    Good Controller, Great Warranty Support

    This controller is nice and has a button built into the bottom of each grip that you can assign any of the other buttons to. Unfortunately after about 6 months the controller started to experience drift on the right analog stick. The good thing is that I filed a claim with PowerA on their website, provided the proof of purchase from Best Buy and had a replacement the very next week. While I won't give it 5 stars due to the right analog stick failing within 6 months, I believe the 4 star rating reflects PowerA's quick response with sending a new controller as a replacement under warranty.

    Great updated controller. Easy to hold onto. Worth the price for a plug in controller.

    This is the first controller I’ve gotten with paddles/buttons so I’m mostly comparing it to the standard Xbox one controller. The buttons all have a great feel to the and the ones on the back are in a very natural spot. It’s super easy to program them I’ve even done it in game. My one complaint about the controls is that it’s rather difficult to press the sticks in and sometimes it feels like I push it but the command doesn’t go through. I generally just spam that for running anyway so it’s not a big issue. The sticks have a texture to them which grips very well but also picks up and traps dirt very well. I’d recommend cleaning it regularly and also just washing your hands before your play. One last critique is with hooking up a headset to this. There’s a faint buzzing feedback sound that comes through the microphone. It’s no fault of theirs it’s just something that happens with all wired controllers or even a wireless controller plugged in to charge. It’s not awful but it’s enough to be annoying to some of my friends. If you have a wireless headset or connect your microphone through other means then you have nothing to worry about. I don’t have the best headset in the world though so a better headset might filter some of that out. Overall I’m very happy with this controller for the price. The buttons/paddles really do make a difference and I’d recommend this controller to anyone looking to try them out.

    I’m tired of spending a lot of money on the official wireless controller that breaks every 6 months. I recommend purchasing this with the geek squad warranty instead. The cord is long enough and it feels & plays really well.

    It’s a decent wired Xbox controller for the price. My only gripe with it is the audio jack has a little noise when using headphones.

    The price was great I felt great but did not last started having drifting issues on the left thumbstick in less than a year. If you need something that feels good and works well get one of these if you don't play too often

    The controller worked great, no probs. We quickly realized wired controllers wouldn’t work for us after tripping on it a few times. We returned it just bc I didn’t want to ruin our actual Xbox by knocking it over repeatedly!
