PowerA Wired Controller For Xbox Series X|S - Black, Gamepad, Video Game Controller Works with Xbox One

Great product until the usb cord wouldnt keep the controller on (if the controller moves, the power shuts off). I'm disappointed because it was so good at first. I only used it lightly (an hour or 2 every other day, sometimes daily) for about 4 weeks before the cord gave out.*Edit: I built a second pc and tried the controller again and it worked without a problem. I will update if it doesnt work again, but so far it works as great as when I first got it a few months ago. Great product if it continues to work.

Originally Purchased back in 2022, When it was around $16. Controller had seen it all, Thrown across rooms. Hard game sessions. Finally a week or two ago it started having stick drift.3 Years for $16 Bucks, and it feels almost exactly like the Official Xbox Controller the rest of my family hasFinally ordered a new one, Another 3 years!

I bought some of these to replace my Microsoft and PDP controllers which were complete junk.The Microsoft Xbox One controller lasted about three months before stick drift took over and made it unusable. My old Xbox 360 controllers could have survived a nuclear apocalypse. A completely waste of $70.The PDP still works but they have a serious flaw when it comes to the USB cord becoming disconnected at the controller side and eventually not working any longer. This happened with all three I own. The PDP also comes with a shorter cord. While they are much cheaper at $25, it's still a waste.The PowerA doesn't feel as premium as the Microsoft controller but it does have the same length cord and hopefully, doesn't suffer from stick drift so early on or port disconnection issues like the PDP.Only time will tell and I will update my review accordingly.Made in China

This controller is just as good as the OEM controller. If I have to buy an entire new controller just for a potentiometer replacement this is a good compromise.

Probably the best wireless controller in budget friendly range. Doesn’t last longer as the wired one but sustainability was never a question. Always admired black color and liked the service of it. The control was smooth. With time, L1 R1 buttons lose its function and that’s the only side need to be improved!

For the price of this thing I got it at $26. It is a really good controller for the price. It’s not phenomenal by any means but it is a good control controller for budget users.

This controller is decent for casual gaming, but if you play aggressively, it’s not going to last long. I’ve gone through multiple of these, and each time, the thumbsticks stopped working properly after about three months.Pros – It’s Cheap and Gets the Job Done✔ Affordable – Way cheaper than an official Xbox controller.✔ Wired connection is solid – No input lag, always responsive.✔ Good for casual players – If you don’t rage on your controller, it’ll last a while.Cons – Not Meant for Intense Use!✖ Thumbsticks wear out FAST – If you play FPS games aggressively, expect them to drift quickly.✖ Not the most durable buildFinal Verdict – If You Break Controllers Often, Just Buy This!If you’re like me and go through controllers like candy, this is actually a good option because it’s cheap and does the job. If you tend to break even the expensive ones, just keep buying this instead—it’s cheaper than replacing a $70+ wireless one every few months!

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this PowerA wired controller for about two weeks, mainly for Xbox Game Pass and occasional PC gaming.✅ The button layout is intuitive, and the grip feels quite similar to the official Xbox controller.✅ I really like the dual rumble motors – they add just enough feedback without being overwhelming.✅ The wired connection is responsive, no noticeable lag.🔻 However, the build quality is noticeably lighter, and the plastic feels less premium.🔻 The cable is long enough, but not detachable, which might limit portability.Overall, for $27, this is a very decent alternative to the pricier first-party controllers. Great for casual gamers or as a spare.🌟 Rating: 4/5 — Recommended with minor caveats.
