PowerA Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Black, gamepad, wired video game controller, gaming controller, works with Xbox One and Windows 10/11

Works exactly as needed as a controller. If you’re considering it for PC use, it does work for that and it works very very well. Good connectivity, good compatibility, and overall just a solidly made controller. Would recommend for gaming overall

TROUBLESHOOTING TIP FOR WINDOWS 10:I bought and returned 2 of these controllers because I though they were defective. When a 3rd one had the same problem, I got angry and started just mashing buttons. It turns out, Windows and any games on your computer will not recognize the controller (and the light never turns on) unless you press the giant X button at the top-middle of the controller.So if this seems like a brick when you plug it into your computer, press the X button (the one with the XBOX logo, not the one above the A button.Hope this helps someone else.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I can at least say for casual use this controller is great. I didn't want to pay the price of a wireless controller and got tired of buying or recharging batteries. Managing the cord isn't as bad as I thought it might be, and it's long enough to reach my television from the bed. The controls are accurate and maybe not hyper-responsive but perfectly acceptable for my needs. Overall, it appears to be well built and should last a while. The price was right.

I really like the feel, shape, and cord length of this controller. It allows me to still be connected to my PC while walking on the treadmill. No issues.Only problem is that both the ones I've purchased have exhibited faulty stick work after just over a year, both with the right stick. I've never dropped them, but they do experience high use so 🤷🏼‍♀️ unsure what the deal is. One drifts gently and is whatever, but the other hard jerks to the right at random intervals. Cleaning didn't fix it.So it's good for the $20ish I spent and I will buy another, just sucks it didn't last longer.

Probably the best wireless controller in budget friendly range. Doesn’t last longer as the wired one but sustainability was never a question. Always admired black color and liked the service of it. The control was smooth. With time, L1 R1 buttons lose its function and that’s the only side need to be improved!

Nice! Works great

Broke my controller needed a cheap temporary replacement. Works great especially for its price

TEMPORARY CONTROLLER -If you are desperate and need a controller for a month or less, this product is for you.PERMANENT CONTROLLER -If you are a gamer, or will use this controller more than a months time DO NOT BUY this.Save your money and get the official Xbox Controller. This thing has had problems literally every day after the first month. Here are the reasons not to get this at any point in time with longevity in mind.///Disclaimer: I am a neat freak, I eat BBQ chicken and Ribs with a fork to keep my hands clean. Not a fan of the texture sticky. I have tissue and Clorox wipes in arms reach of my bed (because I use an iPad often and I don't like seeing my minor finger print smudges). I like things clean. I own both a glasses and controller cleaning kit. I throw away old cleaning rags from the kit and purchase new ones every quarter of the year. I clean my trainers. I fold my laundry towels after I use them and prep them for laundry day. I am a neat freak)///Initial Purchase (March 5th)- I bought this controller in March 5th, got it around maybe the 8th. Not bad delivery time and the controller was quite cool looking. On PC it would be best, since it had additional buttons beneath the hand grips which could make gameplay more custom to your flow of play.Squeaking Analogue Sticks (April 17th)- Strange sounds began when using the analogues for games like Marvel Rivals and The First Descendant. Initially not a big deal, I thought it was dirty so I cleaned it vigorously...I did not succeed, and did not have the specific mini Phillips head to take it apart to clean. I made peace with the squeak and proceeded to play my games...still attempting to clean the controller using minimal rubbing alcohol and them compressed air. No luck.Analogue Controller Drift (May 5th)- Following the squeaks which never subsided, in came controller drift. How I don't know, I've been cleaning this thing crazy trying to rid it of this squeak. I still am (its August 13th and I still am working on this annoying squeak).D-Pad Controller Drift (June 15th)- I rarely ever need to press this button configuration. It's mostly used as a slight Menu UI interactive button. I know I didn't press it too hard, I never need to, I can do so much more quickly with analogues. Oddly enough it did subside, which was good. Because I was considering throwing the controller away by that point still plagued by this fxcking demonic squeaking R-Analogue stick.Sticky Triggers (June23th)- I had a slight trigger stick situation. Only burdened me while flanking with Magic or trying to hide in silence with Loki whilst playing Marvel Rivals. No biggy, it's just Ranked Play. I can lose because I shot at random moments a grand x6. It was seldom.One Trigger Can Now Activate the Opposite Trigger (August 13th)- Today my controller, still squeaking like Lizzo's floor boards and drifting my my characters off into their doom like a siren drawn sailor, has completely spazed and failed making sense. While playing Warframe, the BEST free to play looter shooter game out there, I aimed down sights using my Left Trigger...and my Right Trigger activated with no hesitation. For no reason one button can now aim my weapons down sight and immediately fire uncontrollably. And it hasn't stopped doing so any time I use my Left Trigger. I've unplugged the controller. I've restarted my X/S, I am still having this weird problem.Moving On (August 13th)- Today I will officially be breaking this controller with a hammer, to anti-gently inspect the innards of this horrible iPhone of controllers (because it will have progressing issues not akin to how you utilize the product). Then I will drive to my nearest Best Buy and purchase a Microsoft Designed X/S controller for an irritating price but pristine engineering, closing this chapter of Off Brand spending.This is my review. Shoddy craftsmanship. Horrible for gamers, good for one night stands. Literally, just one night, then throw away. So don't buy imo.
