Great price point

Extra programmable buttons

Extra-long cord

Nice matte feeling

Firm joy cons

Not as durable as official Xbox controllers

Sticks may become less responsive over time

Headphone jack may stop working after a year of use

Verdict

The PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox is a simple, inexpensive, and functional option for gamers. It has a nice matte feeling and firm joy cons, but its durability is a concern as it may start to drift mildly after a few months of use. The left and right sticks are not as responsive as an elite or regular Xbox controller, and the headphone jack may stop working after a year of use. However, it is a great option for those who want a wired controller with extra programmable buttons and an extra-long cord.

PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox One Review

While the direction pad is slightly smaller than the Xbox One gamepad's pad, it's still very responsive, and I had no problem making pixel-perfect jumps in the game..The PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller is simple, inexpensive, and very functional

Perfect at first but started having some issues

I really loved this controller at first, and honestly I still like it even after the issues started popping up. The soft-touch plastic case feels really nice to hold. It will show grease marks if you touch the controller with dirty hands, so keep that in mind. One of the main reasons someone would b...

REALLY wanted this to be the answer, and it was, for a SHORT time.

Anyone that uses a wireless controller, especially one that uses AA batteries, knows that utilizing the full functionality of the controller (LED's, full vibration, etc.) absolutely obliterates battery life. I thought that buying a wired controller was the solution, and for about 6 months, it was. T...

For super casual play

This is fine if you're very casually playing. Say a few times a week. I mean that lightly. I play maybe 5 days a week 4 hrs a night and the right trigger gets stuck terribly! I've only had it for two months. You get what you pay for I guess. Cool colors and design, got used to the “paddle” buttons i...

I like it and i want more

i like it cause i avoid r buttons, 2 extra buttons to, more thumbstick improved. audio looks cool but it doesnt just work perfect cause it doesnt automatically best setup in console and i feel like your drivers arent new enough and you really can't hear me but at least it recognizes headphones and y...

reasonable for to he price point...the left joystick drifts after normal use. for me about two months. Despite that got usage out of it before the problem occurred. the lower price compared to other sites...still makes it more reasonable than most corded controllers.

Not the best for gaming

This controller broke very fast, about a month after I got it the joysticks started drifting. Very unhappy and wish I could refund. Although the style is amazing the quality wasn't the best and didn't meet my standards

this controller is a good product acept for one thing

its a great product and i would reccomend it to anyone if the stich drift wanst so bad whenever im playing any game the drift on the sticks just makes the game almost unplayable so 3/5

Good overall controller, but falls short in online usage

The controller itself works very well, but the headset/3mm compatability is pretty bad, with any online chat coming through distorted for anyone you talk with during game play

Worked great for about 6 months and then buttons have slowly started sticking over time. Cleaned it and the problem is still there
