Color: Xbox- Black Spectra
This controller has surprised me with it's build and quality. I've been using it for nearly a month now and so far there are no issues other than my right stick being a bit loose/wobbly out of the package to where it registers inputs with 0 deadzones. Other than that, the controller works, looks amazing, and is better than my other controllers I've had in many ways. No software/firmware updates required. Just plug and play HOWEVER! It does have it's cons as well -LIGHTS- Not true RGB. Just LED with a few lighting options. I've noticed PURPLE isn't an option. There is no color cycling, either or preset colors. LED button just turns the lights on and off. The LEDs are not fully lit up in erry spot. The outer ring has very dim and darker toned lighting than the rest and have dark/unlit spots in some parts. But at the same time, kinda adds gradients in a way. It's overall very limited on color options, but I only like the Turquoise as all my stuff is truquoise/neon blue -THUMBSTICKS- The thumbstick tension is retarded. I understand why people like tension, but in the end, it's MUCH worse. It just feels bad. Feels like a 360 controller, really. The tension feels like you can only have it centered, or pushed all the way over. As someone who's been using a Switch ProCon (Which the thumbsticks have no tension and are silky smoother almost 4 years later), I'd say this was my biggest disappointment. But I don't play shooter games with a controller anyways. The left thumbstick tension is also slightly lighter than the right thumbstick which is usually the camera stick. BUT, the thumbsticks are AMAZING. Very grippy, not insanely short, but they are kinda small. And I'd recommend thumbgrips to counter that. The texture of the thumbsticks however, is a finger cheese magnet. Careful -BUMPER BUTTONS- I don't trust the bumper buttons.. I hold it in past the clicky point and depending on how lightly I hold it past it, it'll unregister any inputs. When holding down RB or LB, gotta kinda hold it hard. But bcuz of that, pushing it is probably gonna wear it down very fast.. They don't feel right.. If I were to spam RB or LB for like 1 minute, I'm certain I'm gonna have input issues. But who knows, maybe they'll outlast my expectations -AUDIO INPUT- The volume button is alright. I was hoping it'd adjust my PC volume, but it seems it is it's own volume. It's easy to turn up and down. And the audio quality isn't the BEST, but it's still pretty good. And when you plug headphones in, the giant bright red light automatically turns on (Means it's muted) and pressing it in sometimes doesn't work, but rather turns up or down the volume. Kind of annoying. Having headphones plugged into the controller is very problematic. My cord normally hung on my desk or around my keyboard so it wasn't in the way. When plugged into the controller, it's bothersome. Short cords or wireless recommended if you're using headphones or just keep it in your PC. Windows also recognizes it as an Audio Input device, as well. And having the cord plugged in interferes with how I normally hold a controller in my lap. Don't wanna break my headphone 3.5mm thing or the jack. It overall just feels restrictive -TRIGGER LOCKS- The trigger locks are pretty great. Without Steam's BPM controller configurations, you're most likely not gonna be using the Tier 1 trigger lock as most games by default have PHAT deadzones in triggers when there should be NONE. But Steam exists thankfully. The trigger locks are uneven on my controller. My left one kinda feels slower and longer travel to register an input. And tier 2 is pointless. Either it's at quick tap mode, or you're pulling it in all the way. There's no point in having a middle tier -MATERIAL- The material is pretty great. I like the rhombus pattern texture on the handles, the buttons feel nice and glossy, the texture on top is very soft to the touch but also gets hand sweat stains very easily and hard to keep clean. The thumbsticks grind against the Anti Friction rings and create white powder, but that's inevitable on all controllers. Was hoping the anti friction would prevent that. Sadge. The Micro USB cord is braided, has a clippy thing to lock it into the socket, and is pretty stiff. Tho the clippy thing that locks the USB into the socket isn't rly doing much work. The snug fit of the USB socket is tight that I had a hard time unplugging it at first. Good thing tho. AND MAKE THEM USB C! Apart from the thumbsticks, I don't think finger cheese will be much of a concern. (Finger Cheese, btw, is the dead skin in the cracks of your controllers that look disgusting) -BUTTONS- Apart from RB and LB feeling kinda unreliable and sus, they still feel good and clicky when you click them. A B X Y is nice and big and kinda loud and mushy as erry other controller ever is. I can't wait for the day mechanical controllers are more common. Triggers feel nice, on t1 lock they're very clicky that they almost sound mechanical. Xbox button is mushy, but I rarely press it anyways. Start/Select feel solid. D-Pad shape is great, so far I haven't registered multiple unwanted inputs. The Advanced Gaming Buttons on the back are very clicky and loud. I always find myself clicking them all the time bcuz it's so satisfying. I've rebinded my Thumbstick buttons to them so I avoid wear and tear on them. The thumbstick buttons themselves were fairly stiff and loud, but I haven't broken them in yet nor do I plan on using them ever. Durability is my #1 priority -PERFORMANCE- Feels great! Playing HADES, I performed not as good as I did on my Switch ProCon, but I eventually got gud and completed the game with this controller. