  • High quality. Love it.
Ive had this controller for around 1.5-2 years and has held up amazingly. No distressing, no drift. The triggers are very nice, soft, and I’m able to slightly push it down to any degree I want. Sounds very nice, and the vibration is nice as well.

  • Unleash Your Gaming Prowess with Elegance and Precision
When I first got my hands on the Xbox Special Edition Wireless Gaming Controller in Gold Shadow, I was instantly captivated by its sleek design. The gold-to-black metallic finish wasn't just a visual treat; it made me feel like I was holding something truly special. Since I've been using it since July 8, 2024, I'm happy to report that it still feels as good as new. This controller has been my trusty companion across countless gaming sessions, and it hasn't missed a beat! One of the standout features for me has been its remarkable battery life. With up to 40 hours of play, I rarely find myself reaching for the charger, making it perfect for those long weekends of gaming marathons. The controller’s ability to seamlessly switch between my Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and even my phone has been a delightful surprise. Whether I’m diving into an intense FPS on my console or relaxing with a casual game on my Android, the transition is smooth and hassle-free. The Gold Shadow edition isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a powerhouse of functionality too. The hybrid D-pad and textured grips have made a noticeable difference in my gaming accuracy and comfort. I’ve experienced no drifting issues, and every button press feels responsive and precise. The inclusion of the new Share button is a thoughtful touch, allowing me to capture epic gaming moments effortlessly. Plus, the ability to customize button mappings means I can tailor the controller to my unique play style. Overall, this controller has added a new level of excitement and comfort to my gaming adventures. It’s not often you find a piece of tech that combines style, durability, and versatility so flawlessly. If you're looking to elevate your gaming experience, this Gold Shadow edition is a fantastic choice. ... show more

  • Great controller for Xbox
I bought this Xbox remote as a replacement for my son’s, and he absolutely loves the color. He plays with this controller every day, and it’s his favorite one out of all his controllers. It functions great, and I’m glad he enjoys it.

  • REVIEW WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT INFO OF THIS XBOX CONTROLLER!!
The media could not be loaded. Good packaging, it wrinkled a little because I used Amazon prime with free shipping. Easy to connect to Windows 11 PC, it literally only took me less than 5 minutes + a Youtube tutorial to use it with Bluetooth. It comes with AA batteries, they are not rechargeable, but they are of very good quality. I was playing Naruto Storm 4 on PC for 3 hours and it didn't go below 100%. They are from my Duracell brand. (I write this a week after buying the controller: the AA batteries have not discharged yet, they continue to work at 100%, without failures, with more than 6 hours of play during the last week, that is, they are very good) It comes with a code to configure the controller on the PC. It comes with a manual on how to connect it to the PC safely in case you can't find a tutorial, even so, the Bluetooth mode is the best. The grip, the quality of the buttons, plastics and so on is of good quality. The paint is also of good quality. It is not metal, it is plastic with a metal design similar to gold. It responds well to PC games, and the PC detects it very easily, since the PC with wind 11 and 10. They already come with those configurations. I don't know previous versions. Yes, if you buy it from this link or sections, you will receive the original and not the Renewed version from Amazon. The renewed one from Amazon comes with some system failures, there is nothing at the moment. Additionally, in the description of this page it tells you that the manufacturer is Microsoft. Otherwise, with the other page that tells you that the manufacturer is Amazon. The lowest price I found it at was $54, on Amazon prime day it is $56. On black Friday I don't know. If you want to use it at night, the buttons tend to make a lot of noise, especially A,X,B,Y. They sound a lot. On the other hand, it can be connected to PS2, PS3, Wii etc. emulators. Just look for the option that says Xinput or something similar in the current emulator. In my case, I'm playing God of War One on PS3 and it works great with the controller. The same on the PS2, I already did some tests on that one too. ... show more

  • I like the styling, but none of these controllers last more than a year. It's really frustrating
Well like I said in the title, I like the styling on this one. It's a nice design. The Xbox wireless controller is on its face, a quality product. It works well for a while. Unfortunately, these things do eventually fail because anything with moving parts eventually fails. However, given the price of these things, it's really frustrating to have to buy a new one every 6 months to a year. Buttons start to stick, analog sticks begin to fail, and bumpers don't get me started on the bumpers. All of the bumpers have on the controller itself inside a thin layer of material that prevents plastic on plastic contact. However, that little thin strip of material tends to wear down over time. Worse, it tends to come loose in small pieces and gum up the works inside your controller. Meanwhile, the bumpers that no longer have these little pieces of material, start to go clack Clack clack clack every time you press them. Eventually if not taken care of, these will also start to fail and stick. If you're going to spend this kind of money on a controller, it should last more than 6 months. Unfortunately the warranty is only good for 3 months. They know this thing fails after a certain amount of time, especially with heavy use. But they make money off of controllers. So they're going to keep making a product that is designed to fail. ... show more
