Still pretty new to getting this 4N6-00001 Xbox Controller with Windows Cable, so will follow up with a performance update if needed. Feels nice and sturdy. I do not have an Xbox One and the last time I played an up-to-date Xbox console was 2013, so my review is going to be focused on the PC side of things. I picked this controller over other budget controllers for PC because I wanted something that will last and can withstand up to action/intense gaming while still delivering quality results. Since Microsoft makes Xbox and they need durable console controllers, was a no brainier.
Pros:
- Cable can be used to plug-and-play on Windows 10 with no problem. Have not double-checked if any drivers need updated. If they do, runs nice out of box.
- If you just use the cable to connect to PC, you don't need the batteries. I kid you not, and still haven't installed any.
- Instructions say it is Bluetooth compatible (Xbox link on packaging says only for Windows 10 and certain Android devices) and also works on Xbox One.
- Sturdy controller construction and feel. Currently withstood about 10-15 hours of total action gaming time and seems durable.
- Has an audio jack (have not tested)
- Has not slipped while holding it at all during my few hour gaming session. After all, had to test it for extended game play, comfort, and durability.
- USB cable is 8 ft long. This is a huge, huge plus right there.
- I do not find the light from the Xbox logo distracting while gaming (I know this has been a frequent complaint with other light-logo or LED PC controllers).
Cons:
- The D-pad is only 4-directional. I know some prefer a round pad that allows for an 8-directional navigation, but I think this D-pad is standard on Xbox controllers
- Usually I have more cons for products, but I can't think of any right now.
Currently very satisfied with this purchase.
