PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Royal Purple

I’ve been using it for over a year, maybe almost two. It has been far more reliable than my actual, legitimate Xbox controllers. All of which have barely the ability to function. Let alone with like a wire to constantly keep them connected+charged…

Been using it for 72 hours. 1. It’s everything I wanted as I’ve mapped the two paddles to jump and crouch. 2. I thought it would free up the other buttons but it doesn't it just allows you to synch the back paddles to any other button (so you can press either or when playing). Didn’t matter to me. 3. Build quality is ok. It’s not as good as the Xbox standard controller. Feels cheaper/lighter all round which is to be expected for the price but hasn’t seemed to effected the performance in game. 4. Personally haven’t had any sound/mic issues and been playing Fortnite with friends. Biggest question is will it last. If I get 6 months out of it I’ll be happy. Stick drift happens on all controllers so for $30 I can just get another. 6 Month update - Developed stick drift. Opened up controller sprayed with compressed air & contact cleaner. All working. Would I buy again. Probably not as there are better controllers for the money now. It’s still going strong after 6 months and if in have to open it up now and then to clean it out so be it.

I've been using this thing for a long time now, and I haven't noticed any problems at all with it for off-and-on use and a mild amount of neglect (mostly being left on the floor). No issues with stick drift, nor any issues with buttons being too loose or too tight. I haven't been able to find any use/get any value out of the paddle buttons beyond one game, but frankly, I have never really needed them in the first place, so I won't take a star off for that. The d-pad can be a little tough on the thumb for fighting games like Strive, so I might consider another option with the fully circular d-pad if you're going to be making heavy use of it in a fighting game, but otherwise, it's a great controller that's done a good job for over two years now.

I was thinking to give it 4 star or 5 star. controller works fine, cable is super long, controller seems decent quality. MY concern is while comparing it to like 15$ random controller, buttons feel like they will break soon, as they are super soft to push, especially bumper buttons. also box came slightly damaged, that was my other concern. everything seem to function well. Design is quite nice, feels good in my hand and i can say many positive things. Also some people mentioned that it has huge deadzones, not sure if their controllers were damaged, but for me it feels that it has very small deadzones and feels great. I just really hope that it won't have stick drift at least for a year. So if a stick drift appears, i will update this review to give everyone update when that stick drift starts. Update: Bought it on Jul.11,2023. Today is Sept.16. sadly keypad started to have some issues, but no stick drift so far. For example When I press Down it works fine, When I press Right, it works fine, but when i press down and right together, buttons that are being triggered are down+right+down, or down+right+right. You got the idea. every time i try to use different combinations like left and down, or left and up, every single time 3 different buttons are being triggered together. This is kinda weird. I had no such issues at the beginning. I doubt it is a game issue, BCS i tested it in different fighting games, and same issue. So fighting games now became a bit hard to play BCS of this, but you can still play any other game that doesn't require combos and etc.

Amazing controller, and very durable. I play melee and break controllers super often, this one is like Rambo type thing.

August 2021 Update: So a little update to my review from 4 months ago. The right thumb stick on this unit is already starting to fail. It doesn't bounce back like it should anymore. I know the controller is 4 months old, but I'm thinking that it should last a little longer than that. However for the price paid...Meh. Not a super big deal, just thought others should know this controller won't last forever. April 2021 review: Picked up this pink controller because it was like $5 cheaper than the white & black version, and I am not disappointed. The controller is well built, the sticks are solid, and it has an upgrade since the last PowerA controller I bought. It has a volume / mute button on it now, so you can boost the volume thru your headset even more. Definitely worth the purchase price. Would buy again.

Deze controller ziet er heel mooi uit. Gewoon inloggen en werken. Vanwege de kabel, zit je nooit zonder controller tijdens een spel op de pc.

jo watt soll ich sagen. is mein zweiter controller von der marke. nach ca 12-14 monaten fallen sie halb auseinander. rechtsoben wird stellenweise als links unten anerkannt vom pc etc. linker stick hat über 50% totzone nach besagter zeit... is schon räudig. wenn man kein problem damit hat jedes jahr nen neuen zu kaufen okay. ansonsten besser die original controller kaufen.

Bien niquel pour le prix

Controller Molto buono, finora è andato molto bene e costa poco. Avendo i pulsanti configurabili risulta facile giocare , consigliatissima

Tenía dudas si comprar el control o no, pero me arriesgue e hice bien en hacerlo, muy buen control, es muy rápido (responde al momento los gestos) y no se siente de plástico barato, los contra? Es alambrico, lo destaco ya que algunos no les gustan esos tipos de controles, además de eso, a mi gusto, los botones A, B, Y, X los siento algo más levantados, comparados con unos controles inalámbricos, fuera de eso, es una muy buena compra por su precio.
