I'm a sucker for LED-lit controllers. This one is great so far! The sticks and buttons all feel nice and the triggers as well. It has a good weight to it and the cord is plenty long for where I sit.

Afterglow - Wired Controller for Xbox Series X/S Multi - Multi controller is perfect. For one I was getting very tired of replacing batteries it seem like every 4 days or so. I know alot of gamers might not wired controllers. Trust I was one until now it works with all Xbox consoles One , S , X and the Series X. Very well made and responses very well while playing any game. The wired cord is very long at least 8 feet. And the features I like is the LED lights and the wired cord does detach from the controller if some one comes by or gets caught in the wire. Highly recommend to all and very responsible price. Thanks

For being a wired controller it is great and works well for my PC. I love the glowing aspect for when I am sitting at night in my gaming room.

Love the Kaleidescope of color choices, smooth operation. Cord is the perfect size for me, the big ones are unmanageable.

Solid weight to controller, clear housing with lighting effects are cool. Unfortunately, the lighting makes it tough to glance at the controller if you need to see which buttons are where. Micro USB cable is outdated and should be USB-C at this point. Responsive controller though and feels like it should last.

Worked good for awhile. It eventually developed drift and I bought a new controller with electromagnetic sticks. For what this one is tho, its very comfortable. The glow made it easy to see buttons at night.

This is the next option. It works great, feels good in the hand and has a cord long enough to let my kid sit back a couple of feet.

Great controller. This is the 3rd I have purchased. The first lasted 3 years and the second was a gift. I'm not happy that is has more than doubled in price, but for the money...it's great.

This is my personal favorite, no batteries to mess around with and the cord reached across the room. Never had an issue with the performance of the controller.

Drift Issue

Had one for a year or so, well taken care of but it started to drift. Ordered an "open box excellent" to replace it, and it was clearly extremely used with even worse drift than mine. Can't blame the manufacturer for selling me a severely used item when it was the store's fault on the open box mishap, but clearly there is a drift issue with these controllers.

I liked it enough to buy two of them. The price was right, it feels good in the hand, and it light up. I use this on my PC for some games. I got a second for my son.
