    My first wired xbox controller. It's so much lighter than the wireless, understandably. Def worth a try for gamers.

    I bought this wired Xbox controller not expecting much—but I was honestly impressed. The setup was plug-and-play, no hassle, and it works perfectly with my Xbox and PC. I love not having to worry about batteries dying mid-game, especially during long sessions or when my kids jump in to play. The buttons are super responsive and the analog sticks feel smooth with no dead zones. It’s also lightweight but still feels durable—not cheap or flimsy like some off-brand options. The 7 to 10-foot cable is long enough that I don’t feel stuck sitting right in front of the TV. One thing I didn’t expect: the vibration feedback is strong and makes the gameplay feel more immersive. That’s usually something I only notice in the wireless ones, so it was a nice surprise here. This wired remote is a solid pick if you want a budget-friendly option that still performs like a pro. Whether you’re gaming solo or letting the kids play Fortnite or Minecraft, it gets the job done and then some.

    The Xbox controller is comfortable, responsive, and durable. Buttons feel smooth, and the textured grips make long gaming sessions easier. It connects quickly to both console and PC with no issues. Battery life is good, and the overall design feels premium. A reliable controller worth the price

    The controller performs well for its price. It's much lighter than a regular controller, and the cable is quite long, which is convenient. Additionally, it features rumble motors, which I find appealing as a PC gamer. Overall, this controller is an excellent option if you're looking for a decent product that offers good value for the price. I also wanted to point out that there's an application available for PC that allows you to calibrate and correct stick drift.

    The PowerA Wired Controller is a solid budget-friendly option for Xbox Series X|S and PC gamers. It features responsive buttons, a comfortable grip, and two programmable rear buttons for added flexibility. The 10-foot USB cable offers plenty of room for couch gaming, and the built-in audio controls are a nice touch. While it lacks wireless capability and feels slightly less premium than official controllers, it delivers great value and reliable performance for its price.

    Works very good, it's very comfortable and it is compatable with all Xboxes including my laptop. It has a long distance cord so you don't have to sit up close and overall I think this is the best controller I've got and also it let me choose what color I want.

    I bought 3 of these controllers to play local-multiplayer with my 2 kids on our PC we have hooked up to our 75" TV. So far these have worked great, just plug and play. Controllers feel durable and responsive, and they do what they're supposed to! I would definitely recommend.

    Good Value For The Price

    Decent controller for the price. Button quality on the triggers and face of the controller are good. The bumpers, dpad, and sticks are just ok. I have a feeling this will get drift or sticky buttons after probably a year, but it’s much cheaper than the alternatives so you pay for what you get. The controller is very light since there is no battery whether internally or for AAs, it’s a plug-in only controller. very important to keep the cord in good shape, as where it plugs in looks proprietary and you can’t just swap it out with a different USB-C cord.

    I'm purchased replacement controllers in the past. They get worn out, and I don't want to shell out the money got official Xbox controllers. The positive things I can say about this controller is that the cord was pro long, and the red looks nice. Now the negatives. The triggers started giving out after about 10 minutes. You can feel how delicate the controller is right away. The moving parts don't feel very solid. After about a month, the left stick became completed unattached, and the controller was no longer usable. The price on these are good, but you get what you pay for.
