Bought a new/used one and it honestly came with no problems until about 6 months in there was a bit of stick drift but it seems to have resolved itself. Otherwise great controller, looks and feels smooth. 100% Reccomend

This is by far my go to faming controller. Not only is it a scuff controller but even better, the led lights make it so much more stylish. It is a must buy!

Picked one of these up for 20 dollars as an open box and it was just as new. Works pretty good after about a month and the cord it comes with is long. As a final small bonus it has two buttons on the underside bound to the A and X inputs and you can set how deep the triggers can be pushed in with two 3 position switches.

Although this controller was cheaper than the common ones for Xbox, the way it feels and plays it’s amazing. Being a cabled controller is something we gamers try to avoid getting at times, but due to the built in LED lights, it’s worth it. The way the lights look, and how you can customize the lights all around the controller is a major plus… truly recommend it!

Perfect for a longevity type controller, meaning it can be in a good condition if kept taken care of properly. The extra buttons in the back are amazing for non-claw players because of the extra buttons the back. The Midas look is also clean as well.

This controller has been a great choice for my kid. Its price range means if it breaks it doesn’t break the bank to get a new one! Had it for about 1 month at this point and it’s still held up to a child gamer! Has my vote for a good product. It is wired so that does give it a point of failure that wireless takes care of but again so far held up well.

Absolutely! So, the Xbox wired controller is a solid choice for any gamer. It's got a comfortable grip that makes it easy to hold for hours, which is super important during those long gaming marathons. The button layout is super intuitive, so you can play without having to look down to find the right button.
The best part? The wired connection means you won't have to worry about batteries dying in the middle of a game. Plus, it's got a super responsive feel, with triggers and bumpers that give you the precise control you need to nail those critical game moments.
The durability is also top-notch. This controller can take a beating and keep on going, which is perfect for when the gaming gets a little intense. And let's not forget the price point – it's usually more affordable than wireless options, giving you great value for your money.
All in all, if you're looking for a reliable, responsive controller that won't let you down when it matters most, the Xbox wired controller is definitely the way to go. Happy gaming!

It works great for my Xbox! The one thing to note when using this controller that it doesn't directly tell you is in order to adjust the volume, you have to download the app, max out the controller volume on the app, then use your headset or speakers to manually adjust the volume as needed! I didn't know this at first and was worried that I received a defective product because the game volume wasn't getting louder at first.
