Microsoft Wireless Official Xbox Black Controller, Compatible with Stereo System

The controller comes packed with a set of batteries so you can use it straight away. It looks very good, better than the original one, plus this controller it's the one for the Xbox One S, it works perfectly on the Original Xbox One, but it's better as it's a new updated version of the controller, it has Bluetooth connectivity and you can connect with other devices as Windows 10 and Tablets.As an avid gamer there are quite a few features that I'd like added to a standard xbox controller so that it not only looks nice but also brings something else to the fore to help make your gaming experience better.Bought this to replace the original controller that came with my Xbox when I bought it a fair few years ago. It works as it should and I like the blue colourA couple of things I've noticed are the textured bits around the hand grips and the LB/RB buttons seem to stick out more than my old controller however its quite possible these were on my old controller but had worn off over time.The addition of a 3.5mm port is really handy and so much better than just having the rubbish usb connectionThis controller is sleek, comes with a rubberised grip on the back to help make keeping hold of it easier and also has a military look and will set up your gaming experience if you're into a lot of FPS. The buttons are as standard and also comes with the 3.5 mm jack fitting.All round a nice piece of kit although you're paying extra for the look rather than additional features other than the grip.

After buying the Xbox one orginal on day 1 and thinking what a cheap pile of rubbish compared to the 360 - Microsoft have turned things around with One S! It's a nice well build console....although I say that, they have -an issue that I found out on my first One S and that is the fan! Some of the orginal batch had issues over the fan rattling, so watch out if you buy second hand! The second One S I got from Amazon, it was new and runs silently as it should. As a test, you should just be able to tell the console is on in a very quiet room.....assuming it's just sat in the menu not doing very much. Any more noise than that, I recommend checking out videos under YouTube titled "Xbox one S fan noise" to compare and to make sure you have a unit without this fault as it is very irritating.On a separate note, the 4K part of the One S is amazing! I wanted the One S to sit in gap the orginal couldn't due to the originals size which is why I upgraded - but the 4K aspect alone is well worth the jump.The updated controller is a lot nicer and slicker too!

I have played so many hours with a Xbox 360 controller, so much so that it feels only natural just to pick one up. But now that they've stopped making the things, I thought it would be best to take it to the next level. It was around this point where I cringed at the price of the Xbox One controller and waited patiently for a sale.After I finally picked one up on discount, it didn't take long to get the thing working. In fact, it was as good as straight out the box. My initial thoughts of the controller is that it is quite simply too small. The grips are not large enough for a grown man's hands. I also felt that the analogue sticks are too loose. The Xbox 360 controller had a good bit of strength behind the sticks and that is sadly missing here. It's nice to have a working d-pad on an Xbox controller. It works nicely with older games that require it (hello, Contra!).Unfortunately, the packing for the controller is pretty bare bones. You literally have a controller in a box. There's no mini-USB cable to plug it in to your computer. A little accessory which would have been a wonderful little touch, especially if Microsoft want to encourage people to use their online PC store. This meant that I had to hook it up with either my phone charger cable or buying the required items to use it wireless. I chose the latter.I bought a battery pack with a charger as well as a blue tooth dongle to connect it to my PC. Cost me a whopping £20 in total. This worked perfectly and haven't had any real issues with it. This Xbox One controller is a pretty fine controller, all things considered. It's not perfect, especially for someone with strong large hands like myself. But I feel a lot safer using this thing than those awful things Sony keep making, as an example.My main issue with this controller is the price. Why is it so expensive? I find it hard to believe people are happy buying Xbox One controllers for £50. It's very much like the price of modern games, an absolute rip off. It's one of the many reasons that I refuse to buy a modern age console as I just can't justify spending that much on games and accessories.I wouldn't say that this controller is the best option out. I find my Steam controller to be considerably more comfortable and customisable. It certainly needs improving in places. But it's as good as it's likely to get, unfortunately.

Works on PC and Windows 7 if you're wondering. I'm running it with no problems on Windows 7. If you have any problems getting it set up on W7, don't worry google a guide video on YT. It may take a couple of tries but I can assure you it does work and works well. Nice comfortable responsive controller.Don't buy the official Microsoft USB cable in order to connect it to your PC, you can get cheaper and better quality Micro USB cables here on Amazon. I recommend Syncwire Micro USB charger cables, which I'm currently using with this controller, they are good quality strong braided cables.Micro USB Cable Syncwire Charger - [2-Pack 6.5ft/2m] Ultra Durable 2.4A High Speed Samsung Charger Cable Nylon Braided Android Fast Charging Cables for Samsung Galaxy, Nexus, HTC, Kindle, LG, Sony, Xiaomi, Motorola, PS4 Controller and More - Space Gray
