    • 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

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

As a picky pc gamer I absolutely recommend this controller for anyone considering getting one for general gaming, first person shooters (yes, I know theres a keyboard and mouse) and 2d platforming. I'm no pro fighting game guy so can't say if i'd recommend for that but I don't see why it wouldn't be a good option I see the battery compartment as a big plus as this prevents long term head aches changing a li ion battery, if you are into recharging that way you can get the replaceable li ion battery plus 9 foot cable and you are set. Bluetooth connectivity and wired are super easy to set up and have great latency either way. The only downside is if you want to use wired headphones through your controller you have to use the windows wireless adapter The texturized grip feels great and really does help with sweaty hands for example in intense multiplayer action or when trying to beat a particullarly tough foe in sekiro for example. Feel in hand is premium, there is no plastic play and squeaky sounds if you grip it hard like in previous models, it feels solid. The dpad, front facing buttons and shoulder buttons are very tactile and give an audible feedback, wether or not you are into that is personal prefierence, for me its quite satisfying. I've heard of cases where the Y button is not very responsive but so far I have no such issues and thoroughly tested it Overall an excellent, stylish, comfortable, versatile controller. Very easy to set up and with great compatibility around the board. That's why I give it a 5 out of 5 ... show more

    • An (almost) perfect reimagining
Although there's been a lot of buzz (and rightfully so) around the new Dualsense PS5 controller, Microsoft decided to take a very different approach from Sony; meaningful, iterative improvements to an already solid base. The first version I ever used, model 1697, was the best controller I had ever used up to that point. It was the primary reason I switched from my XB360, as I was unable to pair it with the console, but the controller was too good to go back. Clicky, responsive buttons, lighter weight, easily accessible battery door, good battery life, solid accuracy and excellent haptic feedback in the triggers made me fall in love. Jump to the next model, the 1708, and all those things remained, but there was a different finish and now the awesome addition of Bluetooth. This has been the controller I've used on console and PC for the better part of 5 straight years. I've even tried to pair it with a couple Sony systems to experience some of the better games exclusive to that platform (I was unsuccessful BTW). Now, introduce this model, the 1914, and I feel like it's 2 steps forward and a step backwards. The D-Pad is outrageously good and responsive, the trigger texturing gives a more involved feel, the matte finish makes it less vulnerable to oils or greases making it slippery and the battery door redesign is a very slight but meaningful touch. Even the added feature of showing the battery level on PC is a tiny detail that shows the thoughtfulness that went into crafting this. The only reason this is not a 5 is the connectivity. Full disclosure, this is primarily used with a PC in this use case, and as such, you WILL need the XBox accessories app, as I needed to apply an update fresh out the box. The Bluetooth connection on my 1708 literally never dropped out in my entire memory of use. Extremely strong, very dependable and no lag to speak of. The 1914, not so much. There's been no observable lag, and when it works, it's easily better, but the connection is very spotty. As mentioned, an update was necessary right out of the box, and performance marginally improved, but as it stands, during a 3 hr play session last night it lost connection at least 10 times, with the Xbox light blinking a few times and going solid again roughly every 20 mins or so. I tried multiple games, including very tight shooters and it's the same thing; excellent performance when it's working, a temporary drop for no more than 5 seconds, then back to working as if nothing happened. I've already gone the driver route of making sure everything is updated correctly, but this seems to be more a 1914 problem, as the 1708 has never had this problem with a console or 3 different PCs with 3 different Bluetooth adapters. Funny though, a wireless adapter is available, and is touted as the primary way to connect without a USB cable (the USB cable does work flawlessly BTW). Of course, there is a fee for this adapter, which makes me feel like this is the classic create a problem, sell the solution sort of scenario, which has soured my experience greatly here. This is a relatively new device, having only been on the market for a little over a month at the time of this writing, so it's definitely possible for this issue to be resolved, but there's currently no discount for this unit, so you're being asked the complete price for an incomplete experience for the time being. Once (if) this issue is resolved, I will absolutely change this to a 5, but right now, with the drops, it's a mediocre purchase at best, with the 1708 currently being a better option, and at a lesser price. Best of luck. Edit: In order to have the update applied, you must FIRST connect to the PC with your USB-C and use the Xbox accessories app to update, then, most importantly, you must UNPAIR the controller if it was previously paired. If it's the first time pairing, it won't be an issue, but if you previously were paired before the update, it will not apply. After following these steps, I can confidently report all connection issues have been fixed, and there have been no Bluetooth drops to speak of. This is now a 5 star device. ... show more

    • Its a good controller but theres still some technical flaws with the bluetooth connectivity
I dont have an Xbox Series X yet but i did need a new controller for my PC so I got one of these to kind of future proof myself and have the extra controller. Its got nice feedback meaning the clicks of the buttons especially the bumpers are a bit more satisfying than the previous xbox one model. Its weighted a little better. A bit more balanced which should lead to less drops, which is good because I kept destroying my bumper buttons when the old controllers dropped. It doesnt connect with my windows 10 PC via bluetooth as smoothly as the xbox one version of the controller does. And yes I updated it first by plugging it in. And no it doesnt come with a cable so if youre using it for PC and dont have a USB A to USB C cable youll need one. And i mean need. Because even after the firmware update connectivity is a little fussy I cant imagine what its like without it. It doesnt quite "plug and play" intuitively like the previous model does with PC. The last one i just plugged it in once to update the firmware, had it paired via bluetooth, and never had a problem. With this one I get random (albeit brief) disconnects or other random problems. For instance when I was playing Madden earlier the game thought I had two controllers plugged in (yes I removed all controllers from my PC via bluetooth) which prevented me from playing my franchise mode properly. Nothing a quick restart couldnt fix but... i never had to restart my computer because the xbox one controller had issues. If i had to do it all over again I would have bought the xbox one version. For one it works better with PC which is what im using it for and also it comes with a cable which this does not. I see people bagging on the replaceable battery being a problem instead of an internal one. I cant say I disagree but i have about 20 rechargable AAs running through my household at any time so this is zero problem for me. It may be for you so I thought id mention it. ... show more

I've been gaming since 1980 on my brother's Intellivision. Since then I have either owned or sampled every single home gaming machine's controllers over the past 4 decades. When Xbox came out with their original design, pre S series, it was a step in the right direction. When they replaced it with the S version they produced the most perfect gaming controller in existence. Over the years it hasn't changed much and that's a good thing. It doesn't need to be changed. This controller is an extension of that. Perfection in blue. I've had 0 problems with it and it's fantastic. Additionally, I've found that this controller has more features than I realized. While playing Forza, the trigger buttons started vibrating and giving feedback. I was shocked! I had no idea that it could do that. So, even now, I'm being totally surprised by a gaming controller's features. ... 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
