This is a good controller. It’s light and feels good in the hand. Good but plasticy textures on the triggers. The sound controls on the front are amazing. The big problem for me was the connection. After about 4 months of regular use the controller started having issues staying connected. Ive tried the wire on my other controllers and it works fine, meaning something in the controller itself seems to have the issue.

Works great. Don’t need to worry about batteries. Don’t need the extra buttons but they are cool and I might start tinkering with settings on some FPS games

For the price you can’t beat it. Had good grips and good feel in the hands. Has action buttons on the back that a mappable and the interface buttons are easy to figure out. Fantastic controller for the price.

The cord is nice and long and made to a high quality. The headphone Jack can be a little funky, but when it works it works awesome with the surround sound setting on the controller. The controller looks great, and is very light too. The Xbox button sadly doesn’t light up though, so at times that makes it look a little “fake” per say?! Overall a very good controller for a pc or for an Xbox if your Xbox is nearby where you sit down to play games.

The controler itself works and feels great, the only issue ive had is that for some reason the cord (which is a standard usb c) seems to lose connection with my pc. Not ideal when playing games that dont auto pause if control is lost.

I wanted to try a controller w/paddles for Xbox without spending a lot. This had decent reviews and was cheap. Bought December 2024. Was great at first... 2 months later, it's unresponsive & completely unusable.
Lifetime: 12/10/24 - 2/22/25
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR ISSUES:
1. Jump scare white noise (started within 1st month)
*** You're in the middle of gaming, having a good time with your friends... Out of nowhere the game + chat audio completely cuts out and is replaced with an abrasive, constant, extremely loud white noise that won't stop until you unplug your controller. I'm talking YOUR EARS RING afterwards.***
--- Happened numerous times mid game + in lobby.
--- Became more frequent over time.
--- Horrible experience every time.
2. Controller stops working (started within 1st month)
*** You're in the middle of a gunfight trying to clutch up for your team. Out of nowhere your controller stops working entirely. Your gun is still shooting at the enemy, but none of your buttons are responding. You end up losing the game.***
--- Controller is unresponsive and unusable now
--- Happened occasionally at first
--- Over time, worsened and became more frequent:
Initially, unplugging the cord + plugging it back in would resolve the issue. Then, had to restart Xbox on top of that, then multiple Xbox restarts, then controller resets, new cables, etc. It got to the point where it'd take 20-40 minutes of troubleshooting for the controller to become responsive again... Only for it to fail as soon as I started playing again.***
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's a shame really. This controller could've been great. It feels very nice in my hands. The audio customization features are awesome when paired with my turtle beach headphones. The buttons were durable. I had no stick drift issues of any kind. It truly was perfect for a few weeks.
If you're going to buy this controller, buy the 2 year geek squad protection so you can get a replacement when it breaks.

I've been really pleased with how the controller works with my PC, but I've been really impressed with its compatibility with the Xbox. It's incredibly versatile when it comes to handling my audio between games and chat with the controller. So far I've had no issues with its response time or connection to either device. Very happy with the purchase!

Good feel, good response, cord would stop recognizing for a week or 2. but seems to have worked itself out. Otherwise no complaints, would buy another.
