Xbox Controller for Windows + Cable

The Microsoft Xbox Controller with cable works flawlessly on Windows. It feels comfortable, responsive, and perfectly ergonomic for long gaming sessions. Plug-and-play setup was straightforward, and the wired connection ensures lag-free input, which is perfect for competitive gaming. A solid choice for PC gamers who want a high-quality controller.

I was reluctant to buy this controller for my PC because I had an X-Box 360 controller I had gotten used to (which had subsequently broken), and this seemed to have a somewhat different form factor. Since Microsoft doesn't make the 360 version anymore, I thought I'd give this one a shot. The first one had a finnicky "A" button, so I returned it and the replacement I got works perfectly. Controls are tight and responsive, the analog sticks are definitely different than the 360 version and took a little getting used to, but I can see why so many people like these ones better. I almost took a star off for not being closer to the older form factor, but I decided that would be unfair, and honestly this controller feels more comfortable every time I use it. It's less bulky and more streamlined. There are a few major advantages you're gonna have with this controller-- to start, being a Microsoft controller, you KNOW it'll be compatible with the vast majority of PC games, esp. games on Steam; so there's no need to worry about downloading external drivers like with the PS4 controller, or hoping whatever off-brand controller you've bought is compatible with all your games. You plug this thing in, it works. Period. And tons of modern games are designed with an X-Box controller in mind anyway. No fuss, no hassle. Second-- hallelujah, the D-Pad on this thing is actually USABLE. I even prefer using it to the analog stick for some games, shockingly. The D-Pad on the 360 controller was trash; really only good for selecting weapons/options for your character and stuff like that. This new one, while not as good as say your typical Nintendo or Playstation controller, is pretty darn decent. Third -- and this is important -- the cable connecting your controller to your PC is removable. The reason I trashed my old 360 controller is because there was some kind of break in the controller wire, which meant it couldn't reliably keep a connection with my PC. Seems like that should be a relatively small problem, but my controller was well out of warranty, and I didn't know how to fix it or remove and replace the cable myself (looking up how-to videos on youtube showed me it would have been WAY too much hassle). But guess what? That'll never be a problem on this controller since if the controller wire ever did break, it takes all of 3 seconds to unplug the broken cable and plug in a new one. So unless Microsoft stops making USB wires for this thing, you should be golden. One less potential issue to worry about. Overall I highly recommend this thing. Without going into a higher tier like the Elite series, you're likely not going to find a better controller for your PC for the money.

Still pretty new to getting this 4N6-00001 Xbox Controller with Windows Cable, so will follow up with a performance update if needed. Feels nice and sturdy. I do not have an Xbox One and the last time I played an up-to-date Xbox console was 2013, so my review is going to be focused on the PC side of things. I picked this controller over other budget controllers for PC because I wanted something that will last and can withstand up to action/intense gaming while still delivering quality results. Since Microsoft makes Xbox and they need durable console controllers, was a no brainier. Pros: - Cable can be used to plug-and-play on Windows 10 with no problem. Have not double-checked if any drivers need updated. If they do, runs nice out of box. - If you just use the cable to connect to PC, you don't need the batteries. I kid you not, and still haven't installed any. - Instructions say it is Bluetooth compatible (Xbox link on packaging says only for Windows 10 and certain Android devices) and also works on Xbox One. - Sturdy controller construction and feel. Currently withstood about 10-15 hours of total action gaming time and seems durable. - Has an audio jack (have not tested) - Has not slipped while holding it at all during my few hour gaming session. After all, had to test it for extended game play, comfort, and durability. - USB cable is 8 ft long. This is a huge, huge plus right there. - I do not find the light from the Xbox logo distracting while gaming (I know this has been a frequent complaint with other light-logo or LED PC controllers). Cons: - The D-pad is only 4-directional. I know some prefer a round pad that allows for an 8-directional navigation, but I think this D-pad is standard on Xbox controllers - Usually I have more cons for products, but I can't think of any right now. Currently very satisfied with this purchase.

The vendor was perfectly fine, great in fact. I just find the Xbox one controllers to be lacking in a few regards compared to the old 360 counterparts. For one the plastic is flimsier, very noticeable when you make a sliding motion with your hand from your grip. Makes a creeky sound. The next is that the analog stick on the left is farther up then the 360 version. This may not sound like much, but it does cause your thumb to extend too far which in precision movement based games (like fighting games) It's harder to pull off motions. The positives are that the D-pad is actually very good. So good in fact I sometimes prefer using it over the thumbstick. Additionally it takes a bit to get used too, but I enjoy the new bumpers and back bumpers.They created an indent that makes it easier to quickly press which bumper you'd prefer. I never did like the triggers to be honest, it added a few frames of delay and in a fighting game it made things like perfect parring harder. Overall I prefered the 360 controller for it's left thumbstick and durability. It's sad because if Microsoft lowered the thumbstick just a tad, I'd say it'd be an overall better controller then the 360.

You don't need this one, just order the wireless controller and attach a USB cable, that's it.

Bought as a present. The fella was happy with it, as he wanted an official microsoft one. Came within 24 hours of ordering.

Correspond parfaitement à la description

O controle é original, com um acabamento e precisão IMPECÁVEIS!! Super prático de usar (é só conectar e ir jogar) e excelente para suas jogatinas. Vale super a pena quando você consegue desconto ou promoção, além disso eu recomendo comprar uma capinha de silicone para proteger o controle e aumentar ainda mais o tempo de vida do controle. No mais, 10/10 o controle!

Vamos a empezar por lo mejor, el precio. Encontré el control remoto con descuento; al parecer era seminuevo, pero inspeccionado y garantizado por amazon a un excelente precio; $637 pesos mexicanos con envío gratis (prime). Cabe mencionar que la apariencia del control es prácticamente de un articulo nuevo; llego en su caja impecable con todo lo que debía contener, al día siguiente del pedido y en perfectas condiciones. El uso que le he dado al control es para jugar en mi laptop Alienware 15R3 video juegos mediante la plataforma Steam. Antes de utilizar este control jugaba con un mando del Xbox 360 el cual conectaba a mi computadora con un adaptador USB para poder usarlo de manera inalambrica; el cual dejo de funcionar tras varios años de servicio. Lo mejor Lo que más agrada de este control es que no es necesario el adaptador USB para conectarlo a la computadora, este control puede conectarse directamente a la pc (con Windows 10) mediante el bluetooth, solo basta encenderlo y presionar el botón superior de emparejar para que la computadora detecte que esta el control disponible y te permita jugar sin tener que instalar drivers ni nada, asi que el cable USB que viene incluido sale sobrando. Las áreas de oportunidad El control puedes utilizarlo con baterias AA de toda la vida, ya sean las de tienda de un solo uso o recargables y es aquí en donde encontramos el único punto que podrían mejorar; ya que las baterias recargables no se recargan al conectar el cable micro USB (incluido) y tienes que utilizar un cargador independiente para hacerlo. Entiendo que es un tema de marketing ya que microsoft vende su propio set de baterias especiales para este control, aun así el rendimiento de mis baterías recargables energizer de 1500 mAh (que dicho sea de paso ya tienen un par de años) ah sido muy bueno y me permite jugar por varias horas sin tener que volver a cargarlas. En general es un muy buen producto, la calidad de los botones y del plástico no tiene comparación, son geniales y característicos de los mandos de Microsoft, esperemos que este control me dure los 4 o 5 años de servicio que me dio el anterior modelo.
