Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overview / First Impressions: The Velocity Green edition arrives with the same form factor and internals as Microsoft’s recent Xbox wireless controllers, but the vivid green finish gives it personality. It feels like the “fun” version of a serious tool. The matte surface is pleasantly grippy, not slick. In the box: the controller itself, minimal documentation, and (usually) AA battery support — no rechargeable battery pack included by default. What Works Well: The shape is familiar (if you’ve used modern Xbox controllers), and it suits a wide range of hand sizes. Textured grips on the triggers, bumpers, and back case help during longer sessions — less slipping, better control. The hybrid D-pad feels responsive and precise (though not perfect), especially for fighting games or platformers. Xbox Wireless + Bluetooth — works seamlessly with Series X, S, older Xbox One systems, PC, and many cloud / mobile setups. USB-C support is a welcome fallback (plug & play) when wireless isn’t ideal (e.g. for low latency). Headset jack (3.5 mm) is present, so you don’t lose out on audio / voice chat options. Microsoft claims up to 40 hours of usage under ideal conditions. That’s optimistic but realistic in lighter use. Because it uses AA batteries natively, you have flexibility (rechargeables, battery packs, etc.). The console doesn’t ship with a built-in rechargeable battery, so that’s both a plus (flexible) and a minus (extra cost if you want “plug-in” convenience). The Share button is a nice addition: you can snap screenshots or record clips depending on how you configure it. Using the Xbox Accessories app, you can remap buttons or create custom profiles. That gives you some power to tailor it to your playstyle. The bright Velocity Green finish looks bold without being garish. Where It Falls Short: Because it’s not modular (e.g. paddles or swappable components), it’s not as customizable as higher-end pro controllers. The 40-hour claim often assumes minimal vibration, moderate use. With heavy vibration and active lights, battery life shrinks. Some users might prefer a built-in recharge solution (USB-C only, internal battery) — here you're reliant on your own battery choices. The green finish, while eye-catching, might show scuffs or grime over time more than darker models. Occasional minor input lag or connection drop in Bluetooth mode (especially in crowded wireless environments) — though for most users this won’t be a dealbreaker. Verdict & Who It’s For: If you want a reliable, stylish controller that works across Xbox, PC, and mobile, and you don’t need full pro-level modular customization, this is a very solid pick. The Velocity Green color gives it character without compromising function. I’d lean 4 out of 5 stars — one point off for trade-offs around battery and extreme customization. But in everyday use? It holds up well.

Awesome. Works better than my Elite 2 Controller, unfortunately. Nothing special, but it does the job i need it to! The color is sweet, too. I also use it with my PC and it works great. Switching between your paired devices is super easy; just double press the pair button inbetween the LB and RB buttons to swap between your paired console/pc.

Works great, awesome color, and only wish they were cheaper.

Your basic Xbox controller. Will very likely get stick drift in the future. But it comes in handy when you just want to pull out a controller at any location. Doesn’t come with any cables whatsoever. Id recommend geting a rechargeable battery & even a cable that is COMPATIBLE with Xbox controllers.

Great controller for pc games. Issue is needs AA Batteries. Bought a rechargeable battery. Now it’s on my sons desk and still working.

I got the green controller for my boyfriend, it's his favorite color. It's perfect, love the color scheme of green and white. It delivered with the rest of my order and very quickly, was packaged perfectly, and connected to my console with absolute ease. We are happy with this product!

Microsoft pretty much perfected the controller with the Xbox One/Series controllers; but to have it in Velocity Green?? Instant purchase. The shade lf green is very bright and very pleasing to the eye. Good for any controller collector if youre missing this color green in your controller rainbow! As for functionality, it lives up to Xbox standards as incredibly reliable. Don’t hesitate to buy this!

Works as should. I like how it vibrates when it’s in my lap.

The color is great, and a new controller always feels nice.
