8Bitdo Pro 2 Wired Controller for Xbox, Hall Effect Joystick Update, 3.5mm Audio Jack, Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 - Officially Licensed (Black)

I love this controller! Hall effect analogue sticks add an extra level of precision, all of the buttons, D-pad and back buttons all feel premium quality. To note that if you are using more than one USB extension cable linked together to connect the controller to your Xbox, the pad may not connect. This may be due to power usage of the controller, though it works fine normally, both with the included USB-C cable, and also worked fine with a longer cheaper USB-C I bought separately. It also seems to work fine through the Brook Wingman adapters if you want to use with other consoles, I’ve got it connected through a Brook Wingman XE2 to a PS3 and it works flawlessly (including back buttons), a huge upgrade where I can really appreciate the difference in precision when playing ‘Dead Space 2’ for example. The icing on the cake is that you get a free month of Game Pass included in the box, so it’s an added incentive to buy new rather than second hand.

Hall effect analogue sticks, a symmetrical set up(not the stupid wonky style of normal xbox controllers which gives me tendonitus in my left arm). Excatly what I wanted and works perfectly. Why they haven't made a wireless version of this controller I don't know because its great and way better than the original xbox controllers. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Modern supper Nintendo controller for Xbox.Only way this could be better is if it were wireless

I love this pad so far only been using it a day. Having issues finding the smaller buttons in the dark but got to get used to the lay out yet.

I actually bought this and didn't realise that it wasn't hard wired. I tend to avoid usb connections as over time they get loose and lose connectivity. That said, the connection on this controller is in a recess. A clever bit of design that helps keep the cable from causing wear and tear on the connection. It's actually baffling you don't get this design on official controllers.

I've always owned a PS and PS5 is my main console but last year I bought my first ever Xbox to play some exclusives but I could never get used to the controller and my hands actually feel uncomfortable and hurt when playing for abit and after using the original controller a few times annoyingly it got bad stick drift so decided to look for a controller with PS layout as replacement and surprisingly there’s not many but after discovering this controller it’s perfect it is wired and the wire it comes with is fairly long, it feels great when playing, it’s pretty cheap and most importantly it’s comfortable when playing.

Controller makes the audio terribleCustomer services are terrible as well waste of money just brought a gamesir one 100% better

Not great overall. The analog sticks feel heavy and a bit slippery, which makes precise movements harder. There are noticeable dead zones, and precision can be hit-or-miss depending on the game. The rear buttons don’t work natively and require extra software to remap, which adds unnecessary hassle. For players looking for a plug-and-play experience, this may be disappointing.
