5.0 out of 5 stars REVIEW WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT INFO OF THIS XBOX CONTROLLER!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
The media could not be loaded.
Good packaging, it wrinkled a little because I used Amazon prime with free shipping.

Easy to connect to Windows 11 PC, it literally only took me less than 5 minutes + a Youtube tutorial to use it with Bluetooth.

It comes with AA batteries, they are not rechargeable, but they are of very good quality. I was playing Naruto Storm 4 on PC for 3 hours and it didn't go below 100%. They are from my Duracell brand.
(I write this a week after buying the controller: the AA batteries have not discharged yet, they continue to work at 100%, without failures, with more than 6 hours of play during the last week, that is, they are very good)

It comes with a code to configure the controller on the PC.

It comes with a manual on how to connect it to the PC safely in case you can't find a tutorial, even so, the Bluetooth mode is the best.

The grip, the quality of the buttons, plastics and so on is of good quality. The paint is also of good quality.

It is not metal, it is plastic with a metal design similar to gold.

It responds well to PC games, and the PC detects it very easily, since the PC with wind 11 and 10. They already come with those configurations. I don't know previous versions.

Yes, if you buy it from this link or sections, you will receive the original and not the Renewed version from Amazon. The renewed one from Amazon comes with some system failures, there is nothing at the moment. Additionally, in the description of this page it tells you that the manufacturer is Microsoft. Otherwise, with the other page that tells you that the manufacturer is Amazon.

The lowest price I found it at was $54, on Amazon prime day it is $56. On black Friday I don't know.

If you want to use it at night, the buttons tend to make a lot of noise, especially A,X,B,Y. They sound a lot.

On the other hand, it can be connected to PS2, PS3, Wii etc. emulators. Just look for the option that says Xinput or something similar in the current emulator. In my case, I'm playing God of War One on PS3 and it works great with the controller. The same on the PS2, I already did some tests on that one too.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2024
The color is a beautiful blend of purple, works fantastic, zero tech issues/damages once received. I've been using this for about a month now and I honestly think this is the best controller I have ever used.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Issues, Works Great
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2024
Had to replace my Red Xbox controller because its drifting now (I know I can replace the little joystick, and thats coming soon). I got this because the price was right, cheaper than picking up at the store. Works great, it's not a knock off, it came in genuine MS Xbox packaging, and connected to my Xbox Series 1 with no issues, and I have been using it for about a month now.

The wireless and Bluetooth connectivity is flawless—I can easily switch between my Xbox, PC, and mobile devices without any hassle. It pairs quickly and stays connected with zero lag.

This controller is a must-have for any gamer who wants a reliable, comfortable, and stylish addition to their gaming setup.
