AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the performance of the video game controller. Some mention that it works fine, performs well on their Windows laptop PC, and gets the job done. Others say that it doesn't play well with their wired Turtle Beach, the down D-Pad still does not work, the sticks and triggers will not activate, and the internal mechanism is absolute trash.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the video game controller. Some mention that the overall build quality is great, it does not feel cheap, and looks similar to the original Xbox One controller. The joysticks are surprisingly good and it's very secure. However, some customers say that it'll degrade over a few months and fail after a month.

- Ergonomics is just as good as the authentic XBOX wireless controller
- Joysticks are surprisingly good (Very confident playing shooters with it)
- The additional buttons are such a fantastic feature at this price point
* The face is very smooth, which makes it a little slippery
* The button clicking is a little mushy (Clicking the buttons on the original XBOX controller have a really responsive clicky feel, this is a bit softer in that feedback). It's not bad, you just need to get used to it.
Overall, it's really good value for what you get. Highly recommend!
Review:
I had a bad habit of breaking PS3 controllers when I was younger, so I never bought new ones. Eventually, I found the PowerA wired version, and they were BETTER than the original PS3 controllers, so I bought as many as I could find. I’ve been a PowerA customer since. I don’t know if I’d call the Xbox ones better: the buttons don’t feel as quality (however, the button pushed is always correct, unlike some other budget controllers) and the controller “body” is larger. The joysticks are much better than any other third-party controller I’ve tried, but not identical to Microsoft controllers. I had to increase the deadzone on my Warzone settings to limit jerking around the screen, but that “problem” indicates high-sensitivity (read “higher quality”) sticks versus other cheap controllers with already-wide (and non-adjustable) mechanical deadzones.
The buttons on the back make up for the larger frame, since you can assign them to LB and RB and not need to move your fingers. This is the only practical use I’ve found for them, though, as they don’t do well enough being held down to replace the paddles. It’s super easy to assign them, but they don’t feel all that sturdy. Regardless, still a very nice feature to have.
Overall, I highly recommend these controllers. I think they’re a fine replacement for Microsoft controllers but don’t necessarily supersede them; for roughly half the price, though, there’s no reason to buy Microsoft controllers unless you need wireless. Easily the best third-party controllers I’ve purchased for the Xbox One.
PS, they worked out of the box for me on my Windows 10 PC, no driver installation needed. I don’t use them for anything, just wanted to test them.

Por el precio, está muy bien. Siempre con los controles genéricos tienes la incertidumbre que no sea tan responsivo como el original, o que se sienta "sloppy" o "clunky", pero al menos en los juegos que lo he probado no ha sido mi caso (Rocket league, bloodstained, dark souls). La respuesta de control me es más satisfactoria que incluso cuando era nuevo mi control original. Además que los botones extras son un gran añadido, es algo que bien aprovechado te da mucha ventaja en ciertos juegos. (Puedes programar cualquier botón, lo cual está de lujo).
Claro, son primeras impresiones. Muchos dicen que sus controles no les duran, sobre todo con los genéricos. Pero también he conocido muchos gamers que chale, pobres controles, también como quieren que les dure si los tratan sin respeto y le presionan los botones irresponsablemente rudo. Así como les van a durar las cosas.
Otra cosa a recalcar son los materiales de construcción. Son buenos, no excelentes como el original, los joysticks no tienen una goma tan suave como el original, pero al menos se sienten que se sujetan mejor a tus pulgares. No se ve tan robusto y se siente más ligero que el original, no es inalámbrico, y traté de ponerle un cable micro usb más corto, pero no lo logré. De allí en fuera, considero que es un muy buen control si eres responsable con el control.
En fin, si no actualizo mi reseña, es que todo bien. Además tiene como garantía de dos años, aunque habrá que leer las letras pequeñas.
