    5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Fine and Durable Piece of Hardware
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The controller meets my expectations. It is far more durable than non-Microsoft XBOX S Controllers, as they have analog stick problems within a few months after purchase. The only thing buyers of these controllers must know is that they are delicate; they break easier than XBOX 360 Controllers, as wear and tear from using the analog sticks ruins their alignment, breaks the cables inside the power cord, and other kinds of problems. Other than that they are better than other XBOX controllers out there.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Controller Works, but...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    While the product works, I have a few issues with it. Number 1 being the fact that the controller is filthy, and pretty well worn. 2: it didnt include a breakaway cable, while I can easily get over it, it still kinda bothers me that i can not just use the controller right out of the box, and finally, the connector to the breakaway cable was bent, so I had to bend it back into shape before, I could even use it, however the controller works fine, and the wear isnt so bad, that its unusable.

    3.0 out of 5 stars My bad. Doesn't work on with my PC.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I was excited to get my controller but, then sad that I had purchased one that doesn't work on my PC. I had originally purchased it so I could use it on my PC and my son could use it on his Xbox 360. Unfornately this one only works on the original Xbox.
    I was then going to return it but, this seller DOES NOT pay for return shipment. That comes out of your own pocket. So, the fact that I got a good deal on it squashes the idea of returning it due to the fact that it cost more to ship it back.
    I was sad. But what are you going to do.
    I only gave them a 3 star rating because it was half my fault for not researching it enough. The other part was their fault for not making it extremely clear that it won't work on the newer system.

    After my frustrations with buying this controller at pawn shops and flea markets to only have them covered in dirt and barely working, I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this used controller! Very clean, great shipping packaging, and little to no wear and tear on the buttons or joysticks. Would highly reccomend this seller for anybody looking for quality products!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    First off don't let the picture fool you! These are not real Microsoft Xbox controllers. 2nd both are already broken, in fact 1 did not last even 2 minutes. As soon as my son pushed on the thumb sticks (sorry not sure what the correct term is) they dropped into the hole and he could not use them anymore because they are stuck down into the frame of the controller. The 2nd controller I bought lasted a little longer...about 4hours then the exact same thing happened to the thumb sticks on it. We have controllers for all their other game systems that work great. These controllers are cheaply made and definitely not worth the money. I wouldn't even pay 10 cents for them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Feel just like in the good old days !
    Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2024

    I ordered this controller twice, since the first seller (CB Media Canada) sent a controller with connectivity issue, weird left joystick, A button working half the time, the controller has been open in the past since the sticker behind the controller was missing…
    However, the second seller (Flipping Vintage) did delivered a wonderfully conserved controller. The cleanest I’ve seen since maybe 2006, no issue at all, everything working as intended, I just felt like I was a child again playing some good old games. The controller deserve a 5 star review IMO.
    Of course, it’s not a perfect controller, but if you grow with the Xbox, the nostalgia you’ll feel using original controllers is unmatched 💚

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, arrived on time : )
    Reviewed in Canada on January 18, 2022

    I ordered it over the holidays so I could play through Halo: CE with my younger sibling. Parts of it were oddly sticky when it arrived for some reason, but a quick wipe down fixed that. The right analogue stick had a tiny chunk missing, but nothing that would even remotely hinder usage. The buttons all feel and work perfect (the right amount of resistance to feel satisfying, but not enough that they become hard to press). The analogue sticks snap back into place without being left off-center or causing any alignment issues. Neither of the analogue sticks have any problems with drift that I can discern. The cord is in good condition.

    Overall, it's an original Xbox s controller. A solid, durable, responsive, comfortable controller.

    You COULD buy a cheaper knock-off, but those all seem to have issues like halving the cord length, or cheaper plastic. If you want a controller that will last, you can't do much better than this.
