Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Advantage Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S for its overall performance, ease of use, and reasonable price. Many appreciate the color options, button quality, design, and comfortable feel, with the cord length and lighting being additional bonuses. However, some customers have reported issues with stick drift, and some find the RGB software frustrating.

    Both thumbsticks ended up with that creaky, squeaky feeling when moving them around, and the right thumbstick became loose within a couple of months of use. I'm sure I could have just gotten a bad one, but still annoying to have to get another controller before a year of use.

    Buttons are stiff but a good starter control for a young kid.

    The overall quality and feel of this controller were surprising however the software to assign rgb zones was so infuriating I just returned it.

    I prefer to not worry about batteries so wired is for me, this is definitely the best wired controller I've tried with back paddles and programmable rgb.

    The controller is just a better option all around than buying a new xbox controller. It not only gives you trigger stops and back buttons but also the control over the lights.

    Good value. Only problem is the right analog has a slight drift to it after very little use.
