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.

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

Fantastic built quality, comes with the USB cable and it has the audio jack. Most people don't know that you can use this not only with your Xbox One but also with your PC and android phones over bluetooth! Yes It has built-in blue-tooth and the headset connector which is top quality (I am connecting my Logitech Artemis G933 straight from the audio jack, excellent audio quality).The audio jack is TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve) or AKA 4-pole jack. This allows stereo sound and mic to work, you hear both the game and people's voice over that output (e.g. the Xbox allows you to change their volumes individually). IF you have a PC headset that has separate jacks for stereo out and mic you need to get a cheap cable adapter and you can still use it without any issues.Notice that this comes with just some plain AA batteries just so you can use it out of the box, it does not come with the rechargeable battery pack.

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.
