Good product.
It's weight is good all the buttons feel quality and have very sturdy and audible clicks when pressed down. I've been a gamer for 30 years and I know what a good controller feels like. This is it. It's surprising for its price for how good it feels. It's lightweight yet sturdy, tho I wouldnt drop it or throw it. The bumper and triggers are very solid and even though the triggers are curved they are very smooth and I could see them slipping from a finger press too light.The Analog sticks feel great and dont seem to have any drift issues. The edges of the analog sticks have anti friction material that feels gritty to prevent the analogs from sliding or slipping if you get sweaty hands. The cord is very long and can easily reach across a small room. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack for headsets. Obviously designed for Xbox consoles but I dont have any. I bought it for my PC. I've played Armored Core 6 and this controller made my experience a blast, I destroyed AC 6 with this controller. Other games Ive used it for on my PC include rouge like games, FPS games, action games and open world RPGs.As a longtime Playstation customer who has every PS console and prefers the PS controller. . . .this controller is fantastic. If you are looking for a good affordable controller for your PC, THIS is it. I HIGHLY recommend it. Of course Xbox players would like it as well but I figure they probably want a wireless controller. On the off chance one of them is looking for a wired one well I recommend this.

Mixed feelings but overall not bad
Edit: The first day I got it, I dropped it while sitting in a chair, about 3 feet. The LT sometimes starts acting up now, I'm not sure if it's because of thatNote that I'm writing this review after a single use. The controller feels lighter than a regular wireless xbox controller, partly because it doesn't have batteries. That gives it a slightly cheaper feeling, like it's a little bit brittle. At the same time, the XYBA buttons don't feel like a regular xbox controller- they feel more rigid/stiff. However the buttons all work as they should, and it feels okay for its price. I'm just happy to have a fully functioning controller again lol

It works, good value
This controller works plain and simple. I got a 60.00 controller off Amazon from a different seller and brand and it works great but indie games don't seem to support it. The left trigger doesn't work in many indie games so I got this controller and it works! Only downside is the triggers are a bit heavier so a game like rocket league will fatigue your finger quickly.

Solid entry-level controller, but with a few compromises
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.

Power A Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S – Good for Light Use, but NOT for Aggressive Gamers
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!

nicely built
the minute I unpacked this controller it felt great, so I installed it to my computer and I used it, and it worked perfectly no fuss at all, and it fells like it will last for a long time it's built solid, and is very responsive, I play a lot of steam games, and I'm so happy it works great

Fantastic wired controller for PC
Works just like the Xbox branded controller I had when it was new. Used this to replace it, since the stick drift go so bad I could no longer play (and couldn't repair it again).I use this on my PC. I don't play PVP games so I can't comment on the speed of response in milliseconds, but I don't have any trouble playing single player games with it.

Budget-friendly option
A decent budget-friendly option for gaming. The design is comfortable, and the buttons are responsive, making it a solid choice for casual play. However, the build quality feels a bit less durable compared to the official controllers, and the wired connection can be limiting for those who prefer more freedom of movement. It’s a good secondary controller but may not meet the needs of more serious gamers.
