Just Saying...

Great working Controller

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2024

I recently purchased the Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller in Velocity Green, and I am absolutely thrilled with it! The color is vibrant and adds a fun twist to my gaming setup. More importantly, the controller performs exceptionally well with my Xbox, providing a seamless gaming experience.

I wanted to express my gratitude for delivering a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations. It's refreshing to see a product that lives up to its description. Keep up the fantastic work!

Great quality and feel.

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2024

I have an Xbox One and my older controllers are showing their age. I change the thumbsticks regularly, and that prolongs their usefulness, but I decided to treat my gaming self to a brand new controller.
The controller is very solid, and OEM quality. The new textured grip is nice. The only issue I have is that the dimensions and shape are slightly different than the older controllers so the compartment cover doesn’t fit when using the Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries that I’ve been using. The batteries DO fit, and I’m thankful for that. They are snug enough that I don’t even use the cover. The redesign was done in the name of improved ergonomics so I can’t say I’m disappointed. Overall, I’m very pleased.

Great controller

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

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.

Accurate, Responsive, Comfortable, and

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024

This gamepad will give you a comfortable, responsive interface with your games. For years, I didn't care for the console controllers and then Red Dead Remption II came out on Xbox before PC, so I had to buy an Xbox One X to play this juicy game until the PC version came out. Now, I play all my games happily with an Xbox controller whether I'm on Xbox or PC. This particular controller has sleek lines and subtle coloring as well as a skin texture that's pleasing to the hands. And in case you wondered, the real reason I changed to Xbox controllers is the keyboard setups are exhausting. Now I sail through with my controller.

Beautiful and works seamlessly

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024

I bought this for PC gaming and it’s simply perfect. Works perfectly because it’s a Microsoft product linking to a Microsoft Windows PC. Saying that because I stupidly tried other brands before buying an actual Xbox controller.
Don’t be like me. Just buy an Xbox controller for seamless playability and connectability. Connects with Steam with no issues as well. Battery life is great.

It being pretty is a plus though. I have a thing for aesthetics :)

I like the styling, but none of these controllers last more than a year. It's really frustrating

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024

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.

Good controller

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024

The quality and color of this controller was amazing, you can also choose if you want the left and right stick pushed down or pulled up.

There was no stick drift and the controllers came new.
The easy screenshot push button is always a nice feature.

Everything worked as it should.

Quick and easy pairing to Windows PC

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024

The Microsoft controller came with batteries, so it was a quick and easy task to pair it with my Windows PC. Simply open your Bluetooth settings on your computer, turn on the controller and press the paring button on the front of the controller. Done. Performs lag free and just as it should when streaming games on my PC. Love it. I considered cheaper clones, but I do believe the authentic Microsoft controllers are the best way to go in the long run. They pair and perform flawlessly and are extremely durable. You shouldn't have to replace them once a year.
