  • The only way to play on PC!
Using a PC? You're going to need a USB-C cable and to follow these instructions before attempting to use the controller, especially with Steam. 1- Download the Xbox Accessory App on the Microsoft store. 2- Plug your controller into your PC using a USB-C cable (not included). 3- Using the App, update the controller's firmware (takes a couple minutes). 4- Once completed, now you can pair to your computer's bluetooth and everything should be perfect. My controller arrived with the box's sticker seal cut. But going through the contents, I didn't see any signs of use, everything was in place and the batteries were still shrink wrapped. Figured it'd either be ok or DOA. Turns out everything is OK. After getting it updated and paired, I launched into Steam and booted up Ys VIII. Controller was recognized as an Xbox Series X controller and all buttons mapped correctly. Works like a dream! I've never used an Xbox controller and I will say I'm quite pleased with it. I can use regular Eneloop AA batteries in it which is fantastic, and they seem to last a great while. The controller has a good amount of weight to it which makes it feel substantial and is beyond comfortable. Buttons and triggers are great, analog sticks are incredible. Basically, I've used various cheap Logitech controllers over the years like the ever-popular F310. Never again. This is like going from an HDD to an SSD. There is no going back. I don't have a ton of time for gaming these days, but even in short bursts this controller is a joy to use due to its comfort. I can't imagine controllers feeling much better than this. If you're considering this or something like the F310, I would save up for this one. It's absolutely worth it. ... show more

  • Great controller for PC
The controller works great with PC. However, out of the box the Bluetooth feature does not play well with Steam. In order to get it to work, there are a few steps you’ll have to do. 1. Download the Xbox Accessory App on the Microsoft store. 2. Connect the controller with a USB-C cable 3. Update the controller 4. Pair with windows Bluetooth devices 5. Start steam and it should recognize it as Xbox Series X/One controller. 5(a). If you paired it before doing these steps (like me). Follow steps 1-3, then go to “Bluetooth devices” remove the device and repair it. Then it should work with no issue. Build: The controller itself is very sturdy and has nice textured grips on the back as well as the triggers. Size is pretty similar to previous Xbox controllers. Battery: I can’t really comment on battery life since I just got it but I would imagine many of you will have some form of rechargeable battery. Wireless: I haven’t had any issues since pairing it nor experience any types of interference with my other wireless peripherals. The range seems good, I’m roughly 15ft away from my TV/desktop. Overall, it’s a much better controller then my ps4 controller. It plays well with Windows 10 as one would hope and once setup with Steam the buttons are automatically mapped. ... show more

  • Best Controller On Market
I do not have a preference for brands but try to go with what is best available for PC racing use. I do not have room for a wheel. It's either this or Sony. They both make great consoles and invest millions into their controllers. Bluetooth works fine just update it when you get it. This is smaller and the grips feel great. I have reasonably big man hands so the previous xbone controller was too big. I use LB/RB to shift in games and the improvement is very nice. I don't have to move my finger from the triggers to bumpers at all, can just lay the upper index fingers on the bumpers. The original version of the previous model I could not do this at all, the bumpers were awful and clicky. Then they updated it and it worked well enough. Now it's prefect. I hope it is more durable than the previous model. My issue was usually sticking triggers. I've seen a few criticisms that I do not understand: "For the price I did not expect to get a wireless controller that runs on batteries. I was expecting a charging cable." Under product info it says "2 AA batteries required. (included)." "Hopefully I can find an affordable USB-C cable and then maybe it will work" This is $3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089LWHZ4B/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_H.a5FbXY08S2E "It is heavy" Yes at 15.7 ounces it is about twice as heavy as a DualShock. Batteries make it heavier. Lithiums help. My Energizer Max AA's together weigh 1.6 ounces. I think of it as a one pound weight during gameplay which is especially important during the pandemic. I also like the DualShock I am not attacking the DuakShock. Third-party have all stunk from PS2 on in my opinion. ... show more
