Xbox Wireless Controller – Black

This review will cover my opinion based on my experience with the product itself and the seller.

THE PRODUCT-
I really loved the XBOX 360 controller and I was really confident that it was by far the best controller that was made. I loved the way it fit in my hands and I loved the placement of everything. I was a little skeptical when Microsoft changed the look. However, now that I have tried it, I can say that I have been very well pleased. Not much has actually changed as far as the feeling goes. It still feels super comfortable and the buttons are all in the same location. It fits well in the hands and is perfect for accessing everything you need and when you need it. Along with the sleek new look, I would say it was a very good change.

Just so you know, I am actually very critical about controllers. For me, the controller experience is way more than my ability to press buttons. I need to feel the controller, I need to see how the controller lasts over time, and how good it looks after a long time. For example, I did compare the XBOX One Controller to the PS4 Controller. I did enjoy the PS2 controllers however I found problems with the PS$ controllers. First off, it was not nearly as comfortable as the XBOX One Controller. Also, there was a lot of unnecessary space used for a rather pointless detail for the touch pad. No games actually use it to its potential so the touch pad was really just a waste of space. Also, the left and right triggers were very easy to break and stick. For such a vital part of the controller for most games, this was a heavy flaw for me.

This all made me really see the quality of the XBOX One Controller. It is, in my opinion, far superior to any other console controller out there.

THE SELLER-
My overall experience was a good experience. I was pretty anxious to receive my product, so I was disappointed when I had delays with the delivery. However, that was in no part the fault of the sellers. It was lack of attention on my part when my address was not correct. That caused some delays, but soon after fixing the problem, the product was delivered promptly.

This is the best controller ever made. For $50 youre getting what you pay for. The plastic housing of the controller is smooth and relatively fingerprint resistant. They added a slightly textured grip on the back of the controller for this model but honestly you wont even notice it, but its not like it was going to fall out of your hand anyway. The face buttons have a tactile press to them that I wish was more ‘clicky’ but they went against this design so that games with quick button presses would click more quickly/smoothly. The bumpers are clicky, and you can click them better at the very far edge toward the center of the controller comparred to the original Xbone controller. The triggers are also the best Ive ever used with enough resistance to be precise but are also loose enough to press them quickly. Maybe they could be a little more but theyre still great. They also have rumble in the triggers, which sounds like a gimmick, but when you play a game like Forza and can actually ‘feel’ the texture of the cement as you drive it becomes hard to play without it. The rumble in general is good, but as usual with consoles, games dont really take good advantage of it. The analog sticks are better than the original Xbone controller in that they feel the same but they can take more of a beating. The analogs only have a little bit of resistance, the PS4 dualshock has better analogs in this area. You need a good amount of pressure on analog sticks so you can make very deliberant movements you know? But the analogs make up for this at least by having the most amazing texture to them. The PS4 dualshock is notorious for the plastic peeling on the analogs after some rough use. But this wont happen on the Xbone controller because the analogs are all one piece of plastic. Its physically harder which should make it less grippy, but the serrated texture finish on them makes them not the least bit slippery. Now lets talk about the dpad. The dpad is the most neglected piece of any modern controller. While the xbox 360 controller is famous for being the most popular controller in the world, its dpad is one of the worst ever made. Even the ps3 controller had a better dpad, which is just sad. But microsoft pulled this one off, and I have to say it is the best clickly dpad I have ever felt. Is it perfect? No, it could still be clickier. But it has a great balance of pressure for all four directional presses, as well as smooth thumb transitions to the diaginal presses. In this model they also extended the soft plastic to cover the home button. I dont like this decision, the original xbone design was better in that the shiny plastic separated the home button from the gaming buttons. The real thing I hate about this change is just the visual difference. I dont think anyone would ever really notice, but Im obsessed with details and this just looks inferior aesthetically. But to their credit it makes the home button more satisfying to click, even if its the most mushy button on the controller. The start and select buttons, and I refuse to refer to them by any other name contrary to what microsoft wants, are fine. They are more mushy than clicky but you barely used them so its fine. The home button by the way shines really bright which is fine in the day, but gaming at night becomes a nusance once this really bright light obscures the bottom of your vision. Its annoying because the Xbone elite controller lets you dim the home button as dark as you want, but not the standard one even though on a technical level its possible but they lock you out with their software. I should also mention that this model has microsofts own proprietary contact as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. Basically all that needs to be said here is that they both work. Nothing is loose, the signals are good, and the latency is very very good. All of the controls on the controller have very low latency actually. I do wish the controller could pump out louder volumes for my expensive audiophile headphones, but any headphones for under $100 will be plenty loud. It does also allows headphones with mics to work over the same cord, so things like your EarPods and other headsets will work automatically. I guess the other thing to mention is the battery life. When youre using the rumble, the battery life is pretty lame. Maybe a few days of gaming. But with it off the controller should last a few weeks with most players. I wish it just had a rechargable battery in it for the sake of saving money on batteries, but Ill live. I dont know if theres anything else to mention. Im on a bus and I havent slept in three days. I dropped the controller a few times because Im dumb and it hasnt broken at all. Very nice. Hey im tired wooooooooooooooooo anyway best controller out there maybe besides the elite version which i cant afford because america. also it has no paint on it its all plastic so it doesnt chip or anything. the controller rattles when you shake bevause of the home button. also the triggers dont squeak nearly as bad as the 360 controller did so yay dogs and wgatmot

It’s decent has good control if it’s good in my hand have had no drift issues it works out pretty good with my steam and I can literally plug it in hook it up to my Bluetooth on my computer and I can go game twon

First off, I don’t have an Xbox. I bought this specifically to use with a computer. I previously had the gen1 Xbox One controller and I used it with the wireless adapter, but one of the bumpers gave out so I needed a replacement.
Honestly, there is exactly one thing about this controller I don’t like compared to the older one: The textured grip feels kind of strange. Not really a big problem, just something I noticed.
One of the first things I did when I had it unpacked was test out the Bluetooth connection. There was surprisingly little lag, so that was nice.
This controller has a standard 3.5 mm jack for a headset. This DOES work when it is wirelessly connected to a pc, but only if you are using the adapter. It shows up under your audio input/output as a usb device.
On the subject of that wireless audio: I fully expected the audio quality to be mediocre, at best. Nope! The quality for both headphones and microphone were actually really good.

To sum it up:
-Audio quality is great, but doesn’t work over Bluetooth. Only with the wireless USB adapter.
-Bluetooth connection has a very slight lag, but not enough that it makes an actual difference in gameplay.
-The textured grip feels… odd. Not bad, just odd.

Probably one of the most solid controller designs out there. Works great for PC
