  • New version, works great
Color: Pulse Red Edition: Wireless Controllers
Grabbed this on steep discount - very happy with it. Outperforms my old controllers and is red and looks great, direct from Microsoft.

  • Beautiful!!!
Color: Vapor Pink Edition: Wireless Controllers
The controller WOW'd me when I opened the box. The colors are absolutely beautiful and one of the prettiest Xbox controllers I have ever owned (and I've had a ton, even ones I've customized myself). Haven't tested it out yet, but I will definitely edit this post once I do! EDIT: Amazing controller!! However, in the last photo of the left joystick (and the right one has it too) it's starting to turn a dark color and I don't know why. Now, only my boyfriend and I use this Xbox Series X and we constantly wash our hands. Has anyone else had this issue with this controller? Otherwise it's flawless! I've tried cleaning it off and it doesn't budge. EDIT EDIT: After a closer inspection, I believe it is NOT the joysticks getting dirty, but them actually losing their color from use, AFTER ONLY ONE WEEK!!. If this is a case I may have to buy covers that are black for it. It's a shame. I really thought this controller was gonna last a while. ... show more

  • Perfect!
Color: Gold Shadow Edition: Wireless Controllers
Been needing a new one for so long and my husband love this one! The gold is smooth and amazing. No design mess ups. Rubber on the outside handle is nice(black and gold) and the rubber on the inside is even better on my controller. The purple tye dye is just breathtaking and I hate using it because it’s so pretty! Smooth joysticks, buttons are easy and don’t stick at all. So far my batteries don’t die so quick in these ones like they did my last controller. Same brand too. ... show more

  • This controller works well
Color: Blue Edition: Wireless Controllers
I am not a professional gamer, nor do I play my Xbox for hours on end. My previous Xbox 360 controllers still work. I have heard they can break but I have not experienced that so far. I love the feel of them and they feel better than the old 360 ones. They are accurate enough and the controls feel sturdy ... show more

  • Great, bright!
Color: Pink Edition: Wireless Controllers
So, I got my hands on the Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller, and let me tell you, it's a total game-changer! First off, the design is slick – matte black and seriously comfy grips that make long gaming sessions a breeze. Setting it up was a piece of cake, and the wireless connection is spot-on, with minimal lag. Plus, you can use it with all sorts of devices, thanks to the Bluetooth magic. The controls are top-notch – the improved D-pad and responsive thumbsticks give you serious gaming precision. And the Share button? Genius move! Snapping and sharing epic gaming moments just got a whole lot easier. Oh, and no more hunting for AA batteries! The rechargeable battery and USB-C charging mean you're always ready for action. To sum it up, the Xbox Core Controller is a must-have if you're serious about gaming. It's comfy, it's cool, and it seriously amps up your gaming experience. Microsoft nailed it with this one! ... show more

  • Great product, got for a steam deck
Color: Vapor Pink Edition: Wireless Controllers
So I got this for my steam deck and it initially wouldn’t connect properly. After doing a little google-ing, I found out that you have to get a USB-C cord, connect it to a laptop, download the Xbox Accessories app, and update the controller before it would properly connect via Bluetooth. So kind of a few steps before being able to properly use it, but it connected well after that. I do not like how it takes batteries instead of being rechargeable. It does come with a two pack batteries to start you off, but still weird. If it weren’t for the nice design, I’d return and get another 8Bitdo for the price. Overall it’s pretty good, but I feel like it should at the minimum be rechargeable instead of taking batteries especially for the price tag. ... show more

  • Great controller
Color: Velocity Green Edition: Wireless Controllers
This is a great controller. I bought the Velocity Green model because at the time, it was both on sale, and one of the more attractive colors available, although I only needed it to connect to my PC for gaming. It came with a set of batteries and full set of instructions and hardware information. Once it arrived, I plugged in the batteries it came with and had it up and gaming in a matter of minutes. Two things to know when buying one. 1) It's new, so buttons and sticks will be firm until it's broken in. That could make game play a little awkward at first, especially for FPS players. 2) It burns through batteries fast. Invest in a good rechargable battery pack (or packs) if you don't want to have to keep buying disposable batteries. ... show more

  • Give in to big business.
Color: Electric Volt Edition: Wireless Controllers
I would rather support a smaller company than Microsoft and I hate being wrong. That being said, I gave in after my third, off brand controller broke. It was night and day. Crisp D pad, responsive triggers, and textured bumper buttons make it easy to hold when you have tons going on. I've yet to drop it once. Only drawback is that the color already shows signs of discoloration. This is due to natural oils of the skin showing on the bright, neon color. A quick alcohol wipe about once a week should cover that. Otherwise, I have zero complaints. Trust me when I say, this is the best controller under $50. ... show more
