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.

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.

Hadn't bought a controller in awhile and when I got this one it felt like xbox was finally starting to make better quality controllers. It had more weight, grip on the back, and the buttons and sticks felt higher quality. Great color too

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.

I got this controller because I was tired of having to use my PS4 controller and having weirdness with it cuz it isn't officially supported for use with PC.

The controller works great, feels good in your hands and works well, and I love the line green mountain dew color on top.

It is battery powered, so keep that in mind.

Only complaint I have is this can be hard to pair with my laptop each time I go to use it. Once it starts working, it's great.

The laptop can see the device, but the device doesn't work in game unless I completely re-repair the two.

I bought this controller to play games on pc.I have used many controllers before such as redgear wired controller,powera enhanced controller and also PS5 controller..And this is my first xbox controller.The colour of this controller is lit🔥.After holding this product you can definitely tell that this controller is really premium(specially the textured grip of this controller and even also the both textured triggers)..The compactness and confortness of this controller is top notch..I love the fact that Microsoft is still using the battery system rather than making it only rechargable controller like PS5 controller..You can use Disposable batteries(but I personally don't recommend it),you can use Microsoft xbox play and charge kit or you can use rechargeable batteries such as Panasonic Eneloop pro(I personally recommend it to everyone) or you can charge it with the charging station also,And this is one of the main reason I bought xbox core wireless controller..If you will buy this controller then you will definitely gonna love it for sure..I personally suggest to buy this controller with Panasonic Eneloop pro rechargeable batteries and Panasonic Bq-cc55N charger then it will be a nice combo for sure.And don't forget to check the seller's reviews and rating(My seller was Zupitex).Thank you😊
