    I use it on my Pc, makes gaming smooth. And it's mostly plug and play. But there's an app for it if you want to customize the color and etc.

    Works okay. We bought two and one has had a few buttons get "sticky" within a few days. I believe it was the "b" and "a" buttons. We now just use it as an extra controller. Probably should have took it back to trade for another, but the drive and hassle didn't seem worth it for a controller of this price. Not a bad value, but probably could have spent a few more dollars and got a better controller.

    It's pretty cool. Glows 3 or 4 different colors. Performs as it should and more. Love the features including taking still photos from within the games, has a jack for headphones so it doesn't disturb others in the room, very durable outlasting other controllers I've owned in the past. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a new Xbox controller.

    I bought this so me and my brother could play don't starve together and I love it. Works great looks cool, can be a bit confusing how to change colors, but I like the original blue color it starts with. Also, it works just like the other pdp controllers so I already had the software installed on my computer that is free.

    If you want something cheap this is it. But if you play daily, this might not be for you. The buttons wear out over time and analog stick isn’t centered after time. Bonus: no batteries needed and cable is at least 8feet

    I have been getting Afterglow Controllers off and on since Xbox 360 versions for my PC. I admit that the features of this controller baffle me but the app I downloaded for it through the Microsoft store is easy to use. My really main issue with it is it clacks when you use buttons and squeaky when you use the triggers however they are very responsive.
