    Good quality controller. I’ve owned a few PowerA controllers, and the feel of it is good. I prefer wired controllers over wireless. The price for it is good. I use this on a PC, and have had no problems. It’s literally plug and play!

    I was skeptical about it being wired but the advantage of it is that it reduces the chances of it getting misplaced. It looks good and functions well.

    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.

    I bought the wrong controller so this was handed down to another child in the house to play with. He absolutely loves it. He said “this is my new favorite color and I am never going to break it”. He’s 8 so I know that’s incorrect but the cost of this will make it easier to replace when he needs it.

    Works great with my PC. I wanted something basic to see if I could get into gaming as a hobby. I wasn't aware when I purchased this controller that it was a generic to the original. Very solid, no creaking. Type c cable has plenty of length.

    A Budget-Friendly Wired Controller for Casual Xbox

    This is a budget-friendly controller with responsive button and overall good performance. however quality control seems hit-or-miss so not ideal for competitive or pro gamers. Therefore, it’s worth checking warranty/return options if you buy one.

    So far so good. Replaced my xbox controllers that had drift, plus i play at my desk so I'm close enough to the system to be wired. Now no more battery issues either. Comfortable to.hold, its light and the buttons all feel good.

    Honestly the controller is great, the cord is long as well which helps for those who want to sit further from a monitor or tv. And it’s worth the price also comes with the headphone jack which is amazing. It’s a great choice for those who don’t want to spend $50 on a wireless controller.

    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.

    I don't like waiting for gaming controllers to charge up, or switching out batteries. I love the simplicity of just hooking up my USB xbox controller to my PC and start playing
