    The important parts, INSIDE, Dont last, AT ALL.

    For the first month or so it was OK playing one game. Then I noticed on another game that I was constantly touching the HUGE buttons underneath, and messing up my movements. I had bought it to replace a wired PowerA controller which broke inside. I had dropped that controller ONE TIME, onto the left button, the one under the trigger. That broke a piece of plastic inside that presses on a button inside. When I disassembled it I couldn't believe that they literally depended on such a tiny fragile piece of plastic to press on the button which is soldered onto the circuit board. So other than inadvertently pressing on the big buttons under it, this one was doing ok. Then right around 9 or 10 weeks of having it , I was playing Hitman, and the left joystick began making movements to the right on its own. And it was getting sickening to say the least. I eventually had to wobble the joystick pretty hard just to stop it. Everything would be fine for a while, then out of nowhere wham, it went to the right again and again. There was actually one time when the controller was just sitting there and I heard clicking. I looked at the TV and the game I had been playing was scrolling by itself until I touched the joystick. Then after searching the problem I realized there was an app for it I never installed. That was not only useless, it seemed to make it worse. Then I learned the app is hated by lots of people for increasing problems instead of helping. Needless to say, in my frustration and violent wobbling of the joystick, I not only dropped this one as well, but when it dropped , BOTH buttons under their triggers stopped working. I opened up this one and found BOTH tiny plastic arms that press on the circuit board buttons were even smaller and made of thinner plastic than the other one. Both cracked to where there isnt enough strength in them to press the button without opening the cracks I did my own microsurgery on both buttons, using thicker plastic but the joystick problem got so bad its just unusable. I mean really. Everything is so cheaply made now. Even the 6 foot cord began to disconnect on & off. You can see a bump in it near the end that plugs into the controller. This is from it hanging from the controller, which has no doubt caused a loose connection at the plug soldering joint. 30 bucks each for these things. Thats the total cost of another wireless controller. Those things? PFFFFF, there's a horror story by itself.

    The color is absolutely beautiful and after 3 years of using it all the buttons are still intact and not one button malfunctioned. I would recommended this for the people who are short on a gaming budget!

    If your just looking for a wired controller you won't find a better one than this. The controller looks cool and feels good. It has an odd texture that might feel weird at first but it's not uncomfortable or anything. At the price it's a steal for a second controller for your Xbox one. It also works with pcs but I haven't tried it myself. The cord is detatachable but the controller still won't work without it. I expected this so it was no bother to me. If you just want a wired controller this will work great

    Awesome alternative to wireless

    First and foremost the great thing about this controller is no more batteries, my kid was going through AA batteries like crazy! So I opted for the rechargeable batteries that you charge but even that sometimes he would forget to charge it after playing. Well with this controller I was initially kind of skeptical but the buttons and all the controls are just as good as the original Xbox one controller, and the cord is really long so that they could sit a good distance away from the TV and console and still have connectivity. Very glad we got it.

    Works very well for a while but after a couple months or so starts having trouble staying connected which is weird because its wired. Feels pretty cheap but is nice to look at. Definitely look to other brands for better quality

    My son was able to get this controller working on his pc in less than 5 minutes. The feel and button sizes are correct and feels just as good as the xbox standard controllers.

    Good build and feels good in the hand! The sticks sometimes feel a bit off but if you need a nice controller in this color? Go for it! Good deal and I enjoy it. I enjoyed playing with this and the cord is -very- long so it helps with streaming video games.

    I like the Camo design. I like how you can turn off your mic by pressing the button twice. It's a good comfortable controler in your hands.

    This controller is really good for what it is. Its not meant to have a ton of bells and whistles. So if you are looking for a simple wired controller, this is it. I did not care to find out that even though it is wired, the cord disconnects from the remote. I initially bought it due to my old controller's (different than this one) cord kept falling out. So I was hoping for something that can't be unplugged. However, even with this in mind, the connection is really secure. Never comes out without intent. Only issue I have with it is that while using, I felt and heard a snap and then the right trigger lost a lot of its resistance. The controller was still usable but there was a notable lack of pressure needed to trigger it. This also came with a bit of a squeak. I had not had the controller more than 3 weeks when this happened. Overall I love the controller. I actually bought a second one as well my fiance getting one.

    Great controller. No haptic feedback.

    The controller features a nearly identical fuel to the Xbox one Microsoft controllers. Build quality is sturdy, and the weight of the controller is enough to make it feel substantial but not bulky. The responsiveness on a PC is better than using an Xbox one controller wirelessly, and the dual rumple motors work as well as an original Xbox one controller, but there are no haptic feedback motors In the triggers. If you are used the this feature it is a bit of a challenge to not use. The haptic feedback would give me feedback on if tires are slipping or breaking is to aggressive in race titles. Overall this is a high quality controller and I would recommend it even at a slightly higher asking price.

    With our Switch and PS4 Pro, we have extra controllers. But this house does PC gaming as well and my son needed one for BATTLEFRONT II. The cord is long enough where a person can lean back with their feet propped up and game for extended sessions. The Black Camo is a nice design. The controller works perfectly! Now they don't need to borrow mine.

    These controllers are a great value but beware horrible build quality! Bought two initially, they worked for a few months but then joystick broke on one. Bought another, worked but then the previous one purchased the first time the right trigger broke. These were not abused, stored properly just terrible build quality. Joystick on newest one is already starting to drift. DO NOT BUY!

    After buying a $150 MS controller and it breaking 3 times I decided to go for a cheaper controller. This serves the purpose but my son says the joystick “sticks” at times and causes him to be killed in his games. Have yet to find a controller that doesn’t give him issues.

    This is the second one I have bought as I wore my first one out completely. It may not be the very top of the line but it works for me on my computer when I need to use a controller. I had quite a few hours in the first one I bought so again I have no problem buying a new one. This would make a great back up controller to the more expensive ones on the market.

    Bought this to replace my orignal xbox controller. Well the price is good at $30.00. This is a no frills controller so don't expect flashy led lighting or wireless convenience with this baby. Shes old school like the original and unfortunately she is a bit on the cheap side like the price. The trigger buttons stick some times and feel loose, the axis sticks work well as do the momentary buttons so far. If you are low on cash shes not bad, But you may want to buy the BestBuy extended warranty on this one I think you will surely need it with regular use.
