Customers are saying

Customers value the Afterglow Wired Controller's high-quality build, customizable lights, and ease of use. Many appreciate its compatibility with multiple platforms and the long cord length. While some users reported issues with button wear and stick drift over time, the positive feedback on the controller's features outweighs these concerns. The vibrant color options are also frequently praised.

    Not bad product, I really like the app you can download on the Xbox to control the lighting effects. Didn’t work well with my plug in mic.

    My son uses this controller. He isn't the biggest fan. He indicated that it has extra buttons, and it does not connect well with his headset.

    Got this for my son. He has an Xbox one s. He can’t use it with a headset and microphone. You plug it in and the sound is muffled on both ends. Switched controllers to confirm it wasn’t the headrest and it was in fact just the controller.

    Left stick and both triggers dead after one week of mild use. Less than 6 hours total time. The lights still work... but I purchased this controller to play games, not look at the pretty lights~!

    Really cool light settings and worked great for a month, but then the X-button slowly started sticking tonight until it got stuck completely down and won't come back up.
