  • Default XBOX controller.
Worked fine for xbox, worked okay with USB connection w Steam games on a PC, worked okay with USB and RetroPie. I might choose to use a Logitech if I were to pilot a robot or submarine.

  • Much Nicer than the Older Xbox One Controllers
I decided to finally replace my old Xbox One controller that I've had since 2017. I've replaced so many parts in that controller over the years, when the triggers started sticking (due to the foam bumper pad behind the triggers having worn out) I decided to just buy a new, updated controller. Out of the box, it just felt better to hold, and way more robust than my Xbox One controller. The triggers are solid, and have a small stippled grip texture to them that you can find on the handles. The thumbsticks have more grip to them, although the thumb sticks on my old controller are worn down (despite having been replaced once in the past) I definitely don't remember the texture being so pronounced. While we're on thumbsticks, the stick sensors themselves feel exactly the same... Probably because they are the same sensors, or maybe a newer revision of the same sensor. The D-pad is a big improvement, it's very clicky, unlike the mushy Xbox One D-pad. It also features a full circle D-pad (reminiscent of older Xbox controllers) instead of a plus (+) D-pad, making diagonal D-pad use more accessible and ergonomic. The bumpers feel a bit more clicky and definitely has less play and mush. The center buttons are about the same, with the inclusion of the Share button. The primary face buttons (A,B,X,Y) are exactly the same... Maybe not as noisy, although that applies to most of the controller, except the D-pad. The sync button is similar, just feels a little more solid. The I/O is the same, with the exception of the charging/data port, it is now USB-C. Such a massive upgrade over micro USB. Micro USB has always been finicky and unreliable. This was a big motivator for me getting a new controller instead of just "fixing" the triggers in my old one (which I may still do, it'll probably just be a backup controller) The rumble effects are noticeably improved, it feels a bit more stable and a lot less noisy. Overall, the Xbox Series X/S controllers are way nicer than the older Xbox One controllers and it makes me regret waiting so long to get one. I should add, the controller also came with batteries, but not a cable. (Though, outside of PC gamers, who buys a wireless controller to play plugged in?) ... show more

  • So far really happy
I play a lot of Xbox and sometimes use these controllers to play games on my tablet or phone. My old one was shot so I wanted both a replacement and slight upgrade. After a few weeks of heavy use I'm very pleased with this new controller. The color looks great and I like the white back. I especially like the textured grip that the two shoulder triggers have. The back of the handles have a similar kind of grip, slightly less textured than triggers. It's also cool that the Xbox on/off button shows a shiny black color when off, and white when illumined. It's just a small but nice feature. The buttons feel slightly clicky, while the analog sticks feel soft and smooth, like God intended. Pairing has no issues and range is no issue. Battery life (obviously dependant on what kind of batteries you use) is slightly better than my old controller (using the same 2600mAh rechargeable pack). Perhaps Bluetooth signal has been more optimized, or it could be coincidence, it's improved but just slightly. The important thing is it hasn't diminished. The first few times I went to swap out the battery pack the "door" or cover for the batteries was very stiff and difficult to open. I had to put a lot of force into it before it would pop open. It took longer than I'd like to admit that I was being stupid and pushing up, to slide the door off, and not pressing in at the bottom first, to release the small teeth that hold the door in place. My old one just slid up, so if anyone else is dumb like me, make sure to push first. Overall the controller feels good in the hand and has a "feeling" of quality materials and build. It's kind of hard to describe exactly what I mean, but anyone who's held a cheap aftermarket controller, and then a new Xbox brand one, can understand what I'm talking about. It feels good to use. Zero stick drift or button sticking, no lost pairing issues. There is no reason a new controller from Microsoft should come with those issues, out of the box, but I thought I should mention it. After about 3-4 weeks of daily use, up to 8 hours at a clip, I'm really happy with this controller. Looks good, feels good and works well. If durability and longevity become an issue as time goes on I'll update this. I paid about about $25 less for this controller than it would have cost me at some other places, so at least at time of writing, this is a great deal. ... show more
