    Great color, functionality, and comfort. Questionable quality and longevity.
    My official Xbox One controller lasted me about 4 years, then developed a bad drift issue. I tried giving the internals a deep clean, but no luck.In the market for a replacement, at first I looked at controllers with Hall Effect sensors, which are supposedly immune to stick drift caused by potentiometer wear. Unfortunately, the most popular models I could find run about $70 and have mixed reviews. A lot of complaints about the feel of the buttons being stiffer than official controllers. It sounded like they were still making periodic revisions, so I didn't want to drop $70 until they get their build quality down.Looking at cheaper alternatives, a few friends recommended this PowerA controller. One of them swore by it, while a few others said they were good controllers but had short lifespans. Amazon reviews seemed to say the same. People like it, but in some cases they don't last very long. That said, the particular one I bought only cost $26 on Amazon, so I figured I would give it a shot, hoping it lasts long enough until a quality Hall Effect controller is available.Fast forward, I got my controller on March 23rd. At the time of this writting, it's now June 18th, so I've had it just slightly under 3 months now.Out of the box, the controller seemed great. Yes, it's wired, but for $26 it has a similar feel to the official Xbox controllers. The controller as a whole feels right in terms of form factor and grip, and the joysticks and buttons have a good tactile feel. It has two extra buttons on the back side that can be easily programmed to act like any of the main buttons, which is pretty nice to have. Compared to the official Xbox One controller, there are exposed screw holes on the back side, but they're cleverly positioned so that I never feel them while properly holding the controller. If the controller lasts more than a year without issues, I'd be pretty happy with it.Unfortunately, the controller has developed two problems with it. First off, the D-pad sometimes double-fires when I press on the right direction. I kind of suspect it was always like this out of the box and I just didn't notice it. Most of the games I was playing don't make heavy use of the D-pad. However it became pretty obvious when I started playing a game that made use of the D-pad for menu navigation. For the games I'm playing it's not a huge problem so long as I'm paying attention, but still a bit annoying.The second problem is that I've noticed the paint finish on the D-pad is ready starting to wear off. I've attached a picture where you can see the discoloration caused by the finish wearing off. So far it doesn't really change how the controller feels, but kind of disappointing to be happening already with less than 3 months of use.For the price, I'm still happy with the purchase thus far. I guess it's true you pay for what you get, and for only $26, as long as it lasts another 9 months before developing any other issues that require a replacement, I'll consider it money well spent.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Packing punches and roiling the competition
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2021
    Having begun my gaming “career” with Pong in the mid-70’s (feel my pain), upright machines, almost every console that ever existed, and now as an eSports coach, I feel confident in providing a brief but glorious recommendation for this PowerA controller.

    Playing with a controller is no easy feat, especially on a PC where many controls have been culled to accommodate keyboard and mouse players. Fresh out of the box, the controller is a bit ridgid, but shortly thereafter they shift gears and become more pliable. The design and feel are almost the same as the Microsoft Wired Controller with tactile buttons and stick movements, but include a few, hidden extras.

    Extras come in the form of three programmable paddle buttons underneath, as well as a convenient roller-rocker volume adjustment (see pic) just between the D-pad and right stick. The volume adjustment makes the controller have a bit more value added. The grip feels silicon-based and adds stability to most butterfingers. Another brilliant addition is the Share button which allows you to capture video or screenshots of in-game play, but currently doesn’t have software established for PC players. (Some may consider this less than a bonus, but in my eyes, I bought it for the controller and speed of play.)

    The “dead zones” for many FPS games are really accurate, and I find myself enjoying this heavily in Call of Duty and Rocket League.

    One of the best features is that the cord is completely detachable. As such, the input is “break-away” and the USB-Micro B port is recessed and protected from snapping off in all directions, unlike the wireless Microsoft controller inputs. The USB chip inside is fast and responsive, cutting down on lag when you press triggers or press buttons. The triggers do tend to be a bit touchy, as only 1/10th of the way will fire a CX-9 or Sykov in a game like Call of Duty, but who really wants to not have that kind of access in the heat of battle on something like Shipment (inside CoD joke)?

    As for the volume issues others are experiencing, I have had no issues, but usually I am connected through a different port, so I cannot relate well here. I bought a controller to be… well, a controller, not an audio pass-through. A bit over the cost of the Microsoft wired at $40 compared to Microsoft’s $25 (MSRP), this controller is well-worth the purchase and highly-recommended.
