" ... A good replacement for the standard xbox one controllers ... "
" ... The games today are taken incredibly serious. ... As such, the industry has led way to a sort of oxymoron, giving birth to the "professional gamer". ... These are high quality controllers. ... "
" ... I bought an official Microsoft wireless XB1 controller to replace my original that came with the console, and to my surprise the new official controllers feel cheap, creaky and flimsy. ... The size is more like a 360 gamepad, which I prefer to the large XB1 gamepad. ... "
" ... yes you can use it on PC/Xbox. ... "
" ... Very nice controller, I like it better than the regular Xbox One controllers. ... "
" ... The triggers are also range sensitive for 1/2 to full throttle during racing games. ... I would buy this over the cheaper made controllers. ... "
" ... I\m a PC gamer and need to get away from the keyboard and mouse and relax in a recliner while I play. ... "
" ... I do not have an xOne but this works perfectly with my gaming laptop and required NO setup (I'm assuming this is because xbox and windows are both microsoft products). ... "
