No need to buy batteries anymore

I got really sick & tired of controller batteries dying at EXACTLY the wrong moment. Also got sick of running out of batteries. Never mind the COST of all those batteries, which really makes me sick. A thought occurred to me: hey dummy, get a wired controller! All problems described were solved when this arrived. I figure in a few months or a year this thing will have paid for itself in batteries not purchased. While it may not be the best or highest quality controller ever made, it suits my purpose. I have NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE from stock MS controller. Nice long cable, too. If it takes a dump or A button stops working or some such, I will update my review. I would recommend highly! Thanks.

USB 3.0 for pc users

I was absolutely amazed how it felt right out of the box, literally I had not even plugged it in to my computer and the texture of the controller was amazing. Now, I got discouraged almost teared up when I plugged the device into the computer and it was not responding properly. The solution was plugging the device into a usb 3.0 port after that no issues. I recommend this remote to anybody looking for a remote and a plus it's very affordable. Purchased this Jan 21, 2018 it's now Dec 24, 2018. This remote still feels and works as if it were new.

Who Needs Wireless

This item arrived three days after I ordered it. It was well-made, and every function worked just like the original. I don't see the need for a wireless controller when this one has about a 10 foot cord, and not having to buy batteries or chargers does mean it will eventually pay for itself. And the fact that it cost less than half of an original controller made my purchase decision much simpler. I myself don't use a headset while playing games as I don't want to have a 12 year old kick my rear online (I'm 66 years young) but there is a headset jack (3.5 mm) for those who go online and play teams, etc. I would buy it again.

Very well made

So I have been rocking some nonsense my wife got me because she hates gaming and it shows when she buys me things. I needed a decent controller for some RPG's I play (not FPS games, I'm not a heathen) for my PC. This controller is fantastic for the price. It has a very nice weight to it and feels very well built. It has a very comfortable textured back and all the buttons have a press to them. The vibration is quite strong and the sticks are quite firm (ladies...). I would reccomend this product to anyone looking for a very solid wired controller.

The perfect controller!

I am mostly a keyboard and mouse player for PC, but some games (Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, racing games, other fairly casual single-player games) I just want to sit back and relax with a controller. I was using an Xbox 360 controller for the last ~4 years, and liked it. I replaced it with this one because the left stick was not working when I pressed it down. Since this is how you run or crouch in some games, it was very annoying when it didn't work! This controller is infinitely more comfortable. The grip is simple but amazing. The little ridges really help with grip and feel nice. The buttons feel good and tactile. The only weird thing is that the right and left buttons (the ones by the trigger buttons) have a pretty loud click. This is a pretty minor concern, but is a bit weird considering all the other buttons are pretty quiet. I really like the fact that it has a headphone/mic jack. I have a desktop that has different ports for audio in and out, but not a combined jack. So using my wired headset can be kind of a chore to plug in if I want to use my mic. But now I can just plug in to my Xbox controller when I need to take a quick meeting on Discord or something. It's great. I think it degrades the quality slightly but it's very convenient for me.

Surprisingly good

To be honest I wasn't expecting a good controller, I just needed a stopgap controller for the PC when I didn't want to go find the branded Xbox One controller. Turns out that this thing is actually really good. I ordered the white version for the same price, looks very sharp. It's actually heavier than the branded controller (sans batteries). It has a nice long and thick USB cable and a very nice textured back. All the buttons work as expected and the build quality is solid. I'm not a fan of rumble so I have it turned off on the PC so I can't comment on that. The only things I would change are the plasticy click on the shoulder buttons and the lack of texture on the d pad, both are minor.

Works perfectly fine

I wanted to get a cheap, affordable and usable controller because I'm pretty low on cash, and this worked just fine. Everything works, and the first game on rainbow six siege on PC i dropped 9-0, although it was casual. Honestly, if you don't want to pay top dollar for a MICROSOFT official controller, this works just fine as a replacement.

Does the job

I have 3 boys that have lost and damaged a half dozen rechargeable battery kits for their wireless xbox controllers and I was 1000% done replacing them. I decided to get wired controllers. I had not initially realized that these controllers weren't Microsoft products, but are in fact an Amazon after market controller. My fault for having wine & Amazoning. I was concerned upon opening about the quality and durability of them. However, these controllers have a good weight to them, fit nicely in the had and the analog stick/ button feel of the controller is almost indistinguishable from real xbox one controller. After several weeks they have held up to unspeakable abuse from my children. Over all these are a good value, but if you are an avid adult gamer they may feel a tad laggy/ drifty using the analog for shooters.

