    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.

    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

    It functions just like an xbox controller should. The action buttons seem a little extra springy, but I kind of like the feel. The real advantage to this control, as a gaming mother in a house full of //boys//, is that I no longer find my controller covered in the slime and grime that is the adolescent males inability to carry out fuctions of basic hygiene, and their insistent need to eat PB&Js and play Lego Batman at the same time. It all still happens, just not on this pink hodge-podge of craziness. So, 100% approve of this controller and it's crazy coloring. It says, "That's mom's."

The button layout is intuitive, and the inclusion of the share button is a welcome addition for capturing and sharing memorable gaming moments effortlessly.

The inclusion of USB-C charging is a modern touch that I appreciate. In conclusion, the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller in Pulse Red combines style with functionality. Whether you're a casual gamer or a seasoned pro, this controller delivers a satisfying gaming experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their gaming peripherals.

    Best Color Controller

    I didn’t know I needed a pink Xbox controller until I held one—and now my old black one just feels… emotionally unavailable. The color pops without being too loud, and the matte finish gives it a smooth, premium feel. It’s got that classic Xbox comfort, responsive buttons, and solid grip—even during sweaty final-circle moments in Warzone. Bonus: it adds just the right touch of “I game, but make it fashion.”

    Great controller for PC gaming as well as Xbox

    Great controller for PC gaming and I presume for XBOX as well. The texture on the hand grips definitely helps with keeping the controller stable during those intense firefights. The control sticks feel comfortable and don't require a lot of movement to direct. The new d-pad is definitely a step up from the older XBOne d-pad. I've been using this since early November for primarily 3rd person shooters and racing games. The difference in input response in wireless mode versus plugged in is negligible. I do like that Microsoft built this controller with USB-C for the connector. The only real complaint I have is that the controller still doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery. So you'll need to get rechargable for this if you don't want to be replacing alkalines. Also, the purple shimmer effect on the shell is absolutely amazing. Pros: -Comfortable rubber textured grips -Comfortable rubber textured sticks -Improved d-pad -USB-C connector for wired play and charging on some battery packs. -Works on Xbox One, Series S and X, and PC. -Bluetooth connection is stable on Windows 11 Cons -No built-in battery pack, will need to buy rechargeables or invest heavily in alkalines depending on play time.

    My girlfriend bought this more me as a Christmas gift last year. A year later and it has held up with how much I game. The controller feels great and the vibrant color adds so much pop. I have actually stopped using my Playstation 4 controller and have prefered using Xbox controller instead. Absolutely solid controller and would love to buy more!
