Title: Works great on PCs just like it's predecessors!
Review: The âcoreâ controller is the latest iteration of the xbox controller and from a quick glance it can be difficult to spot a difference from the xbox one controller but there are some subtle ones.The core controller now sports a textile grip texture at the rear of the controller and at the top of the LT and RT triggers. I have never had an issue with slippage on my previous xbox one controller but the texture is a welcome addition and it is very subtle which didnât cause any discomfort in my hands. The Dpad now sports a similar look to the old 360 design but despite this it thankfully works like a regular Dpad and seems to be much more âclickyâ now. Itâs responsive and will work fine on platformers and similar style games though it would not be my first preference for fighting games. The only other addition I could spot is the share button which I understand is to capture games clips and screens. The analog sticks feel the same to me and the controller still requires double AA batteries although a battery pack can be purchased separately.Annoyingly, unlike my previous xbox controllers I was not able to get this working via Bluetooth on Ubuntu but connection through USB works with no issues so I just use it like that. I have tested it on a Windows 11 machine and the Bluetooth connection works as expected. Just make sure to select the section under Bluetooth devices that specifically mentions xbox controllers.The version I purchased was the electric volt that sports a two tone colour variant with a Kermit style green at the front and plain white at the back. Initially I thought that white would have quickly become dirty but after a few months of usage this was thankfully not the case. The grip texture strangely does not collect grime buildup which is much appreciated although I wonder what sorcery did they conjure to make this possible?Even if you are primarily a mouse and keyboard player itâs always handy to have a controller in the event you stumble across a game that demands it and I donât think you can go wrong with this controller which can be had for <50 dollars on sale. I think itâs a perfect pickup if you need a new controller or replacement BUT If you already have a working xbox one controller I donât think itâs worth spending money for this as an âupgradeâ unless of course you really need that share button functionality. Personally, I think the PS5 controller wins the competition this round with newer tech like haptic and audio feedback for games that support it and that support does seem to be growing but that controller is substantially more expensive. You canât go wrong with either but the core controller is in a much more affordable position particularly at sales prices.

Title: Legit, Clean and Perfect!
Review: The Electric Volt lime green really pops when you look at it! Haven't seen one this color before and to look at it on screen compared to in person? The images do not do it justice! The color is really vibrant!It came in the brand new Xbox packaging, Microsoft branding, setup manual and warranty/instructions manual and 2 Duracell alkaline batteries. Everything in the box is original and not copied from original. So, I say this controller is LEGIT!It has the USB-C charger port/data plug in the front. Nicely done! The underside of this controller has a textured grip to it which gives this controller much more comfortable feel compared to the older, smooth controllers. The sticks are snappy and precise and the buttons have a much stiffer feel to them as apposed to the older controllers as well.5 Stars and highly recommended!

Title: Awesome
Review: Great price for a genuine Xbox controller. Very cool design and everything works perfectly. Only concern is that Amazon shipped it in a very lightly padded envelope instead of a protective box. The retail box offers no protection and could have very easily gotten damaged.

Title: Works and is as advertised, but slightly confused.
Review: I didn't take pictures, because I didnt think much of it at first but I am a little confused. While everything works perfectly fine and has no issues, there were some confusing and random things for it being a new product. When i opened it, it looked like the box had been opened, repackaged (poorly) and than retaped back up. There was also some damage to the box. When i opened the box, the packaging looked like it was either out of order or reboxed improperly. The cabling wasn't coiled or anything it was randomly stuffed in the box, there was one random scratch on the controller (not very noticeable) and it was covered in dust and hair. That was the most confusing part of it being new, covered in dust and hair.
