    This controller is smaller than the regular Microsoft-branded ones. It is wired and lighter than the wireless ones due to no batteries. The precision of the sticks seems pretty good (I was mostly lining up shots in Pool). The only bummer with this controller is that it was made prior to Microsoft adding specifications for a standard 3.5mm headset jack in their own controllers. Previous controllers (not this one) only had a 'device port' where accessories could plug in, and it looked somewhat like a micro USB connector. The older Microsoft controllers required you to purchase a headset adapter that had this special connector on one end, which is inserted into the controller, and the 3.5mm audio jack on the other end. To make this controller cheaper, the company didn't implement that special connector, either. So the only time I can use this controller is when I'm not playing multiplayer online. I have no way to connect a headset, either by a standard jack or by using the headset adapter. Whenever a friend comes online, I have to switch to my other controller that has a headset jack. Why do I use this one, then? Because the Microsoft controllers go through batteries too quickly, which I assume is due to the special connector port outputting data for both chat and game audio. The 360 controllers seemed to last at least twice as long as the new ones. Anyway, this controller is good if you have no one to talk to. If you want to use a headset for game audio, I use a pair of Turtle Beach headphones that plug into the TV's RCA speaker output, because there's no way to get game audio or chat functionality through this controller. There are newer third-party controllers that have the 3.5 mm headset jack, so I recommend going with one of those over this.

    I have a weekly group that comes to my home to play COD and Halo on my Xbox One. I have 3 official Xbox One controllers, and one of these. And this little guy has become a MAJOR fan favorite. Nothing against the official Microsoft controllers, but the smaller and lighter size has been the envy of everyone in the group. There are several former and current Play Station fans in the group and they fight over this little guy because it fits the size and weight of a PS controller (their words, not mine). For the price it's an easy buy.

    I bought this for my friend's 9 and 5 year old boys. Fits perfectly for their hands and even when I picked up the controller it wasnt too cramped for my XL glove sized hands. The controller felt solid as well as the buttons and sticks. Also a neat thing I did not know about the wire was that it has a breakaway in the wire ala the original xbox controller. So you get plenty of cord and dont need to worry about damaging the USB input and port when you get a little excited and rip on the controller. That's a big plus. It's ridiculous to bust a 50 cent piece of hardware that ruins a 60$ piece of equipment (i.e. micro usb port of original xbox one controller).

    I think that it's always a good idea to have an extra controller on hand that doesn't require batteries. Theses the one that I strongly suggest having on hand. great fit for smaller hands. No nonsense , straight forward and intuitive design. Well constructed and backed by a comprehensive manufacture's warranty. Extended Break-away cord and added bonus.

    This wired controller is perfect for smaller hands ( children & Victor Rivera) the standard Xbox one controller is too big for my 8 year old daughter. We got her Disney infinity and this controller is the perfect size. Plus it's wired, no worries with batteries, and the cord has a breakaway feature as to not cause damage if its tripped over.

    This controller fits my 5 year old son's hands much better than the regular Xbox One controller. So far it seems decently built, which is rather important since its probably going to be dropped more than I like. =P

    Best Small Xbox One Controlled on the Market

    Got this smaller size controller for my fiance and she loves it. It comes tethered to the console so no batteries or chargers required. Works just like the regular controller but slightly small for the female gamer or for those who have smaller hands and feel more comfortable using it. I have no problems playing with this controller as well. So overall, great buy.

    We have more than 1 child and new 1 controller would not be enough. Even though it is smaller than the other controller, it has all the same features. I like that it came in a different color so that each child didn't have the same. It seems to be holding up to boys and dogs.

    It's always a risk when buying off-brand controllers for consoles. They're notorious for breaking almost immediately. Usually with the buttons jamming, not syncing or the USB cord just going out, etc.. I haven't had too many issues with this one. It's smaller than the usual x-box one controllers which is why I bought it and it's easy to hold and use.

    Great Controller A Few Issues

    I bought the controller as a 2nd so my friends could play NBA 2K15 with me. I did not realize it was the smallest controller ever made. It can be frustrating to use if you are not used to the size. The left thumbstick was also more sensitive than the regular Xbox One Controller. Other than those issues it works perfect and I would recommend getting one because of the price.

    I strictly got this controller so my son and I could play together. He is rather young and has small hands so it works great for him. I however cannot use this for an extended amount of time due to its size. It feels well made and has to be plugged in.

    A controller I can actually use without looking! I wasn't a fan of the orinigal xbox controllers because I felt it was too difficult to reach all of the buttons and triggers with my little hands. My husband bought this for me so I'd play minecraft with him more often... and it is perfect!

    This controller is really small. Smaller than I expected. Its great for childrens hands. I had some initial issues getting the proper drivers to hook it up to my computer, this doesnt really affect the score I give it though, since that is really an issues for all XBox 1 controllers.

    This controller works well and is smaller than the Microsoft controllers. It get some used to for me. I thought it might work better for my daughter's smaller hands but she thinks okay as compared to the Microsoft controllers. Very reasonable price as compared to other choices.
