  • REVIEW WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT INFO OF THIS XBOX CONTROLLER!!
The media could not be loaded. Good packaging, it wrinkled a little because I used Amazon prime with free shipping. Easy to connect to Windows 11 PC, it literally only took me less than 5 minutes + a Youtube tutorial to use it with Bluetooth. It comes with AA batteries, they are not rechargeable, but they are of very good quality. I was playing Naruto Storm 4 on PC for 3 hours and it didn't go below 100%. They are from my Duracell brand. (I write this a week after buying the controller: the AA batteries have not discharged yet, they continue to work at 100%, without failures, with more than 6 hours of play during the last week, that is, they are very good) It comes with a code to configure the controller on the PC. It comes with a manual on how to connect it to the PC safely in case you can't find a tutorial, even so, the Bluetooth mode is the best. The grip, the quality of the buttons, plastics and so on is of good quality. The paint is also of good quality. It is not metal, it is plastic with a metal design similar to gold. It responds well to PC games, and the PC detects it very easily, since the PC with wind 11 and 10. They already come with those configurations. I don't know previous versions. Yes, if you buy it from this link or sections, you will receive the original and not the Renewed version from Amazon. The renewed one from Amazon comes with some system failures, there is nothing at the moment. Additionally, in the description of this page it tells you that the manufacturer is Microsoft. Otherwise, with the other page that tells you that the manufacturer is Amazon. The lowest price I found it at was $54, on Amazon prime day it is $56. On black Friday I don't know. If you want to use it at night, the buttons tend to make a lot of noise, especially A,X,B,Y. They sound a lot. On the other hand, it can be connected to PS2, PS3, Wii etc. emulators. Just look for the option that says Xinput or something similar in the current emulator. In my case, I'm playing God of War One on PS3 and it works great with the controller. The same on the PS2, I already did some tests on that one too. ... show more

  • Perfect for the gamer in your life
I bought this for my teenage son for Christmas or birthday. He's a gamer and goes through controllers like underwear. This one has worked really well with no issues. Still functioning as it should. It's a nice special edition version as well that any gamer would appreciate.

  • Premium controller
I’ve had this controller since the Xbox X came out and I’ve had absolutely no issues with it. It looks great and it was worth what I paid.

  • Perfect!
Been needing a new one for so long and my husband love this one! The gold is smooth and amazing. No design mess ups. Rubber on the outside handle is nice(black and gold) and the rubber on the inside is even better on my controller. The purple tye dye is just breathtaking and I hate using it because it’s so pretty! Smooth joysticks, buttons are easy and don’t stick at all. So far my batteries don’t die so quick in these ones like they did my last controller. Same brand too. ... show more

  • First Reaction Is Always - “Whoa!”
The fit, grip, quality and value of this controller is fantastic. I don’t normally geek-out with this kind of thing, but I’m glad I did. The muted gold and fade to black transition is a work of art and has held up over time. -It’s been accidentally dropped on porcelain floor tiles many times and hasn’t been chipped, gauged or broken. The only thing I’ve ever replaced are batteries. Reactions to the look of this controller have always been positive among different age groups. But the best part: The first reaction is always - “Whoa!” ... show more
