Xbox Wireless Controller (2020) with USB-C Cable - Carbon Black

Box arrived with damage. Sold as new but the box had clearly been opened before: the cord was not in its original packaging.

It may not look like it's that much different from the Xbox one controller, but its a huge improvement on an already great PC controller. This Xbox controller is smaller, the D pad is redesigned, and it has a share button. The really big improvement is the latency of this controller is miles better than the original. Features Dynamic Latency Input (DLI) which helps reduce input lag. This controller also allows you to pair with more than one machine at a time. So you can use it on PC and Xbox without repairing it. Ive been using it wired on my PC. After switching to this Controller from the Xbox One Controller I averaged about 400-600 more damage a game.

Really nice quality, fits great in the hands, cool haptic feedback in the triggers in certain games. Really did change the experience coming from an old 360 controller. Only nit-pick is that this thing is hell-bent on waking my computer from sleep. If i leave it plugged in and put my pc to sleep, the pc will just wake up 10 minutes later. So I have to constantly go into device manager and uncheck the "allow this device to wake my computer" checkbox for the controller. which randomly re-checks itself. OFTEN. Really annoying. but uhhh yeah besides that, this thing is a worthy upgrade from a 360 controller if you're a lazy bones like me and still haven't upgraded

Before I start, this is only the third Xbox controller I've owned, so for those looking for a detailed comparison of the options out there this isn't a review for you. However, the build quality and feel of the controls on this controller in-game are a step above the third-party brand I used to have (PDP). The textured backing also feels great the in the hand. If using this controller on Win10, I would recommended downloading the Xbox accessories app from the Microsoft store--why this doesn't come bundled with the Game Bar in Win10, I have no idea--so you can keep the firmware up to date and set custom profiles.

The screen capture button in the middle is actually quite annoying. I find myself accidentally hitting it when i didn’t want to. It also wouldn’t work with my headset even after doing updates. The headset works with all of my other controllers, but the volume functions wouldn’t respond. I returned it, but there weren’t any in stock to be able to tell if it was the controller or their firmware that was the issue. These controllers are nothing special and really aren’t built to last. I bought an elite controller and had to return it twice. I even had the Best Buy service plan, but still had to keep buying the plan every time the controller died. I gave up after the second replacement.
