PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Lavender Swirl, gamepad, wired video game controllerDetachable 10ft USB-C Cable, Mappable Buttons and Rumble Motors, Officially Licensed for Xbox

Had to buy a new one because somehow I destroyed the rubber on the joystick on my last one. Paddles are a nice addition for jumping and reloading. I bought this because I hate the textured grips on the triggers of new xbox controllers.

Love this controller! Color is perfect! So easy to sync and durable!

**Five-Star Review for PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently purchased the PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for my Xbox Series X, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! The white controller with built in LEDs are not only eye-catching but also adds a stylish touch to my gaming setup.The first thing I noticed was the comfort of the controller. It fits perfectly in my hands, and the textured grips provide excellent control during long gaming sessions. The detachable 10ft USB cable is a game-changer—no more worrying about battery life or having to recharge mid-game. The length gives me the freedom to play comfortably without being tethered too closely to the console.One of the standout features is the mappable buttons. This allows me to customize my controller layout for different games, giving me an edge in competitive play. The added rumble motors enhance the gaming experience, making every explosion and impact feel more immersive.As an officially licensed product for Xbox, I appreciate the high-quality build that PowerA delivers. The responsiveness of the buttons and analog sticks is top-notch, making it easy to execute precise movements in-game.Overall, the PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller has exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic option for any Xbox Series X|S gamer looking for a reliable and customizable controller. I highly recommend it!---

Sometimes they have a drift issue well the blue ones like this, so watch where you have them resting. But after opening and cleaning them the issue tends to go away. (Keep in mind this issue with drift happened about a year after ownership and happens with the left joystick). So now i leave the controllers in open where pressure isn't on the joysticks.

I bought two controllers to use with a PC and Mac for emulator retro games.My brother is using it with retroarch on Windows 10 without issues. It was plug and play. Everything works including rumble. My brother said it's fine, though he's made a small complaint about the added buttons they added on the grip, that it gets in the way and makes it less comfortable to hold. The PC picks up the controller fine, but it picks it up as an Xbox One controller, not an Xbox Series. That doesn't seem to make a difference though, at least that we know of.For the Mac. I'm running High Sierra since it's an older laptop. Mac will recognize it via the USB settings in System Preferences but there are no drivers. There is an open source third party driver "360Controller" you can find on Github to work with Xbox controllers. It has some third-party controller support, but the creator of the driver said PowerA will never work due to the way PowerA implements the functionality on the controller. Apple introduced official support for Xbox controllers in later releases of MacOS, but only for select official Xbox controllers. In short, definitely not MacOS friendly.Got a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Plugged this into my 2021 Fire HD 10 Tablet and brand new Pixel 6A Phone. The controller didn't even light up. No response. Googled the issue. It appears wired controllers, especially third party controllers like this are not going to work without additional accessories on Android devices. Bluetooth controllers only.I don't own an Xbox One or Xbox Series, but I do have an Xbox 360. Just to remove any doubt, this controller 100% does not work with an Xbox 360. I wasn't expecting it to, but tried anyway.I'll have to do more research to find a controller that is more cross-platform.UPDATE:After researching more, it appears Xbox Series consoles are backwards compatible with Xbox One controllers, but you can't use an Xbox Series controller like this on an Xbox One or older gen device. So I paid more money for a newer controller that has less usability than the cheaper older versions. It's a decent controller, but only if you're sticking to Windows or Xbox Series devices.PowerA should do something about this driver support.Update 2: (1+ year later).My brother bought me a $12 third party Switch/Xbox controller that supports Bluetooth, USB 2.4 ghz wireless and USB wired connections. It's rechargeable, supports gyro, has a higher build quality and can connect to all my devices without dealing with the obnoxious long wire.If you're a PC gamer, there's so many better and cheaper options if you're willing to look.

Well they honor the warranty, but that did not help me much. First one might have lasted a year, I toughed it out for a bit, then the second one went bad in months, quicker than the first. Maybe I just got really unlucky, it seems like everyone is making dirt cheap controllers no matter what you pay to me. Controller 1 had a damaged RB, useable but sometimes it would not connect, however both controllers experienced stick drift. The following was the real annoyance, the sticks and buttons would activate another, LT would trigger RT, right stick up trigged LT, how does this even happen and on both!
