    Good purchase for the price. Did not like that it didnt have the small buttons on the bottom but other than that it does the trick.

    IT WAS REALLY GOOD. The sticks do not drift after months of use. You can change the colors of this controller which is a great feature.

    Controller worked fine but gets very slick after using for a short time. It has no grippy texture at all just smooth plastic

    I love it. It's a decent build quality, and for the price I can't complain. If I paid a little more, I would have gone with something with a grip on the back. But I personally love the RGB and the smoothness of the controller. Plus the actually controls are very responsive. All around good controller. Works for both Windows PC and Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. It is wired, even though the cord can be unplugged from the controller, it does NOT have any wireless functions. If you want a wireless controller just get the standard Xbox controller.

    A decent third party controller to let the kids have without worrying about it. Price is decent, everything works well and cord had enough length on it to be practical

    Got this as a replacement after my pdp wired controller's left stick button stopped working. Thankfully the left stick button on this controller works. Used to also have the afterglow light pipe wired controller, and I honestly preferred the look of the lights on that one more than the 4 simple LEDs inside this one. Anyways, works great, good buttons sticks and triggers and works great with headphones.
