PDP Gaming Wired Controller: Crimson Red – Xbox One

-Cord is 8 feet, plenty long for me. Anything over 7 is acceptable. It's not wireless, keep that in mind. You don't want a wireless controller for your pc anyway, but for gaming on an xbone I can understand why you'd want a wireless controller. (Microsoft still can't get their wireless controllers to work well on their own pc OS. So just avoid that dream for now unless you're tech savvy. It's literally plug and play on PC. Steam works immediately with it.)- Buttons work great. If yours doesn't, send it back and order a new one. I guarantee it's just bad luck. The packaging is too nice for me to assume the company cares about quality, and mine came in mint condition. As for the analog sticks, they work perfectly. No deadzone, no areas of non responsiveness, not too large and not too small (although that's preference.) Tip: If your rubber starts to peel off, (mine has not) there are rubber covers you can buy for all your controllers! I'd recommend looking into those instead of getting an all new controller. I used them on my old xbox 360 sticks and they worked great. I literally just tried them on this controller and they also fit perfectly, which means if my rubber does wear off, meh, no big deal! Just fit them over these ones and they work just as great.-Fits well in my hands. Feels similar to the slim xbox 360 controllers I loved. The official xbone controllers are a bit bigger I believe. I prefer the size, honestly. But I'm just used to smaller controllers so it's more of a personal thing that I enjoy.- Plastic isn't that cheap, but you can tell its probably not going to survive long if you smash it a few dozen times. If you're a rager, take it out on something else. This controller probably won't survive your hate inspired rage from dying in dark souls.... But then again, it's only 17 bucks. You could buy almost three of them for the price of one official xbone controller. Which makes it a more economical device to rage on if you think about it.... :)Favorite part? My old 360 controllers which i used for PC gameplay exclusively would have the wires go bad.... It's hard to prevent wires bending naturally just from gravity. Sadly, this meant the entire controller was doomed unless i invested in repairing the wire (hardly economical. Not worth my time and not worth the money.) But this wire is removable, so you can just buy a new cord from gamestop for 7-9 bucks depending. So as long as you keep the controller itself running, feel free to treat the wire however you wish, since you can replace it easily. The wire isn't really that flimsy either. I saw some people claim it was, which scared me away from this (and I ultimately bought awful controllers off Amazon instead, before taking a stab at this one.) I don't know what sort of wires they're used to. These seem solid enough. If you want more strength, use the inside of a ball pen to strengthen it, or cover it in tape. There are ways to strengthen wire bends if you ever get one. But since you can detatch the wire from the controller, safe storage should be easier and ultimately preserve your wire longer. But again, the wires seem fine. Those reviews are some serious fake news ;)Highly recommended. After buying many other controllers and returning them, this one I won't be returning. And if it breaks I'll gladly buy it again. Why spend 50+ bucks when you can spend 19 including tax? Plus the color is really cool :) feels great to game with it. If my review leads you to purchase this controller, I hope yours comes in the same beautiful condition that mine did. I'm not easy to please either, I've returned two controllers in the last month. This one impressed me. Best to you all.

Imagine you made the switch to PC gaming 2 years ago. Before that you were a hard-core Xbox and Playstation gamer. Had the best controllers. Then the virus comes. You reach for your trusty Playstation controller. Dead and won't take a charge. Your 4 Xbox elite controllers can't even make one functional controller. No problem I'll jump on Amazon and get one in a day or 2. Holy cow batman nothing wireless is available. Who in the world wants wires....wait a minute...everything I have thats wired is still working. Let's look up this company I have never heard of. Yup bad reviews and a few good ones. Well it's cheap and I need one let's do it. Fast forward a week. I get some time and plug this red beauty it. She purrs and glows a beautiful red. Well it turns on I guess. Here's the truth. It's a bit rough but I squeeze and push the joysticks to theimit when I play so nothing usually lasts. I doubt this will. So far everything is still in tack and responsive. For the price I'll probably get another if and when this one breaks if I can't just fix it.

I love this controller! It works great, the cord is more than long enough, and it's my favorite color. The only complaint I have is that headsets do not work well with this controller. I have tried different ones (that work perfectly themselves on other controllers) and while I can hear the people I'm playing with, they get tons of static from me. But when I'm playing without a headset, as I do most of the time, it's just right.

I see some 4-5 stars stating it works so well. No it doesn't it came in feeling cheap and incredibly light. The buttons and triggers as well as the joysticks felt cheap and I was right to feel that way about them. I've not even had this product a whole month and already the right trigger broke it's not like I go extreme on a controller either. It was used daily but this doesn't mean I was constantly spamming the right trigger every day to cause it to break. I did open it up to see what caused it to break so easy and most of the internal components that make up the triggers and joysticks are cheap flimsy plastic. The piece that broke on the right trigger snapped because the plastic part to it somehow wore easily and just snapped and the spring that became detached from that spot couldn't be fixed because of this. Keep in mind I've had this controller about 4 weeks not even a whole month and it's already unusable. I got it when it was on sale and don't recommend it for even a temporary controller it's all around incredibly cheap and not worth the buy.

Great for the price, but constant use on a thin plastic caused my right trigger to break.

My Xbox stopped pairing the wireless controllers for some reason. I was skeptical on this wonder controller. I liked the color. When It came I plugged it in and was very surprised. I never have any issues with it. I like the fact you can remap buttons if you want and can control the volume via a hot key. I do however have a problem with my headset. I do not believe it is the controller. Sometimes other people hear bad feedback on their end. All I do is unplug the USB from the controller, plug it back in and it is fine. This I can totally deal with. It is nice the app for the Xbox has a bunch of areas you can tweak as well. I will be buying another of these to have on hand as well. Awesome wired controller.

I love thos controller! I have had it for a long time and even after dropping it many times (now has a piece of plastic that broke on the inside you can hear when you shake it lol) it still works like a charm! If it ever breaks (which I almost feel like it won't) im for sure repurchasing it!!

I bought this to use on my PC for gaming, instead of using my battery controllers. I find they are very responsive, doesn't feel as heavy or(well made) as an xbox box controller, but they work great. Bought a blue one for my xbox for the kid to use(going through batteries like crazy). He mashes buttons and the sticks like crazy, to the point i can hear him doing that over my headset. lol They are holding up to it. Would recommend, and would buy again.

I can't recommend this enough, it's a great option to have if you don't have the money to spare for the official xbox controller.

very good the usb cable is very secure connected to controller

Pretty good replacement. Much more affordable than original one. A few quirks that dont really affect it, but are noticable. Such as holing down Xbox button doesn't vibrate like original. If you turn on the Xbox at the console it often doesn't turn on the controller, even though it's plugged in. One tap and its on so not a huge deal.

I really like the controller, it's smooth movements and compact size is plus point.