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the short concave sticks make parrying easy and I've been S ranking all game modes easier than with my NS ProCon. Having analog triggers for Ninja Run and Blade Mode are nice, knowing they won't unregister an input since the Switch ProCon didn't have analog triggers. Just sometimes unregistered inputs to where I was spamming blade mode without moving my left middle finger smdh. Analog triggers and the backwards ABXY layout on xbox is mainly why I got this controller and I'm satisfied -CONCLUSION- Yeah I'm satisfied. 2 year warranty is very nice, thank you PowerA. USB C would make this controller faster and more reliable as it's new and more advanced and better in erry possible way than Micro USB is. While people complain about wired controllers, and I understand why especially for couch gaming for console peasants. But know this: WIRED IS BETTER IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT'S WIRED. You're best using a wired controller for the same reason you're better off using an Ethernet cable than WiFi. Especially when getting competitive and tryna save a $$$ or 2 The price for this controller, especially for it's quality, is incredible. It's no wonder why it's the #1 selling on Amazon rn. $31 on sale, get it while it lasts. So far, apart from inevitable stick drift we will all encounter and probably the potential RB/LB button reliability concerns, there really is no downside to buying this product with that 2 year warranty and the price.

TLDR: A couple tiny issues, but overall absolutely the best Xbox profile controller on the market for the money. 100% recommend, every time. This controller is an absolute winner. I have always been skeptical of 3rd party controllers, since growing up as a kid in the 90's and 00's, those old MadCatz GameCube controllers and the like were just the worst things on earth. This controller however has made me a convert, and I would recommend it 100% to anyone. (I'm a harsh rater, my 4 stars is most people's 5) I have had 3 official Xbox One controllers fail on me over as many years for various reasons and decided to try something else, especially with their insane wallet pain pricing. 11 months after purchase, I have not been disappointed by the switch. This controller fits the same profile to the letter. It's durable, well made, and feels amazing to hold. The buttons are responsive and tactile, not squishy or lazy at all. It comes with excellent additional features, which to be fair I haven't touched much, but I could see being fantastic. Also a BIG plus is the reinforced micro USB port with removeable cable. Two of my Xbox One controllers had Micro USB failures due to long term stress placed on the flimsy port. This controller solves that with a quality bracing sleeve and clips, taking all stress off of the plug itself and eliminating wear on a sensitive port type. I only have two issues with the controller. The first is minor, which is the trigger locks. They're such a great idea, being able to reduce your trigger pull to your preference, but in reality if you have the trigger locks on at all most games won't be able to detect the trigger input. This renders the trigger locks worse than useless in almost all cases, and essentially disables the triggers. To be fair, it's not a big deal, as the triggers without the locks are just vanilla basic Xbox controller triggers, which is fine. It would just be nice if they worked as intended, sometimes I would like a shallow trigger. Oh well. The other issue that actually concerns me, and leads to the 1 star deduction, is that after 11 months of use the left primary thumbstick has about a 1/5 - 1/4 dead zone as it has worn. This means the thumbstick can wiggle a handful of millimeters either direction with little to no resistance and not engage the switches at all. It's not the biggest deal since I'm no competitive player, but it concerns me about the longevity of the controller, and I don't think the thumbstick is going to hold out for another 11 months. The same left thumbstick also got real "squeaky" (friction) recently, but the controller was very easy to take apart and lubricate with non-conductive silicon lubricant, so no biggy.

This controller is SO CLOSE to being absolutely perfect. Programmable buttons, 3 light zones with static color or breathing options. Buttons all feel amazing and response time is optimal. My only wish would be to have it in a wireless option, and for there to be more color/light mode options. You can only cycle through five colors, and there is no "color wave" option. Simply breathing or static in blues, greens, reds and yellows.. It claims there are five shades of each color, but the only changes I see are in the blue and the green. The red doesn't seem to change at all and the yellow is more orange than anything.. But you can choose up to 3 colors at once (one color per light zone) which ended up giving me a green/purplish/blue look which will do for my liking. All in all, this is the best controller choice available to PC users right now. Since it's Xbox (microsoft) it really is as simple as plug n play. All programming/light mode changes are made directly on the controller using the manual it comes with. No installing extra programs; which may have fixed my desribed light mode flaws, but it is what it is. No 3rd party installs... Simply plug in, program how you want it, and go. Can't really beat that.
