  • Great Controller!
Really great controller. I am a Xbox fan after purchasing this - but mainly for the controller. I have yet to test this on an actual console. My favorite feature if not the most important is that you can attach any type-c chord & connect it with your pc and that's it! I have no issue connecting to any games and I even use it when I'm playing on a streaming service like Nvidia GeForce Now! Mine's a bit dated now (over a year), however; little to no stick drifts so far and everything functions the same. You have a 3.5mm ear jack feature on it but I don't use it. ... show more

  • An (almost) perfect reimagining
Although there's been a lot of buzz (and rightfully so) around the new Dualsense PS5 controller, Microsoft decided to take a very different approach from Sony; meaningful, iterative improvements to an already solid base. The first version I ever used, model 1697, was the best controller I had ever used up to that point. It was the primary reason I switched from my XB360, as I was unable to pair it with the console, but the controller was too good to go back. Clicky, responsive buttons, lighter weight, easily accessible battery door, good battery life, solid accuracy and excellent haptic feedback in the triggers made me fall in love. Jump to the next model, the 1708, and all those things remained, but there was a different finish and now the awesome addition of Bluetooth. This has been the controller I've used on console and PC for the better part of 5 straight years. I've even tried to pair it with a couple Sony systems to experience some of the better games exclusive to that platform (I was unsuccessful BTW). Now, introduce this model, the 1914, and I feel like it's 2 steps forward and a step backwards. The D-Pad is outrageously good and responsive, the trigger texturing gives a more involved feel, the matte finish makes it less vulnerable to oils or greases making it slippery and the battery door redesign is a very slight but meaningful touch. Even the added feature of showing the battery level on PC is a tiny detail that shows the thoughtfulness that went into crafting this. The only reason this is not a 5 is the connectivity. Full disclosure, this is primarily used with a PC in this use case, and as such, you WILL need the XBox accessories app, as I needed to apply an update fresh out the box. The Bluetooth connection on my 1708 literally never dropped out in my entire memory of use. Extremely strong, very dependable and no lag to speak of. The 1914, not so much. There's been no observable lag, and when it works, it's easily better, but the connection is very spotty. As mentioned, an update was necessary right out of the box, and performance marginally improved, but as it stands, during a 3 hr play session last night it lost connection at least 10 times, with the Xbox light blinking a few times and going solid again roughly every 20 mins or so. I tried multiple games, including very tight shooters and it's the same thing; excellent performance when it's working, a temporary drop for no more than 5 seconds, then back to working as if nothing happened. I've already gone the driver route of making sure everything is updated correctly, but this seems to be more a 1914 problem, as the 1708 has never had this problem with a console or 3 different PCs with 3 different Bluetooth adapters. Funny though, a wireless adapter is available, and is touted as the primary way to connect without a USB cable (the USB cable does work flawlessly BTW). Of course, there is a fee for this adapter, which makes me feel like this is the classic create a problem, sell the solution sort of scenario, which has soured my experience greatly here. This is a relatively new device, having only been on the market for a little over a month at the time of this writing, so it's definitely possible for this issue to be resolved, but there's currently no discount for this unit, so you're being asked the complete price for an incomplete experience for the time being. Once (if) this issue is resolved, I will absolutely change this to a 5, but right now, with the drops, it's a mediocre purchase at best, with the 1708 currently being a better option, and at a lesser price. Best of luck. Edit: In order to have the update applied, you must FIRST connect to the PC with your USB-C and use the Xbox accessories app to update, then, most importantly, you must UNPAIR the controller if it was previously paired. If it's the first time pairing, it won't be an issue, but if you previously were paired before the update, it will not apply. After following these steps, I can confidently report all connection issues have been fixed, and there have been no Bluetooth drops to speak of. This is now a 5 star device. ... show more

  • Great controller for PC
The controller works great with PC. However, out of the box the Bluetooth feature does not play well with Steam. In order to get it to work, there are a few steps you’ll have to do. 1. Download the Xbox Accessory App on the Microsoft store. 2. Connect the controller with a USB-C cable 3. Update the controller 4. Pair with windows Bluetooth devices 5. Start steam and it should recognize it as Xbox Series X/One controller. 5(a). If you paired it before doing these steps (like me). Follow steps 1-3, then go to “Bluetooth devices” remove the device and repair it. Then it should work with no issue. Build: The controller itself is very sturdy and has nice textured grips on the back as well as the triggers. Size is pretty similar to previous Xbox controllers. Battery: I can’t really comment on battery life since I just got it but I would imagine many of you will have some form of rechargeable battery. Wireless: I haven’t had any issues since pairing it nor experience any types of interference with my other wireless peripherals. The range seems good, I’m roughly 15ft away from my TV/desktop. Overall, it’s a much better controller then my ps4 controller. It plays well with Windows 10 as one would hope and once setup with Steam the buttons are automatically mapped. ... show more

  • The only way to play on PC!
Using a PC? You're going to need a USB-C cable and to follow these instructions before attempting to use the controller, especially with Steam. 1- Download the Xbox Accessory App on the Microsoft store. 2- Plug your controller into your PC using a USB-C cable (not included). 3- Using the App, update the controller's firmware (takes a couple minutes). 4- Once completed, now you can pair to your computer's bluetooth and everything should be perfect. My controller arrived with the box's sticker seal cut. But going through the contents, I didn't see any signs of use, everything was in place and the batteries were still shrink wrapped. Figured it'd either be ok or DOA. Turns out everything is OK. After getting it updated and paired, I launched into Steam and booted up Ys VIII. Controller was recognized as an Xbox Series X controller and all buttons mapped correctly. Works like a dream! I've never used an Xbox controller and I will say I'm quite pleased with it. I can use regular Eneloop AA batteries in it which is fantastic, and they seem to last a great while. The controller has a good amount of weight to it which makes it feel substantial and is beyond comfortable. Buttons and triggers are great, analog sticks are incredible. Basically, I've used various cheap Logitech controllers over the years like the ever-popular F310. Never again. This is like going from an HDD to an SSD. There is no going back. I don't have a ton of time for gaming these days, but even in short bursts this controller is a joy to use due to its comfort. I can't imagine controllers feeling much better than this. If you're considering this or something like the F310, I would save up for this one. It's absolutely worth it. ... show more
