Wonderful quality on these new style Microsoft controllers. Feels nice and they’ve added grips around the handles of the controllers. It’s a nice welcomed feature. This is a great buy as it comes with the charging/plug in cable. The new ones use the USB-C which is great for charging other accessories. You will need to buy the chargeable battery separately but it is plug and play without it.

Best controller Microsoft ever made. This generation are tough as nails. The older ones are crap with stick drift out the box. The gen 1 elite broke literally in pieces in 100 days. Gen 2 pretty solid but I’m being too gentle bc I’m scared. But man the grip on these new ones feel like a glizzy gen 4 if u know u know

For the money you cant beat it. It is easier upgradable to a rechargeable battery. Great controllers for others to use verses your high end ones.

There are better controllers out there, but they cost a lot more money. These Microsoft XBox controllers are the standard for a reason. They work well, have decent ergonomics, and are probably the best fit for most people. If only they included a rechargeable battery!

It does the exact job it's supposed to. It gets a bump to 4 stars for having an innovative roughed edge on the handles for better grip and long play sessions. No battery included which is insane for the pricepoint. That being said it is compatible with xbox one, the x series and steam.

This black Xbox controller with a cable connector is great. It is built to withstand hours of gaming and regular use without compromising performance and without the need of replacing batteries, it also helps with stopping the disconection for inactivity.

I don't have an Xbox, but I bought this for my PC when I'm playing games that require a controller. Works perfect for Windows PC's, literally plug and play! Also having an extra long USB-C cable is awesome.

What more can you say Microsoft rolls out another great controller and feels good in your hands. usb-c cable can be used to play without batteries, but u still need batteries or a battery pack. also, can be used as a computer controller.

Bought a refurb? Or open box version so ended up catching bad luck as the controller had stick drift when i was finally able to open it a couple weeks after purchase. I know it’s a good controller just got bad draw.

The newest Microsoft’s Xbox controller is now usb c! Plug n play that’s all! Very easy process setting it up! I do believe their controller are overpriced a controller shouldn’t cost 60 US dollars but at least it’s not 70 US dollars like Sony’s new dualsense controller

Nice controller overall. The grips are pebbles, so feel more secure than the original controller. I just wish you could turn off the share button. Every time I touch it, even lightly, it saves a screenshot. Irritating. USB c feels so much sturdier than the micro from the original controller.

Amazing controller as always, the latest model was an upgrade from the old model with micro-USB. The only gripe is still no internal rechargeable, I wouldn't mind paying more knowing that it came with an internal battery.
