Customers highly value the build quality, RGB lighting, and programmable back buttons of the Spectra Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S. Many appreciate the long cable and customizable color options, finding the controller comfortable to hold and enjoyable to use. However, some customers reported issues with stick drift and trigger malfunctions after relatively short periods of use. These issues detract from the otherwise positive user experience.

The controller is alright for light gamers. Those that regularly game will develop stick drift as the sticks wear easily.

Has a great feel, and the options for the RBG lighting is fantastic (incredibly customizable, which I wasn't expecting)! A good pick up for anyone looking for a solid Xbox/pc controller with a little style

Good alternative to the Fusion Pro 2. Had the Pro 2 for a while until the back bumpers broke off. I like this one as it is cheaper but still has the mappable numbers on the back. Not a fan of the lights but glad I can choose to turn them off.

Great controller. Son loves the ability to change the colors and extra buttons next to triggers that he can create new layouts to. Strongly recommend getting a usb extension with this.

I love not having to buy batteries anymore. Control is great looking. You can put your own colors and make adjustments to the trigger buttons to make them react faster.

I really enjoyed the feel of the controller. The sticks are, tight, and buttons responded well at first. I also enjoyed the triggers locks for speed control in games.
However…
The colors and programmable buttons reset every once in a while. The fist cord that came with it broke in a few weeks, and I get stuck drift in the right stick.

It's a serviceable controller. Was pleased with the design of the cord plug. It's not going to accidentally fall out. The 2 programmable buttons are super handy. Would be way better if you could set them per game.
It's very loud especially the triggers. The extra buttons not having a game profile is pretty disappointing. My headset doesn't work considering the controller has a built-in headset control that's a big bummer.
