    First thing’s first, it’s a fully functioning brand new, sealed in the box official Microsoft Xbox controller so please ignore any negative (and misinformed) reviews stating anything different.

    It came with two AA Duracell batteries and it’s a big step above the 1708 controller with a more ergonomic design in every way from the convex in the thumb sticks to the shallower triggers to the shape and size of the controller itself.

    It fits the hand better than previous models and the textured grip on the back of the handles makes it really satisfying to hold too.

    For anyone that it may concern, this controller also eliminates some problems previous models had such as the way that the bumpers would eventually stop communicating with the switches behind them despite the switches themselves being fine which led a lot of people to replace the bumper assembly or bodge it with tape.

    It’s also completely customisable. You can replace everything on the controller with something custom to the point where you could argue it’s not even the same controller that you bought anymore. Every button, both thumb sticks, the triggers and the faceplate can all be replaced with custom aftermarket variants that are available online.

    Overall this is a sturdy, durable controller made from quality materials at a fair price and it’s a pleasure to use.

    1st controller received was an obvious customer return that had signs of use and dirt on it.

    2nd (Replacement) was brand new.

    Excellent controller, much nice to use than previous Xbox Controller.

    Using with gaming PC. Stable wireless connection. Buttons all clicky and nice to use. This controller is much quieter in use than previous generation.

    Would recommend to PC gamers

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersYou just can’t fault a real Xbox controller. So far it is better than I had anticipated and I’ve wanted one for a long time. It’s well worth saving for it. The box came a bit loose and crumpled but the controller is perfectly fine. You’re likely to have better luck.

    I have tried another low-cost off-brand one and it was no good i.e. stick deadzone is crazy, you have no precision, and the vibration is bad (just some of the various reasons). It seems from reviews they are all that way.

    The colour blue is very nice. I love it! For anyone wondering, the back is white, this includes the battery cover.

    Having had over a decade of controllers the series x version controller is a great update to the old style controller. The feel is better, the d-pad has been redesigned to make it more responsive. Honestly, I don’t think I will buy an elite controller again, this gets the job done with confort and style. Colours are a great addition!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI know it’s a matter of preference, so your mileage will vary, as its form is not to everyone’s taste. However, I changed to Xbox with the first gen and simply to play Halo, having grown up on Playstation and Nintendo.

    I stayed with them until PS4 slim, although I still had an Xbox, most friends played PS4 so ended up ditching the Xbox entirely & I hated the switch back as the PS controllers are simply awful with poor ergonomics, poor materials choice and atrocious longevity.

    Getting back into PC gaming caused me to buy a newer form of the Xbox controller in a cool lime colour, and it felt immediately better and familiar. Whilst not compelling enough to cause me to ditch the PS5, it might be enough to make me think about getting back into Xbox…. Honestly, Microsoft has nailed the controller and Sony could learn a thing or two.

    Great controller, feels lovely to hold, the rubber grips on the side stop it sliding about during button bashing moments making it easier to keep up in competitive games. Connected first time without any issues.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is my third Xbox One controller. My first two were early models with the old style D-pad. They suffered from a broken trigger then a broken D-pad. Hopefully third time’s a charm and this one lasts as long as my old Xbox 360 controllers did.

    I needed a controller fast but didn’t want to go off brand. I wanted to stick with xbox so I went with this series x controller. I wanted a black one but for some reason this neon green controller was about 10 euros cheaper so I went with it.

    There are a few subtle differences for the old Xbox one controllers. First is the redesigned concave D-pad. This actually took me a minute to get used to as it actually does feel different from the traditional style D-pad. Secondly is the added ‘share’ button which I really like as it allows me to record video and take screenshots without using the keyboard. Thirdly is the textured grip on the triggers, bumpers and bottom of the controller. These are also a welcome addition and feel better than the smooth grips of the original controllers.

    The wireless features seem a bit more responsive as well. It seems like the controller connects to my computer much faster and remains connected with any signal drops.

    Overall I’m enjoying this controller and I’m glad I bought it.

    Golden Review Award: 23 From Our UsersThe Xbox Wireless Controller in carbon black is an absolute game-changer, redefining the gaming experience with its updated design and seamless functionality. As an avid gamer, I must say that this controller has truly elevated my gaming sessions to new heights, making it a must-have accessory for any Xbox enthusiast.

    First and foremost, the ergonomics of this controller are outstanding. The sculpted surfaces and refined geometry not only enhance the aesthetics but also make gaming incredibly comfortable, even during marathon sessions. The textured grip surface provides a secure hold, ensuring that the controller never slips from my hands, even in the heat of intense gaming moments.

    One of the standout features of this controller is the hybrid D-pad. Its improved design allows for precise inputs, translating to more accurate control in games. Whether I’m executing complex combos in fighting games or navigating through tricky platformers, the D-pad responds flawlessly to my every command.

    The customizability of this controller is another fantastic aspect. Using the Xbox Accessories app, I can effortlessly reassign buttons to suit my playstyle. This feature has proven to be a game-changer, especially in games that require rapid button inputs or for creating personalized control schemes that cater to my preferences.

    Another notable convenience is the 3.5mm stereo headset jack. Being able to connect my compatible headsets and headphones directly to the controller enhances my immersion in the gaming world. The crystal-clear audio and seamless communication with fellow gamers add a whole new dimension to multiplayer experiences.

