Picked one of these up for 20 dollars as an open box and it was just as new. Works pretty good after about a month and the cord it comes with is long. As a final small bonus it has two buttons on the underside bound to the A and X inputs and you can set how deep the triggers can be pushed in with two 3 position switches.

This is by far my go to faming controller. Not only is it a scuff controller but even better, the led lights make it so much more stylish. It is a must buy!

Although this controller was cheaper than the common ones for Xbox, the way it feels and plays it’s amazing. Being a cabled controller is something we gamers try to avoid getting at times, but due to the built in LED lights, it’s worth it. The way the lights look, and how you can customize the lights all around the controller is a major plus… truly recommend it!

Its good for its price. Dont get me wrong im not a controller connoisseur but I do enjoy a good quality controller. However, I am not someone who actively seeks out the best controller for the best price. Needing a controller for my laptop I decided to head to Best Buy and just grab the cheapest xbox controller I could which is what I did and I can say, I am thoroughly pleased by what I purchased. The controller feels good to use and even has back buttons and adjustments for the teiggers which was a new feeling for me. I was supprised that a $37 controller has so much to use and enjoy and I would recommend it for anyone who is just looking for a controller to pick up.
Tldr: Its a good controller for the price you are paying and even suprised me with all the actions you can do for its price.

I’ve been loving my PowerA Advantage Wired Controller with Lumectra—the controller feels solid and comfortable in my hands, almost like an official Xbox pad, and the button presses are snappy and responsive in every FPS I play. The customizable RGB lighting is a cool feature that not only lights up the controller but also works with the included LED strip to add a fun vibe to my gaming setup. With handy back buttons, trigger locks, a long cable, and a nice weight (without needing batteries), it’s a great value for the price. Some users mention stick drift over time, but mine’s been holding up perfectly, and I’m really enjoying every session.

He loves this one, the design is cool and despite it being wired, it has a long cord. Nice controller and feels nice in the hands.

Absolutely! So, the Xbox wired controller is a solid choice for any gamer. It's got a comfortable grip that makes it easy to hold for hours, which is super important during those long gaming marathons. The button layout is super intuitive, so you can play without having to look down to find the right button.
The best part? The wired connection means you won't have to worry about batteries dying in the middle of a game. Plus, it's got a super responsive feel, with triggers and bumpers that give you the precise control you need to nail those critical game moments.
The durability is also top-notch. This controller can take a beating and keep on going, which is perfect for when the gaming gets a little intense. And let's not forget the price point – it's usually more affordable than wireless options, giving you great value for your money.
All in all, if you're looking for a reliable, responsive controller that won't let you down when it matters most, the Xbox wired controller is definitely the way to go. Happy gaming!

Has a Very long cord. But it does detached and can be used as a charger for other controllers. The controller itself is pretty good. Has to easy mappable paddles on the back for all my slide canceling gremlins (cod reference).

Bought this controller mainly for the paddles, but the lights make it even cooler. It has a lot of customization. Easy to set up the paddles.

Fantastic build, great feel, reminds me of the old school controllers. Wired connection although this isnt a downside really. Controller skin is divine

I’m all about a bargain. But for 20 dollars cheaper than an original Xbox controller without additional buttons is a steal. Wired controller but that’s how I prefer to play due to input lag with wireless controller. These controllers last a good while if you stay cautious of the power port. Mine usually last me a good year or so before stick drift is an issue or the power port starts to short. But aside from that it’s a solid controller. Nice rgb lighting that can be customized via the app. And programmable additional buttons.

Stick drift out of the box so had to return. But over all great design.

Overall quality is good, ease of use is great, the use of headphones not so much. The quality drops when compared to original controllers. Barely hear anything on max volume.
