This PowerA wired controller for Xbox Series X|S in red is awesome! The buttons and analog sticks feel really responsive — perfect for fast-paced games. The wired connection means zero lag, and it works instantly without any setup hassle. The build quality feels solid and comfortable in my hands, and the bright red color looks great. I also love the extra programmable buttons — they make customizing controls super easy and really help in competitive play. If you want a dependable, responsive controller that’s great for both casual and serious gaming, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend! Read more
The PowerA wired controller is good overall and works well for everyday gaming. The buttons are responsive and feel great during gameplay. However, the build quality feels a bit light compared to the official Xbox controller. Still, it’s a solid option for the price. Read more
the cord is too long lol, but can easily be swapped out. i use this with my laptop and it works wonderfully with the Game Bar on Windows 11 when I'm playing Final Fantasy 11. difficult to get capture button to cooperate but i think thats a software issue, not the controller Read more
"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.

I’ve had this controller for a while now, I took good care of it, it works well. After a lot of use it has gotten slightly worn down which is expected for any controller. I will buy again. I recommend. No problems with the wire. Read more
Great Controller for those gamers out there who like a wired cheap controller. It works well for the most part other than some input delay Read more
So far so good i like the inline joysticks, the feelof it it dont feel cheaply made, long cable. The one thing i wish that was different the rest of there controllers have a tall lip where the usb-c cable end goes in to keep the usb-c port from wiggeling and becoming broken or damaged this version doesnt not have that saftey feature other then that have had it for a few days now and no conplaints besides the usb starting to become looser only after a few times of unplugging the cable.

This was a surprisingly disappointing experience. The shoulder trigger buttons are already sticking after barely a month of using this controller. I'm used to PowerA controllers being a quality reliable brand. All their controllers I have tried for the Nintendo Switch consoles have held up very well, even after multiple years of regular use. This controller just missed that mark. I don't even play shooter games or anything crazy intense with a ton of excessive shoulder button use. For it to start sticking (and thus wearing out) this quickly is very unfortunate. And no, for the record, I didn't have anything sticky on my hands either that would have required cleaning or caused this issue. I'm also very gentle on my controllers, so it's not a case of overdoing it. They usually last me many years. I still have old Xbox 360 controllers that I use all the time for PC gaming and they are working just fine. If the Series S was compatible with those, I would have just used them instead. (Sadly it is not.) Other than the sticking shoulder button issue, this controller was working fine on my Xbox Series S. It was comfortable and felt good for longer play sessions, the cable length was sufficient for my needs, and it felt ergonomic enough for my very particular situation which prevents me from using a lot of controllers (I have frequent wrist and hand pain with most controllers, so I have to find a particular ergonomic fit, and PowerA was good once again in this regard, where some of their competitors were not ergonomic enough.) I'm not sure if the QA standards on these are just not held as highly or tested as rigorously as their Nintendo controllers, or it's just an issue with this specific design model, but I'm usually very quick to recommend PowerA controllers to others. Sadly I cannot do that in this case. I'd say your money is better spent towards an official controller for the modern Xbox consoles. Chances are good you'll just be throwing it away on this one. It didn't even last me 2 months before acting up. Read more
