- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024Style: ControllerColor: Deep PinkVerified PurchaseLove the color, I got pink as a long running joke between me and my son. The controller has no lag, is easy to use and set up in syncing it to the Xbox series X. Good solid cord port, too. Good price for an authentic name brand controller!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024Style: ControllerColor: Pulse RedVerified PurchaseI 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2024Style: ControllerColor: Electric VoltVerified PurchaseThe “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.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024Style: ControllerColor: Electric VoltVerified PurchaseGreat controller, works amazing. I trust these from the official Xbox store rather than aftermarket ones. I needed a new one, and these are very fairly priced. It operates perfectly and the smoothness and responsiveness is just as I had hoped. Connected easily to my Xbox One X, vibration is just right. It came with AA batteries, not the battery pack which is separate, but I knew this when buying it. I highly recommend buying a controller like this from the actual Xbox store, and the color is awesome!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2024Style: ControllerColor: Carbon Black + USB-C CableVerified PurchaseI didn't take pictures, because I didnt think much of it at first but I am a little confused. While everything works perfectly fine and has no issues, there were some confusing and random things for it being a new product. When i opened it, it looked like the box had been opened, repackaged (poorly) and than retaped back up. There was also some damage to the box. When i opened the box, the packaging looked like it was either out of order or reboxed improperly. The cabling wasn't coiled or anything it was randomly stuffed in the box, there was one random scratch on the controller (not very noticeable) and it was covered in dust and hair. That was the most confusing part of it being new, covered in dust and hair.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visual único.
Style: ControllerColor: Sky CipherVerified PurchaseO tema azul do controle foi muito bem pensado. Os gatilhos e o direcional digital em azul metálico ficaram lindos e não destoam do restante do conjunto. A adição do emborrachamento nas laterias internas do controle melhoram a "pegada" e a aderência, bem como a textura gravada nos gatilhos e nos botões de ombro. É um controle de excelente qualidade com ênfase na beleza estética.
