PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Arc Lightning, Officially Licensed for Xbox

Very good never got stick drift

As listed on my title, I made this my toddlers controller and it’s so easy he figured it out. Loves the cool design and soft texture. Tells me he wants to play with the cool controller.

Nearly 2 years later my right joystick is starting to give me problems. This controller, especially for the price, has been a robust and responsibe tool for gaming.Ive been primarily playing Elden Ring on it since release and only now am I starting to get some weird drift in the right stick. Everything else is working flawlessly and has been. Will buy a new one to replace this one soon.

You may think powera isn't durable but it is... The quality of the controllers has gotten much better... I've dropped them a few times and they still work... Except one of the controllers joysticks cracked and stopped working... If they fall on the joysticks the controller will have to be replaced... Hopefully they fix that in the future.... I will still buy PowerA controllers though... They're not a terrible company like PDP... PDP controllers don't come with vibration and they fall apart within weeks...

Best Xbox/PC controller in my opinion. As someone who used the actual $120 Xbox Elite controller when it first came out, I can say that this is a great and much cheaper substitute so long as you're okay with it having just 2 programmable back buttons (compared to Elite's 4 back paddles.) This is the 2nd one I've had. The first one I had for like 7-8 months and I was using it very, very often, and the right back button broke into the controller and somehow caused the right thumb stick to malfunction at the same time so I threw it out. I bought this one to replace it because the first controller worked great. This one looks awesome and it was only $20. As long as you're not rough with the controller, it should last a long time. It doesn't compare to the strong durability of more expensive controllers though, but still really good.

This is the worst controller I have ever purchased. This controller came out of the box with horrible stick drift on the right analog. I am constantly fighting the stick when trying to look around in any game. This is extremely poor quality for a brand new controller. I would not recommend buying this controller. The benefit of the cheep cost pales in comparison to the frustration I have experienced while using this controller. Just buy a more expensive and better quality controller.

So honestly this was a decent controller. I bought it cause it came with a chord and since i game a lot during my free time, i figured i could use it for less fast paced games like Minecraft or Skyrim.The weight and feel were nice and light and i actually preferred using it for games like Apex over my 100$ controller. That said, i started noticing drift at about 3 weeks. It was minor at first but then it got to the point where i literally had to correct my site every second and constantly hard look left to compensate for the right drift. It got so bad that i pretty much just shelfed the controller. It still works. And for games that don't require heavy or finesse use of the right joystick, it's still fine.And while i resigned myself to controller degradation, that it didn't even last half a yeae before showing signs of deterioration was bad.That said, it's an affordable controller. If you need a spare it's perfectly fine i think. And if you're a casual user, i think it'll last a while. Hope this helps.

I now own two of these PowerA controllers, as they work beautifully for every controller-on-PC gaming application. I've used Dualshock4s, they are too loose with the connection, but PowerA does not have that issue, and it's responsive, comfortable, and most importantly, compatible. The controllers work beautifully with both Steam as well as emulators.
