Pretty good controller. My son drops it about 3-4 times a day for about 2 years now and it still works and not broken.

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?)

I needed a new controller because my old one had stick drift and that was a problem enough to spend $60 dollars on a new controller, and so far its been really good but I think my old series of xbox one branded controller was better in a few ways. The old controllers textured grips and finishes were better in multiple ways, the textured triggers makes my fingers slip off more than the old glossy style of triggers, and the back grips are easy to scratch and tear and honestly dont provide as much grip as the older controllers. The addition of type c charging is a god send as type A was very difficult for me because ive upgraded all of my electronics to type c models. For someone who doesnt want to swap batteries or buy rechargable ones that often times dont last long, type c charging/power has been a normal everyday option for me. As for one of the flagship features for these new controllers, the share/capture button, there is never much inscentive to use it over just going into the xbox home menu and clicking y or x. To capture video you have to set it to a specific time to capture (15s/30s/45s/1 minute etc) instead of being able to select it there in menus, and you have to hold in the button for a couple seconds for it to register video over screenshot. I often times end up accidentally clicking the capture button and taking random screenshots instead of pausing the game or opening the map of the game im playing, and that happens a lot to the point where there is just random screenshots in my storage that are just there unexplained until I remember it was a fat finger click screenshot. One more thing is that the xbox home button is very stiff and hard to click in for mine, this might not be the same for you, but in my case the button is hard to push in and you really have to mean to click it and that gets very frustrating when im trying to get somewhere causing me to have to click it multiple times. I dont know if that has to do with the fact that im used to the looser tolerance of the old xbox controller models but it is something to note. Other than that the buttons feel good, the sticks feel great and have a large range of motion, and everything about the controller works as well as older controllers. If you need type c charging and you need a new controller I would give it a try, but if you dont care about that and wont use the capture feature then I would strongly recommend you maybe get an alternative because this model has a lot of downsides atleast for me.

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.

12/20/24: Update based on Black xBox Core Wireless Controller. Love it!! The red one is ugly and awful. You can't see the button markings because they're all red on black, who does this??? But the Black one is perfect. The button markings are different colors making them easy to distinguish if you're coming from a Nintendo Pro Controller. Would prefer all white button markings but this works well for me because at least I can see them while gaming. 11/28/24: Early review that will be updated as my use reveals new things. Bought this controller because it was available and I could get it right away. I normally play with my Black Nintendo Pro Controller and it works everywhere I need it to on my Steam games. Got a fix / patch recently that kept me from using my boat and this controller, after I updated it, learned how to use it with the button configuration differences saved me. I'm playing again and happy. It performs well for now and I am cautiously optimistic based on the reviews, but I immediately ordered two in Black so I can move this one to emergency use only. Meanwhile I have a controller that works with my boat and Happy Thanksgiving to me. Playing my heart out since last night after setting it up. Buy direct from Amazon, sold and shipped, and you'll probably get a good one. I'll report back later. That said, what brainiac at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to make a two tone controller with white, on the back yet. hello, dirty all the time, and yes, you don't see it, but it hurts my eyes which is why I play with black controllers. Very light sensitive here. Microsoft must not understand that there are other folks like me out there. Fine the design team needs to get out more.

I purchased the Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller in Pulse Red, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment I unboxed it, the vibrant color and sleek design caught my eye. The ergonomic shape fits perfectly in my hands, making extended gaming sessions a delight. The connectivity options are fantastic, allowing me to seamlessly switch between my Xbox Series X and PC without any hassle. The responsiveness of the buttons and the precision of the analog sticks truly enhance my gameplay, giving me the edge I need in competitive matches. One of my favorite features is the Bluetooth capability, which makes it effortless to connect to my Android and iOS devices for gaming on the go. I’ve even found the built-in share button incredibly convenient for capturing and sharing my best gaming moments with friends. Overall, this controller has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a stylish, versatile, and high-performing accessory that will elevate your gaming experience. Highly recommend it to gamers of all levels!
