Normal Xbox controller with a few extra buttons on the bottom that you can program slide or melee for super quick access, does not contain batteries so is actually a bit lighter than a normal Xbox controller. The buttons on it react quickly and actually when pressed. And the extra long micro usb to usb cord allows you to comfortably charge any other controllers from a comfortable distance while playing. Compatible with steam on a pc as well to let you play with a controller on a pc.

I was skeptical to get it at first because it is a wire controller, but sure enough it is doing just fine! Great feel, awesome buttons, overall good buy.

I've been using this wired controller off and on for a few weeks now on my primary PC. It's been working great so far. Once it is connected to the PC the little light will always stay on. I haven't been noticing any lag or any button difference from the wireless XB1 controller.
The grip is smoother and it is a little lighter than the XB1 controller. I don't like the bumper buttons and the D-Pad on the controller but that is more of the fault of it copying from the XB1 controller. I much prefer the PS4 button layout and the mushy buttons rather than the clicky XB1 buttons but the XB1 controller feels better in the hands.
The micro USB cable is a good length and is a proprietary cable to the controller. It is detachable with a rectangular head but it has a little groove that can only fit into the controller. Why would you make the wire required and detachable but not allow it to take any other micro USB cable? I had to use an exacto knife to carve the plastic head of a better micro USB cable that I wanted to use.
It is a great value if you want an extra XB1 controller, The gold color was on sale for $20. I got it for $15 with a $5 certificate. I would not pay the $30 full retail price for it. At that point it would be better to just get the official XB1 controller for a litter more when it goes on sale.

Solid controller for the price. I use it for PC gaming and the buttons feel great. Only complaint would be the two buttons on the bottom of controller that are programmable are easily hit by mistake when shifting your hands on controller.

This Xbox Controller does its job well. It is a lightweight wired controller that works easily with my computer and my xbox. Along with the lower price tag means a little dip in feel for some of the buttons, but that has not impacted its performance.

I broke the left analog stick on (2) of my expensive Xbox one controllers in less than 30 days and refused to buy another one at $60. This was an affordable solution. Although it's not as sexy and doesn't move as fluid it's definitely worth it!

If you are able to catch this on sale then it's worth it, but don't expect it to last very long with much more than casual use. My kid goes through one of these every 4-6 months playing Fortnite, while an actual xbox controller lasts about a year or so under the same use.
Again, it's a decent controller for the price and a great spare controller or controller for younger kids.

Before I had an elite controller I used to use this. The buttons feel pretty good. I had 2 and both broke after 6 months. But whatever they’re cheap and it’s a food way to get the extra functionality.

Feels ready good in hand, all controllers response well. 10 feet of cord so I can sit back relax while playing games with out worrying about battery life.

Being an off-brand controller I was skeptical. I had never used an PowerA device before, but this controller sold me on the brand! I haven't used it on an X1, this was a replacement for my PC controller. The only real disadvantage is the wire, but the cord was a good length. The buttons and thumb-sticks feel great and are very responsive.
This controller was on sale for $19.99 and I coulnd't be happier for the price.

My favorite controller to use by far. However, regardless of the included cable's length, the slot for the usb port only let's the included cable fit in, which doesn't let you use any other, longer cables.

For the price it's a great controller for what I use it for. I play Forza on my PC with it and have had no issues other than my left trigger getting stuck sometimes but I just used the macronbuttons available on the controller to work around it
