    The red on this is a solid true red Looks great and easy to spot on the sofa before you sit on it...lol. Controller feels good (texture grip and triggers) and works well. Definitely worth the BestBuy protection plan. It's cheap and just a bit of stick drift and you will be glad you got it.

    Beautiful controller that works perfectly. The white is so clean with the small accents and metallic d-pad. This is one of my new favorite Xbox controllers. Whether you are a fan of Starfield or not, this still looks gorgeous.

    Your basic Xbox controller. Will very likely get stick drift in the future. But it comes in handy when you just want to pull out a controller at any location. Doesn’t come with any cables whatsoever. Id recommend geting a rechargeable battery & even a cable that is COMPATIBLE with Xbox controllers.

    Beautiful iridescence, changes color from blue to purple. Negative is that it takes AA batteries, but you have the option to replace those with a rechargeable battery pack and charging cradle, so no switching batteries. Not as convenient as playstation's built-in battery, but have noticed slightly longer life in comparison. If you're new to xbox, coming from PS or Nintendo the face button configuration can take weeks of retraining muscle memory ("X" is in a different spot on all three).

    The Xbox Wireless Controller is a fantastic piece of tech. It feels incredibly comfortable, with textured grips and smooth thumbsticks, making it perfect for long gaming sessions. The responsive buttons and seamless Bluetooth connectivity make it easy to use on both Xbox consoles and PC. I picked mine up from BestBuy, and the in-store service was excellent—knowledgeable staff, quick checkout, and helpful advice. If you're looking for a reliable controller, this is a great choice!

    This specific controller is amazing, the colors are beautiful! With the black and gold combination, it has to be on of the coolest editions Microsoft has come out with. I love the blacked out buttons, and the golden d-pad. It also has rubber grips on the sides! This contoller is worth every bit of $70. Purchased the geek squad protection plan aswell. Very satisfied with BestBuy and this product!

    unclear how to recharge without replacing battery

    I gave it 4 out of 5 stars just because it eats batteries fast and from what I can see, I haven't figured out how to charge it using a wall outlet. I asked an associate in best buy who said that the newer ones seem to not be able to charge using a wall outlet. I bought an extra controller, so there is a backup, but I think customers should be aware that you will need to keep a lot of extra batteries if you game a lot or you will need to buy a separate cord to connect it to the xbox itself to keep playing, which may be a more cost effective option in the long run, but it defies the purpose of having a wireless controller. I haven't figured out why my android phone charger wouldn't charge this, since the controller would vibrate when I plugged it in. I removed the dead batteries, but it doesn't work at all on just a wall charge. It seems to need batteries even though it will light up the "x" button showing it seems to be charging. I also read on other reviews from other sites that if you try to charge it using a wall outlet, you will fry it. Just a lot to be aware of since these controllers are not cheap - I got it on sale, but they are still not something you want to have to throw away by making errors from inexperience.

    Xbox Wireless Controller for Xbox one

    This controller offers excellent grip, especially from the back, making it comfortable for long gaming sessions. The joysticks also provide solid traction for better control, and its lightweight design sets it apart from heavier alternatives without sacrificing quality. The buttons remain responsive and don’t stick even after extended use, and it's easy to clean overall. The charging port on top is sturdy and doesn’t bend easily, which adds to its durability. The D-pad is both responsive and visually appealing, and the overall button layout feels natural and user-friendly. For the price, this controller delivers great performance, comfort, and reliability—definitely a purchase worth every penny.

    This controller looks and feels amazing, I actually put my elite controller aside to use this one in its place as my main controller for gaming. I was really happy with the textured triggers and bumper buttons as well as this didn't seem to be the case with other controllers that we have. I absolutely love the aesthetic of this. It works great with PC. I absolutely love this controller and may even consider getting a second one for display

    the color looks really nice, it might just be because im a sucker for clear electronics but its really grown on me. The rubberized grips are also a nice touch, they feel good to touch and I feel like I have more of a grip with them. One thing that kind of disappointed me is that the triggers arent made of real metal they are just plastic painted to look like metal, while they look nice I feel like they will get scratched and damaged more easily. Overall I really like the color and the added touches and fell like its worth the extra money than the standard controller.

    I love this controller! At first it felt a bit smaller and that’s because it is, so now kids can use it easier than before. But other than that, the texture on the back is great for grip even though it isn’t rubber, and I’ve found that it keeps my hands from feeling sticky or sweaty during long gaming sessions! Also the share button is an amazing feature that I personally use all the time to take snapshots really quickly without pausing the game, and hold it to take clips. Lastly, the new d-pad is super nice and doesn’t hurt to rest your thumb there for games that use it. The USB-C upgrade is also very welcome, it was about time. Overall the controller feels great in the hands and more sturdy than previous Gen controllers. I only wish that they would improve the vibration mechanism inside.

    I’m posting my review of both the headset and controller. These are the real deal! I hate buying collectible hardware that feels and looks cheaper than the standard/original, these are better. The material quality is great in each area. It’s cool that the headset makes games chime sounds . I was an IT for over 15 years, my partner and I are both avid gamers, and we were both smiling instantly when we held them, the feel and quality/detail is recognizable. The Headphones: Sound great, are soft, feel durable, the mic output has been clear, the ear pieces are very soft. There’sa fast forward and rewind option, they’re comfortable. These are not featherweight headsets by any stretch of the imagination, but, they aren’t the heaviest I’ve had. Heaviness or lightness obviously differ based on person, I have a nerve condition and am like 115 on a good day so, maybe to others this is light. Partner seems mostly indifferent to the weight. Controller: I love the clear buttons detail and the grip, feels sturdy but time will tell. I love the metal areas and the markings/characters that make it clear that care was put into these. Both look amazing up close and deliver what was stated at announcement for their release.

    Sweet controller! Like the OG version and brand new! These just came out and got it for cheaper than a regular one! Needed a new hockey controller for the series X, grip feels great, little heavier than original controller but the grip on the Thumb-sticks and back of the handles are very much like elite controller but for sports the elites thumb-sticks are terrible. Thank you Best Buy was a steal for Black Friday!!

    Great quality. I dont have an xbox but I use it with my computer. The D-pad is sturdy, I had seen a review by linus where he said it was flimsy but it seems tactile and well constructed. The triggers have texture along the back so they feel better in your hand. The controller back itself has the same texture. The bumpers are more rounded and easier to press without feeling less clicky. The joystick rubber has some dot texture on it as well which helps you keep them pointing forward for a longer period. Overall this controller is a great investment and I like it a lot more then my xbox one controller. Some connectivity issues but I suspect they are on my computers end and the controller is not at fault.

    I was trying to choose between the xbox one controller and the PS5 controller, and decided to get the XBOX one simply for the compatibility with Windows PCs. As long as you use the xbox wireless adapter over bluetooth it works very well. Surprised we're not on rechargeable batteries yet, however purchasing rechargeable batteries for the controller is inexpensive so I don't mind.
