Pros & Cons
Pros
The xbox core wireless gaming controller in the striking pulse red color is an absolute game-changer! The textured grips ensure a comfortable and secure hold during those intense gaming sessions, while the redesigned hybrid d-pad provides precise cont... Read More
Cons
The battery pack only lasts for about 15-17 minutes before it dies. This is after charging it for about twelve hours. The drift gets more and more common with every new generation of xbox controllers.
B button works but is extremely squishy and unpleasant to use. Ended up returning this controller in favour of a dualsense. Not even worth going through the hassle of sending into microsoft to repair.
Overall a little disappointed since it was advertised new and definitely feels used. Talked with amazon and was offered 19. No amazon box. Might call amazon for a solution. Quite disappointed from this controller.

The rubber around the handle feels great, the buttons, and especially being able to lessen travel time with the triggers.

Price
Absolutely love it was exactly what i was looking for at the price i wanted and it got delivered super quick
This controller is just perfect and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a new xbox controller, definitely worth the price!
First one was bought at costco when on sale.
Shipping
But contacted amazon and did free return and sent me a replacement.
Packaging/appearance
Beautiful looking controller, no damage to packaging or the actual controller and everything works properly!
The packaging didn't include a wire but i have plenty of compatible wires lying around.
Competitiveness
I've tried a few other controllers trying to save a few bucks but it's not worth it.
From what i have read, the drift gets more and more common with every new generation of xbox controllers.
I decided to try an actual microsoft controller on windows to see if it would work better and i'm glad i did.
I was using a couple other brands of controller on my pc playing games on steam and the other controllers had odd glitches and ... Read More