Plug and play for Windows 10 version of Minecraft (not tested in java version)

I bought this controller specifically to play the Windows 10 version of Minecraft on my Windows 10 PC. Note: not tested on the java version of minecraft. TL;DR version of my review: Pros: -Plug and play setup for Windows 10, no extra setup needed to play minecraft (Win 10 version. I have not confirmed with Java version). No Joke: Plug in to PC, shows on device list, open minecraft, play. No 3rd party controller app needed. No mapping of keys required. No joystick sensitivity calibration required. -True Xbox controller, shows on PC as xbox controller. -Controller layout is already set up to play like the console version of Minecraft. -9ft cable with "quick release" trip safeguard near the USB/PC end of the cable, for protecting your PC. -Smaller than the "giant" xbox controllers I'm used to. It's more the size of a playstation controller. That's a pro for me, maybe not for everyone though. -Easy switch if you're going from PS4/Console version of minecraft to the PC version. -Not using my expensive PS4 controller at my PC (more chance of dropping and breaking) -Good price for what it is. If it breaks, I'll likely just buy another one of these. Cons: -Right and Left Bumper buttons make a click sound when pressed, similar to that of a mouse click. It's slightly annoying, but could be okay to others, or WORSE to others depending on what situation you are playing in (quiet library? baby/child sleeping? Wife/husband sleeping? Playing in a public place? Trying to not let your parents know you're playing video games late at night? haha). Notes: I have not tested this on an Xbox of any kind. I have not tested this controller on any other version of windows. I have not tested this on the JAVA VERSION of minecraft. The Java Version of minecraft is not controller-friendly. I really wish it was.... Wordy Version of my review: I was previously using an ps4 controller (Official Sony brand, wireless, but connected via USB to my computer) on my PC but there was a bit of set up I had to do first before I could use it. I had to map the keys/buttons using a 3rd party app/program (DS4) first, including calibrating the sensitivity of the joysticks (which control movement and view/direction). In addition to that, the program (DS4) had to be started and running prior to opening Minecraft. This wasn't a huge deal to me, but I wanted something that just worked, I didn't want this "lingering fear" over my head that I'd have to do that setup again (of downloading and installing DS4, re-mapping my buttons, and recalibrating the sticks) if I were to take the controller anywhere else. What a pain in the ACE. I wanted a controller that was compatible with my pc for playing minecraft and just WORKED when you plug it in. This controller works for that. You plug it in, and it works. There is no need for a 3rd party program, no need to map any keys, no installing driver. It shows up on your device list as an xbox controller. You plug it in, you open minecraft, and it works. I'm coming from playing minecraft on PS4 (console version of minecraft). This controller automatically has the same controls as the ps4 version when you plug it in to your computer. So this controller makes it an easy switch from PS4 to PC, and no need to re-learn the controller layout, you can just play how you're used to playing. The menus can also be controlled with the controller (chests, crafting, brewing, settings) there are no problems at all with compatibility. And for this price, it was an easy choice because I could justify the purchase for the luxury of playing with a controller. I also didn't want to constantly have my expensive PS4 controller connected to my PC, since there is a higher chance of falling 3ft onto my hardwood floor and breaking. The PS4 controller had to be connected via the usb cable, and my PC tower is on the ground, where I could easily "take it with me" when getting up from my desk... gahhh... For this price, even if this controller drops and breaks, I am not crying over a broken ps4 controller and needing to buy a new one for $60. Especially since this controller has a super long usb cable, and a quick-disconnect trip safety (to protect my pc) just in case I DO "take it with me." My only con about this controller is that the Right and Left bumper buttons make a click sound (kinda like a mouse click). I really wish it didn't have that, it's kind of annoying.

It's really good for the price.

My wireless controller broke after almost 3 years of use two days ago and I was sick of charging ng batteries for it all the time so I decided to just buy a wired. Recieved this one earlier today and after about 5 ish hours of playing, trying to get use to the different overall shape/button placement compared to the wireless one its pretty nice. It take a little getting use to, the back and select buttons are closer to the home so I'd accidentally hit the home a few times but I feel like the more I play with it my hands will adjust. Big plus that I can retire my old rechargeable batteries now. Definitely reccomend if you go through a lot of controllers or if you're sick of batteries, takes some getting use to though.
