PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Wired Video Game Controller, Gamepad for Xbox X and S, Officially Licenced by Xbox, 2 Years Manufacturer Warranty- Black

I got this for my niece and her Xbox Series S. It works perfectly and looks great. Her original Xbox Controller was in a bad way after only a few months and borderline unusable after a year, with stick drift and only working while wired in a particular way (I’m not sure how she managed it). 10 months after getting this and it’s still working perfectly!

Controller works great and the LEDs are a great touch to any set up , I do wish the LEDs were better quality but overall good performance and quality for the price

Bought this to use for Xbox and PC gaming. First off, the lights are awesome, you can customise which colours you would like (Green & Blue, Pink & Green and so on) which look really cool. The wired connection that it comes with seems solid and works OK but after a while I found that the controller keeps shorting out and decides to stop working and I'd have to unplug and plug it back in again. My partner has bought the purple one of this which has no lights and after some use it has started to develop stick drift which is not fun. Overall it's a good controller for the price.

Only had it a weak but I also only had the xbox 1 controller a week before I sent it back, this PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired Controller I'll be keeping. It;s a FAR superior experience.And here's why : the official Microsoft XBox 1 controller bought for pc gaming, also required me to buy an additional Bluetooth 5.0 adaptor & rechargeable batteries. A total of £78!! But it felt well built, pity it didnt work as well.Multiple failed key presses or key presses resulting to infinity presses or stick movement would literally "stick" and continually rotate the characters view or have them walk without anything pressed - you might say "low battery" - I had rechargeables that I swapped the moment the 1st pair were fully charged (luckily I already owned 2 excellent expensive chargers else that would have brought the price up beyond the Elite controllers price) Anyway this is a review about the "PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired Controller" (with a warning not to but the microsoft wireless controller - i'm sure they work fine with xboxes? BUT if you need a controller for Elden Ring, buy this!, the 10 foot wire insures no need for extensions, the lighting is actually useful, the additional 2 underside remappable buttons are no gimmick, really useful !! great for remapping the stich/hat presses instead (had the 4 button powerA version had leds I would consider buying that but the leds maych my corsair k95, mousepad, pc, leds strips & scimitar mouse all flashing away like l.sd. with out the 8 hours of come down.powerA make very good controllers. my last cheap powerA I bought 8 years ago for £10 still works perfectly but it has a smooth plastic shell so longer gaming sessions are uncomfortable with no grippy surfaces, (I only found out it was made by powerA after buying thisd controller... i'll be buying from these guys again)TL;DR BUY THIS instead of official xbox controller for PC Gaming - its far superior. end of.

EDIT: Aug 2022.Not had this long and stick drift on both sticks has rapidly become so bad it's becoming unusable now. Sadly not great, I'm going to have to see if I can return it as it's way less than a year old.Original review, Mar 2022:"Well, this does exactly what it's described to do... a wired controller with the ability to duplicate two of its buttons to the ones underneath... Exactly what I needed as I've associated the A button (jump) with one, and X (reload and use) with the other. Now I don't have to move my thumbs when in the thick of the fight.Loving the customisable LED lighting too, it adds a super cool finish to it.In game it feels solid and works really well. The response is as good as any controller I've used and I have to be modest and admit that my kill/death rate has actually measurably improved simply because of the custom button function as I described above. Spot on in that respect. I'm no pro gamer but this has certainly helped me improve!I've also found the trigger switches to be pretty cool too. They have three positions which are; standard triggers as per normal Xbox controllers, medium hair trigger setting and very quick hair trigger which is basically a fast acting switch. I leave it on the fastest setting for shooters and I find I can rapid fire pistols much quicker with it! I have to set them to normal for games like Minecraft though as I don't think the game recognises them otherwise. It's a really cool addition to this controller and again it's improved shooting time in first person shooters and the like.As it says, this will work on Xbox or PC via USB cable, and it does work well on PC. I've tried a few controllers on PC and prefer the Xbox style layout as firstly I'm used to it, but I find it rather efficiently laid out too. In short it works!One time it did glitch out though. It stopped responding and left me running sideways in a game as though it had locked up in the software? I unplugged to reset it and when plugged back in it defaulted back to factory settings, so I had to rebind the buttons and reset the LED colours. Not a major problem as it's easy peasy to do, but a pain when it cost me the game in the first place!It's only happened once, and I can only hope it doesn't do it again, but given the amount of use it's had since I bought it I've kind of forgotten it did that! It's been well used since then believe me!Overall a good controller, and thus far I've not encountered any issues (other than the one off glitch I mentioned above) and believe me it's had a thrashing! Does exactly what I needed it for."
