PowerA Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Blue, Gamepad,Video Game/Gaming Controller, Works with Xbox One, Officially Licensed

After being sent to Stick Drift Hell with multiple controllers, after experiencing connection issues with multiple 3rd party controllers I have found an amazing controller that does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do. That is: allow me to play my Xbox Series X without any of the above problems haunting me. I was hesitant at first to get a wired controller. But as I thought about it I realized I didn't have a rational reason NOT to get one. I live alone so no one will be tripping over the wire as I play. The cord is plenty long enough. It doesn't hurt reaction time and depending on what you read may actually HELP it. I don't run around the room while playing or throw my controller. Yes, Bluetooth wireless connections are great. Yes, it looks cool. But at the end of the day the ONLY difference is there's a wire. Who cares? Goodness knows I have plenty of other wires in my life. What's one more? Regarding the hardware itself: it's sturdy and feels good in my hands while playing. It has just the right weight to not make it feel like a brick while at the same time feeling substantive. All the buttons are right where you expect them and can be mapped differently if you so choose. I just finished a 2hr COD: BO6 session and it performed wonderfully. No lag. No awkward handling. Nothing. Bottom Line: great product that performs as advertised. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Works great and cheap price!

"Horrible, DO NOT BUY!", is what I originally wrote till my brother showed me that I had the usb plugged into the hub and not directly connected to the computer, my mistake. Unless I'm doing something absolutely wrong, (in which case I totally am) and do not know how this Xbox Series X|S - Blue, gamepad, video game/gaming controller is supposed to function, (and now I do), I can not get it to turn on or sync which is hard to do without the very button to do just that with. And yes the sync button on the controller would be a fantastic addition to this controller, just saying. I did get this to work and it is a fantastic Xbox product that I have bought. Me be dumb.

Great controller and affordable, too! I’ve had no issues whatsoever. If you’re looking for an inexpensive Xbox controller, I highly recommend this one.

Works well will buy again

July 26 2024: bought new and it was great everything works. None of the button pads were seized up and dropped a couple of times waist high still fine. April 11, 2025: Everything works fine. Left trigger is starting to have issue where it would be to sensitive, it intermittent an can be fixed in steam by since the windows diagnostic tool is a brown hole. The dpad is crap now the down button on it gets sticky an will require you to press out the other buttons to fix it. I will probably ha e to open it to see what's it problem. Shouldn't have to so soon. Overall this is my second purchase of this brand an honestly could of bought a more expensive 80 dollar controller an would have lasted longer than this brand. These a great backups if your broke an need something cheap but if you can get a nice one. I will an skip out on these for now on.

The controller that came with my Xbox One died out after only a little over a year. This was a great and affordable replacement. The fact that it came in one of my favorite colors is also a major plus. I originally thought switching to a wired controller may feel like a downgrade but I was wrong. The cord is such a generous length that I forget it's even there. It reaches from my console to my bed with plenty of room to spare. I'm also saving a fortune by not having to constantly replace the batteries like I did with my wireless control.

Controller feels nice on the hands. It's a bit noisy when using actively, but it's not really a bother to me personally. Great controller to get when you're on a budget.
