  • An Impeccable Controller Experience!
Style: Controller Color: Pulse Red
I purchased the Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller in Pulse Red, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! From the moment I unboxed it, the vibrant color and sleek design caught my eye. The ergonomic shape fits perfectly in my hands, making extended gaming sessions a delight. The connectivity options are fantastic, allowing me to seamlessly switch between my Xbox Series X and PC without any hassle. The responsiveness of the buttons and the precision of the analog sticks truly enhance my gameplay, giving me the edge I need in competitive matches. One of my favorite features is the Bluetooth capability, which makes it effortless to connect to my Android and iOS devices for gaming on the go. I’ve even found the built-in share button incredibly convenient for capturing and sharing my best gaming moments with friends. Overall, this controller has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s a stylish, versatile, and high-performing accessory that will elevate your gaming experience. Highly recommend it to gamers of all levels! ... show more

  • The Best Controller for Any Gamer
Style: Controller Color: Carbon Black
The Xbox Core Wireless Controller in Carbon Black is a fantastic addition to any gaming setup. It’s sleek, comfortable, and versatile, working seamlessly with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Android, and iOS. Pairing it is super easy, and switching between devices is smooth and hassle-free. The controller feels great in your hands—lightweight but sturdy, with textured grips that make even long gaming sessions comfortable. The buttons and sticks are responsive, and the hybrid D-pad is a big upgrade, especially for games that need precise inputs. The USB-C port is another nice touch, perfect for wired play or charging (if you grab the optional rechargeable battery). ... show more

  • Works great on PCs just like it's predecessors!
Style: Controller Color: Electric Volt
The “core” controller is the latest iteration of the xbox controller and from a quick glance it can be difficult to spot a difference from the xbox one controller but there are some subtle ones. The core controller now sports a textile grip texture at the rear of the controller and at the top of the LT and RT triggers. I have never had an issue with slippage on my previous xbox one controller but the texture is a welcome addition and it is very subtle which didn’t cause any discomfort in my hands. The Dpad now sports a similar look to the old 360 design but despite this it thankfully works like a regular Dpad and seems to be much more “clicky” now. It’s responsive and will work fine on platformers and similar style games though it would not be my first preference for fighting games. The only other addition I could spot is the share button which I understand is to capture games clips and screens. The analog sticks feel the same to me and the controller still requires double AA batteries although a battery pack can be purchased separately. Annoyingly, unlike my previous xbox controllers I was not able to get this working via Bluetooth on Ubuntu but connection through USB works with no issues so I just use it like that. I have tested it on a Windows 11 machine and the Bluetooth connection works as expected. Just make sure to select the section under Bluetooth devices that specifically mentions xbox controllers. The version I purchased was the electric volt that sports a two tone colour variant with a Kermit style green at the front and plain white at the back. Initially I thought that white would have quickly become dirty but after a few months of usage this was thankfully not the case. The grip texture strangely does not collect grime buildup which is much appreciated although I wonder what sorcery did they conjure to make this possible? Even if you are primarily a mouse and keyboard player it’s always handy to have a controller in the event you stumble across a game that demands it and I don’t think you can go wrong with this controller which can be had for <50 dollars on sale. I think it’s a perfect pickup if you need a new controller or replacement BUT If you already have a working xbox one controller I don’t think it’s worth spending money for this as an “upgrade” unless of course you really need that share button functionality. Personally, I think the PS5 controller wins the competition this round with newer tech like haptic and audio feedback for games that support it and that support does seem to be growing but that controller is substantially more expensive. You can’t go wrong with either but the core controller is in a much more affordable position particularly at sales prices. ... show more

  • Feels great, Works great, Stick drift always happens eventually though.
Style: Controller Color: Carbon Black
I really love the design of the xbox controller. Feels great in your hands, everything is responsive, holds up well, except for the joysticks. The joysticks fail always, sometimes pretty quick other times it takes half a year or longer. Really this is a problem with any joysticks because they are moving parts, the potentiometers lose their conductivity with friction and produce unreliable outputs. I wouldn't be bothered by this, but the joysticks aren't made in a reparable way and they also aren't Hall effect sticks. If you could swap the potentiometers easily that would be great, I have several of these controllers that I don't want to take the time to desolder and repair, rather just buy a new one. If Microsoft replaces these with Hall effect sticks though I'd be content, hopefully they will be on their next model as they become more popular. Overall great controller, just doesn't hold up as well as I would hope. ... show more

  • Get this not the elite
Style: Controller Color: Deep Pink
Other than the fact that Amazon sent me the wrong color I really wanted purple and got pink. This controller is pretty awesome. I love the buttons the way they feel and my hands. It’s got grips on the handles for easy grab sticks works good. Very sturdy over all good controller so pretty much just your average Microsoft controller, but pink. Also don’t like that the back is white, but that’s not Amazon problem. ... show more
