    • Best controller you can buy without breaking the bank

Review Image by Bryan Bryan
I am a huge controller fan. I probably have 10 different controllers for my Xbox Series X from the controllers that came with my console to the Elite controllers that are way more expensive. I have bought the red, blue, and clear Ghost Cipher controllers because they are, simply put, gorgeous to look at. Not only that, but they are surprisingly durable and feel pretty thick and sturdy. The rubberized back gives them a more quality feel while still being comfortable for long gaming sessions. I really like the dedicated screenshot button too. I use that a ton. My blue one is my oldest(believe I bought it in August of last year.) and I have not experienced any problems with it. No stick drift, nothing. These feel very comparable to me in regards to feel as my Elite controllers so if you are looking for a new controller and don't want to spend $200, I really feel these are a really good bang for your buck. ... show more

    • Great Controller, Loud Dpad Click
Style: Controller Color: Sky Cipher
Everyone knows that the best and most reliable controls for the Xbox and PC are the Microsoft branded ones and this is no exception. The one area that does bother me with the "cypher" line of controllers is the dpad is so loud. They really need to figure out a way to dampen the click noise. Otherwise it is standard MS quality. ... show more

Giving this controller five stars!!! Not because it's an awesome controller or I got a killer deal on it but because it's the last controller I purchased for my 18 year old son before he passed away. He never got to use the controller but assuming it's the same as every other Xbox controller we own it's a great choice. The capture button for photos or videos is nice. The textured grip feels comfortable as well. LLRC ... show more

Love the style and color of the controller and the matching color buttons and that it has no little color dots like most other controllers has because I do not like dots or multicolored button on a game controller and this controller is just what I was and have been looking for. For a long time sense Xbox style controllers came out. ... show more

Pedí dos mandos junto a otro articulo aparte y llegaron tal y cuales lo que había pedido. Entonces, ¿por qué 4 estrellas? Resulta que uno de los mandos tenía roto la cinta de seguridad que asegura que el mando no haya sido abierto, lo cual me asustó un poco y me preocupe, al abrir el mando resulta que todo estaba bien, no tenía señales de uso pero si tenía polvo, por lo que en algún momento del trayecto (no fue la empresa de envíos, el paquete si llego sellado) alguien abrió el mando y lo saco de la caja, no lo uso pero si lo dejo el tiempo suficiente para que acumulara algo de polvo, además que la caja estaba algo golpeada y si bien no descartó que algún momento esto fuera parte del transporte y que esto hubiera roto el sello, eso no me explica porque el mando tenia polvo al momento de abrirlo. Realmente todo está bien excepto eso, esto es algo más de la tienda que me lo vendió que del producto como tal, nada me garantiza que el mando que recibí sea realmente nuevo, o que sea un open box y me lo enviaron igual. ... show more

    • The best official controller you can get without going pro
Style: Controller Color: Sky Cipher
First of all, this controller is gorgeous. Unless you just don't care, pay the cost to upgrade to one of these nicer colors for a few bucks and enjoy the lovely controller when not in use. The controling is not consistent however with different colors on different pieces that contrast and clash, so if you don't like that, not the controller for you. Second of all, the clicking on this controller's D-Pad is LOUD so if that drives you crazy, maybe not the controller for you. It's a very clickety clackety controller. Third of all, battery tech and weight and controller drift do not seem to have been meaningfully advanced. Still taking AA batteries and no hall effect sticks. But you can use this with a PC? just like a 360 controller and switch to a cable if your batteries run dry, so it's arguably still one of the best built and versatile controllers money can buy for the price. If you don't need elite features and treat it gently so as not to cause stick drift, you ought to be very satisfied. It's comfortable and durable and worth the cost. Oh yeah and did I mention the the new transparent controllers are gorgeous??? ... show more