    Moreover, the inclusion of both Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth technology is a thoughtful touch. The versatility to use the controller wirelessly on supported consoles, Windows 10 PCs, Android smartphones, and tablets makes it a truly universal gaming companion. I love the freedom of gaming without being tethered to a console, and this controller provides just that without compromising on performance.

    Battery life is crucial, and I’m thrilled to say that this controller delivers on that front as well. With AA batteries, I get up to an impressive 40 hours of gameplay. Of course, the actual battery life may vary depending on the usage and additional accessories, but it’s comforting to know that I won’t have to worry about frequent recharging during extended gaming sessions.

    While I have nothing but praise for the Xbox Wireless Controller in carbon black, I must admit that it’s not entirely without minor flaws. The controller’s black finish, although visually stunning, tends to attract fingerprints and smudges, requiring regular cleaning to maintain its pristine appearance.

    Despite this slight issue, I can confidently give this controller a resounding five-star rating. Its impeccable design, comfortable feel, and customizable features make it a must-have for any serious gamer. The ability to use it on various platforms with ease is a game-changer, ensuring that I’ll never have to look for an alternative controller for different devices.

    In conclusion, the Xbox Wireless Controller in carbon black has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is undoubtedly the best controller I’ve ever used, and I cannot recommend it enough to fellow gamers. Whether you’re a casual player or a hardcore enthusiast, this controller will elevate your gaming experience to new heights. It’s a solid investment that brings comfort, precision, and customization together in a single package. Kudos to Microsoft for creating a truly exceptional gaming accessory!

    Good wireless controller. I dropped a star since the version I purchased didn’t include the USB wireless adapter required for PC use, & finding a genuine MS version can be a challenge. I used PKCELL NiZn AA rechargeable batteries which work really well. I’m not sure why these batteries are not more popular, and the NiZn chargers, available on Amazon are over priced. The NiZn batteres have a higher 1.6 voltage than other types of 1.2V rechargeable batteries, and so are a direct substitute for single use alkaline batteries.

    Couldn’t care less about the graphic design. It’s fine. It could be a little sharper but whatever.

    I’m just happy to have an Xbox controller that doesn’t register R3 clicks just looking at it funny. Very solid and very sturdy. The rubber grips are a nice touch but could have covered the topside too.

    Good controller.

    The packaging is secure and it arrives with two AA batteries, its is easy to connect and set up.

    I have been using the Xbox Series X controller for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with its performance and design. It is a great improvement over the previous generation of controllers and offers a more immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.

    Body: The Xbox Series X controller has several features that make it stand out from other controllers. First of all, it has a refined shape and texture that fits perfectly in my hands and feels very comfortable to hold. The grips are rubberized and have a subtle pattern that prevents slipping and enhances grip. The triggers and bumpers are also more responsive and have a satisfying click. The thumbsticks are smooth and precise, and have a concave shape that prevents my thumbs from sliding off. The D-pad is also improved and has a hybrid design that allows for more accurate inputs.

    Another feature that I love about the Xbox Series X controller is the share button. This button allows me to capture screenshots and videos of my gameplay with a single press. I can then easily share them with my friends or on social media platforms. This is a very convenient and fun way to show off my achievements and moments.

    Golden Review Award: 21 From Our UsersI made sure the gamepad I ordered on here was ‘Sold by Amazon’ to reduce the risk of receiving a counterfeit one. I chose the robot white xbox controller, and received a robot white series S/X controller. If you wiki ‘list of xbox controllers’ you can see which list your controller belongs to (my one is from 2020).

    Pros
    – The shoulder buttons, trigger buttons and analogue sticks seem to be of good quality.
    – The controller includes 2x AA batteries so you are good to go if you wish to use it wirelessly, as long as your device has the bluetooth it requires to run.
    – It has the usual xbox design which mainly borrows from the Sega Dreamcast in layout.
    – The controller is recognised on a computer without installing extra software.
    – The controller is not very heavy.

    Cons
    – The d-pad (especially) and it’s four main buttons are a bit loud or clicky which makes the controller feel cheap. There may be alternative controllers with better feeling d-pads out there, although if it’s for retro games you might be better getting a classic styled controller as a backup to this one.
    – The battery cover is of thin plastic which also feels cheap. It may be hard to remove too, and feels like it could break. On the cover, put your finger or nail where the arrow shows and push up gently to open.
    – The 2x AA batteries included are not rechargeable!
    – There is no USB-C to USB-A cable included so you can’t use the controller wired for no lag and zero chance of signal dropouts, unless you have a modern phone cable available.
    – For over fifty quid the gamepad is quite expensive.

    ps Some wireless xbox controller chargers on here have been reported to damage controllers, so I decided to use a simple duracell AA battery charger instead. There don’t seem to be many that are compatible with the sx controllers anyway.
    I avoid non branded items and made up brand name chargers for safety. If you go for any kind of charger or batteries, consider getting them offline or from a high st online store to be safe. I went for rechargeable AA batteries with the highest ‘mah’ rating I could find (highest that the charger could support) so that they would last longer before needing charged again. For the most part though, I’ll probably just use the controller with a phone cable to connect to pc or console.

    There are reports of the white controllers changing pink on the back where your hands normally go, as a result of sweat and long term use. I have not had it long enough to experience this. Other than that, it’s still a good controller, and if you aren’t going to use it for many games which require many d-pad combinations (such as in retro fighting games) then you shouldn’t have a problem with it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Decent quality official gamepad
