I bought this for Diablo IV since I was curious about gaming on my PC with a controller. I’m old school in the sense that Ive always used my keyboard/mouse combo for PC gaming but my buddy mentioned that the controller would help with some of the back pain (sitting closer to the keyboard) and wrist pain (keyboard strokes) that I had been experiencing and I was shocked at how comfortable the game play is! I would have bought a wireless controller but I didnt want to spend that kind of money without being sure. I will go wireless next time but I am Very Happy with this one for now. Great purchase for the older gamers out there that might be curious.

Not quite as good as standard Xbox brand one, but worth the money

The controller is a great buy but the button springs aren’t the best they usually go bad first then the sticks, that will happen after about a year or so depending on how much use, if you drop it, etc still good quality overall recommend it!

Using this on PC. It did not work at first, switched to a different USB port and the white light came on. I installed the App from the windows app store, it detected the control and updated the firmware. The update took about 3-4 minutes to complete. The control works fine but feels like it might not last long, time will tell.

Bought this because I wanted a simple controller and this seemed alright to get used to the XB1 form factor. The controller feels okay, is a little lighter than the XB1 controller, but the worst part is stick drift.
The controller out of the box, always has at least 5-10% drift on either side on the left analog stick. I returned the first one I bought with constant 7% and the next one had a 2%. Then I just gave up because it was too much effort and manually adjusted a deadzone.

El mando tiene un funcionamiento bueno y cumple para su precio, pero tiene algunos aspectos que pueden no convencerte.
Las cosas buenas: Los botones en general y los joysticks son decentes y funcionan bien para jugar.
La aplicación de accesorios de Xbox, Steam u otra aplicación o directamente en la consola, lo reconoce rápido y se puede utilizar al instante.
Además de que la distancia del cable es excelente si lo quieres para no estar tan cerca del tv o monitor.
Algunos de sus problemas son: Su construcción, se siente bastante plasticoso y es un poco resbaladizo, además de que tiene un pequeño led en medio del mando que te puede molestar (aún más si tienes las luces apagadas).
El conector jack para audífonos del mando es malo, el sonido se escucha muy enlatado y raro, por lo que no recomiendo usarlo.
Punto intermedio: Su entrada de alimentación es mediante micro USB, pero si no te importa no pasa nada, funciona correctamente.
En conclusión si no tienes dinero para el mando de Xbox actual o quieres uno extra/secundario por si lo necesitas para un momento de “emergencia” y no tienes problema con lo mencionado, cómprate este mando.

Really great controller, my package was in good condition, and the controller feel as if it was brand new. I never had an xbox one controller before nor the console itself, but it is really great for PC gaming and feels comfortable moving around the joysticks and buttons. Just feels organic. And the fact that it’s a wired controller make it even more appealing. It feels like a premium product but it’s not expensive at all, which makes it perfect for anyone looking to buy a controller. The design of this controller is very unique, it has its own style with the textured grip on the sides and the curve on the top, making it easy for you to hold and control the console. Also, there are two analog sticks located at the bottom of the controller which allows you to move your character easier. As mentioned earlier, it has two triggers in the middle of the controller which allows you to do different things depending on what game or app you’re playing. Personally, I use these triggers to shoot in FPS games, but you can also use them to attack or grab objects easily. There are four buttons located below the triggers, three are the standard buttons that allow you to fire bullets, jump and so forth while the fourth is a button that is used to perform special moves. I’ve noticed the Xbox One controllers have a “snap” feature that allows you to attach the controller to your console like a backpack, allowing you to carry it around anywhere without worrying about losing it. This button is also located underneath the trigger, which means you won’t lose track of it when you want to attach the controller to your console. If you need to detach the controller from your console again, just press the button once and pull the controller off. You will hear a click sound indicating the connection. When attached, the controller has a good weight to it so you’ll know you’re holding something worthwhile. As I said before, the controller feels like it was manufactured by Microsoft and that’s because it’s actually made by them, along with other major manufacturers such as Logitech, SteelSeries, Hyperkin and many more. If you’re a serious gamer looking for a controller that fits your needs, then look no further!

This (PowerA Wired Controller For Xbox Series X|S – Black, Gamepad, Video Game Controller Works with Xbox One) was a good option for me to have a wired controller to play games on my PC. It is compatible with Windows 11. It’s not fancy, but gets the job done.

Recently purchased the PowerA Wired Controller, and I must say, it’s a fantastic addition to my gaming arsenal. The performance of this controller is top-notch, offering responsive buttons and precise analog sticks that enhance my gaming experience.
The wired connection ensures a lag-free experience, and I love the reliability it provides, never having to worry about battery life during intense gaming sessions. It’s plug-and-play, so setting it up was a breeze, and I was ready to dive into my games within seconds.

Ho acquistato il controller cablato PowerA per utilizzarlo con un notebook da gaming in sostituzione del mouse, in modo tale da potermi godere al meglio alcuni videogiochi dove la combinazione mouse e tastiera risulta scomoda per giocare, il tutto cercando semplicità e senza puntare a particolari prestazioni tipiche di un joystick da gaming di fascia alta. Con Windows 11 il controller è plug and play, nel senso che una volta collegato al computer è pronto per l’utilizzo senza doverlo configurare o installare driver, questo per quanto mi riguarda è un forte punto a favore del prodotto! Ho inoltre eseguito diversi test su vari videogiochi con la piattaforma Steam e funziona benissimo, quindi potete stare tranquilli per il discorso della compatibilità con la piattaforma di Valve, non avrete problemi. Ci tengo a sottolineare che questo controller PowerA non è wireless, ma cablato! Il cavo del joystick è lungo e molto rigido, per risolvere il problema della lunghezza è possibile raggrupparlo e chiuderlo con il comodo laccio a strappo incluso nel cavo. Per la questione rigidità mi sento di valutarla come eccessiva, a questo punto avrei preferito decisamente un cavo in tessuto! Ho scelto la colorazione nera opaca e alla vista il controller è davvero bello da vedere, inoltre la qualità dei materiali con cui è stato realizzato è molto buona, decisamente superiore rispetto a quella di altri controller della stessa fascia di prezzo che ho avuto modo di testare in passato. I tasti al tatto non risultano “plasticosi” o meccanici e nei titoli che ho provato li ho trovati molto precisi e piacevoli al tatto, unica pecca i grilletti superiori che avrei preferito leggermente più “duri”, con gli FPS inizialmente può risultare complicato riuscire a calibrare la quantità di colpi sparati ma con un pò di pratica si può ovviare il problema! La vibrazione del controller è buona e precisa anche se non eccessivamente potente, comunque considerato il prezzo ridotto del prodotto in questione ci può stare. Rispetto all’originale Microsoft il controller PowerA è molto più leggero, questo fattore è soggettivo e può piacere o non piacere, dipende da come uno è stato abituato in passato. Nel mio caso lo avrei preferito leggermente più pesante, ma non mi sento di criticarlo sotto questo aspetto perchè mi rendo conto che per tanti utenti questa leggerezza potrebbe essere una qualità piuttosto che un difetto. In conclusione valuto il controller cablato PowerA con 4 stelle, se cercate un joystick semplice ma di buona qualità per il vostro PC ad un prezzo onesto dovreste tenerlo in considerazione! Considerate poi che parliamo di un controller che ha la licenza ufficiale Xbox, quindi di un prodotto che è stato sottoposto a diversi test in termini di prestazioni, giocabilità e durata.
