely playing on Steam. Works perfect wireless or wired, occasionally will drop signal for a few seconds but it's very rare and probably dependent on your PC. I keep mine plugged in and hit the X button whenever I want it to activate, and boom, Hades 1, Hades 2, and Devil May Cry (1-5 + the reboot) are suddenly perfectly mapped at the touch of a button. Good stuff frfr

    The Xbox controller has been improved but keeping the design we all love and enjoy. I love the new "Share" button that allows you to take screenshots instantly. This was the main reason I purchased this controller to use with my Xbox One. Also, the triggers have improved grip which is awesome. The new D-pad is great!! The overall controller feels wonderful and I am very happy with my purchase. I plan to purchase different colors when more colors are available. Also, I am very happy that my battery packs from my Xbox One controllers work flawlessly on the new Xbox controller. Thank you, Microsoft!!

    I recently purchased a new controller because Microsoft has a problem making products that are unusable after 6 months. If stick drift isn't a issue for you its a solid controller. If you play fps games expect stick drift in about 6 months to a year max depending how often you game.

    Got this one for a great price during the holidays, and there's a cool "coating" effect that doesn't really translate until it's in your hands, gives the different colors a different response as light hits them, just a very cool effect. Feels great in the hands as usual - good non-slip on the back, decent battery life, etc - all the usual goods. Cannot go wrong with these first-party controllers, especially when they look this good!

    The best yet standard Xbox controller

    I've been gaming with Xbox since the original launch console so I've grown accustomed to all their controllers over the generations and this is the most solid one yet. The aesthetics of the Series controllers are very clean and pleasing. Nothing garish or hard to understand about it. As soon as you look at it you know exactly what everything is supposed to do and how it functions. The Shock Blue color is especially gorgeous. It's such a rich deep blue color. Coming from the Xbox One controller the only BIG new feature is the dedicated share button. I'm using this controller on PC for now and I've only used on Steam and currently Steam does not support this button. I'm sure if I used the Xbox service on PC it might support the button but I haven't tried it yet. The rest of the new things on the controller are just quality of life improvements. Textured undersides where your hands grip and over the triggers. USB C to keep up with the times. The D-Pad is especially nice and might be in my top 3 if not my number 1 d-pad of all time. It clicks with every press and the four main directions are raised higher to make it clear which one you are pressing. I tried this out with Street Fighter V and I was whipping out shoryukens and hadokens with ease I haven't felt since using a Sega Saturn controller or the Neo Geo Pocket Color's little joy stick. The controller may not be as forward thinking as the Switch's Joy Cons or the Playstation 5's DualSense but it is probably the most solid standard controller to date from any manufacturer.

    I recently got my hands on the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller, and I’ve gotta say, it’s a solid piece of controller! The design feels great—comfortable grip, responsive buttons, and textured triggers make long gaming sessions easy. What really stands out is its versatility. This thing works seamlessly across so many devices: Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs, Android, iOS, and some smart TVs. Pairing it via Bluetooth or Xbox Wireless is a straightforward, and I love that I can switch between my console, phone, and laptop without missing or dropping anything. The battery life (with the AA batteries or optional rechargeable pack) is decent, lasting through marathon gaming. My only gripe is the lack of a built-in rechargeable battery in the base model, but overall, it’s a reliable, cross-compatible champ that’s tough to beat for the price

    [Employee of bestbuy] I have owned a handful of the new Xbox Series X/S controllers in the past few years, and one thing that I can say for certain is that the new design is much more comfortable and practical than previous models. Although, like many controllers from different brands today, stick drift does seem to happen after a while. With that being said, the color design on this specific controller is very sleek. Great controller!

    It seems that Microsoft's new gamepad takes inspiration from the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, offering some of the premium controller's top-notch design features in a more affordable-feeling form. The result is a sleek, affordable and accessible controller, which just feels nice to use.
