Staring into the sun

Takes 6 pieces of painter tape to darken the LED so you don’t have to wear sunglasses while you play.Two of the main features I use on this controller are (1) voice and (2) rapid trigger buttons. Paired with the razer headphones this controller is a must have for xbox: The voice and background cancellation are superior to all other headset/controller combos. Did I mention this is my 13th controller (four of my controllers are the Microsoft Xbox Elite)?Highly recommend this if you are using a wired controller because it has significantly less lag for me, I had to relearn some button combo timings it was such a big improvement.Purchased this in November 2021, played 30% thru Cyberpunk 2077 and about 75 hours of Overwatch and the A button JUST DIED in the middle of a game.Because the A button broke I now have no silver bullet controller but this is my favorite so far.Literally everything else about this met or exceeded my expectations so I’m ordering another one. My Microsoft controllers (I have 4 elites and 8 non-elite) all have broken bumpers and/or drift but I have learned to be more gentle with the sticks.If you think your Razer button is broken, check if it doesn’t make the clicky sound when you press it. It had no warning or other indication it isn’t working.

Bad Design When Turned On.

The look and feel of the controller is amazing… when its off. The LED when it turns on is so insanely bright I feel like I’m looking at the sun whenever I so much as glance at the controller. If I’m playing in the dark, it lights up the entire room. There is no way to turn off the light. I would return it but… it is otherwise a really good quality controller so its smarter just to buy some tape and cover up the light. This would be a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the high beams.

Not built to last.

The controller functions well, I never had a problem in that regard over the last two years I’ve had it. My main gripe is the textured handgrips have yellowed. Having this sort of discoloration happen in only two years in a non-smoking household is absolutely insane. Also, I have barely used the controller I wouldn’t be surprised if my usage of it was less than 24 total hours. This is just another overpriced low quality razer product. There are better alternatives available for the same price or less.

5 stars for quality- 1 star for design

Well to start off positive, this controllers quality in the couple days i’ve had it has been top notch, zero faults there. BUT!This controller suffers from the same issues i have with the standard xbox one design (and is probably the same reason everyone generally prefers the 360 controller), which is the joysticks and triggers. THEY ABSOLUTELY SUCK in comparison to the originally 360 controller design for just about every game i play. The key issues is spring pressure and feedback. Just like the original xbox one controllers the triggers have absolutely no resistance which make it difficult to modulate pressure and return. The joysticks on the other hand suffer from too much lever action, the sticks feel longer and fall over way too quickly from its fixed position, which sucks because the initial pressure to get it moving is stiffer than at the extremities of its travel. This is just not good for anything. I use to get away with running at a high level with racing games with the 360 controllers, now its nearly impossible. Modulating brake pressure, acceleration, and turning is snappy and hard to control with this controller. In shooting games it is hard to keep the linear motion accurate thanks to the poor joystick feel.The pro’s compared to the 360 controllers is everything that isn’t primary. The grips generally feel much better although slightly shorter which i dont really care for. The primary buttons and d-pad have much more feel and positive clicks. Outside of this, nothing about this xbox one design is better.As such i don’t recommend this unless you specifically prefer the xbox one controller over the 360 (WHICH I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT). I might be showing my age here, but what worked for me 10+ years ago, works just fine for me now, these changes don’t help me at all. I hope Razer makes a xbox 360 design compared to this One design. There is a reason there are more replica 360 controllers on the market than these. THEY ARE BETTER.I’d easily give this a 2-stars if there was any quality problems to note. But Luckily Razer designed a high quality…bad product. I think they refer to this as “polished doodoo”.

Great controller

Very good mechanical buttons, hi quality finish with rubberized grips. Clicky mechanical buttons sound great and feel good. Control performs very well, better than OEM Xbox controller. No battery needed as it’s wired. Easy to connect using USB. Would be best controller is it was wireless.

Feels GREAT in hand!

I used a cheap XBOX 360 controller with my pc before this. It sucked.This thing is amazing. RAZER used some kind of special switches for the ABXY buttons, and they’re great. The hair-trigger switches are great. The Joysticks feel robust and are nice to click. There are even two extra programmable buttons on top.A little pricey, but I 100% support getting one of these (RGB is a waste because it’s covered by your hands. Get the non-RGB model and save some money). My only issue is how BRIGHT the status light is on the front. It’s so bright it’s distracting, but I covered it with a sliver of black electrical tape. Not an elegant solution, but I don’t care.

Pretty good, a couple annoyances

I will be comparing this directly with a standard wireless xbox one controller, as that’s what I have used, I cannot compare this controller to a xbox series controller which is likely an improvement over an xbox one controller.First, I specifically wanted a wired controller to play elden ring on some time off from work I had, I had already put in about 16 hours using the wireless xbox one controller. The good is that this controller is more comfortable to hold in my large-ish hands, and the menu buttons are placed in locations that are easier to reach without having to move your hand placement. Second, the buttons have a very different feel, but this isn’t a bad thing as my xbox one controller the A and X buttons were very mushy and the Y button was sticking down for some reason despite the fact I’ve used the controller very little considering how long I’ve had it. These buttons are more tactile and spring back much nicer, personally I think the buttons* are a big improvement. Also while the white controller was more expensive at time of purchase(black was on sale for 79.99) the white looks good, and matches my white pc build. One note that’s not really good or bad is that this controller still uses the breakaway connector like what was on the original xbox and the xbox 360, good for not yanking your pc/console if you accidentally tug it, but also may pop loose on you during gameplay if you have the cable routed tautly.Now there are two things that annoy me, and a third which is more specific to what game you’re playing and if you’ve been playing it with a different controller. The first annoyance is that the additional M1 / M2 buttons located on the shoulders have pre-bound mapping, should be blank by default and allow the consumer to map them to what they want should they want to at all. They’re in a convenient location if you plan to use them, or annoying if you didn’t mean to press them and suddenly you’re accidentally chugging healing potions you didn’t need in the middle of a fight, which happened to me many times before I figured out how to unbind them. The second annoyance is that despite this being a razer product and virtually all other razer products being controlled by the synapse app, this controller, and presumably the elite version with even more extra buttons require a windows store app to remap the buttons, this feels silly and combined with the fact that the extra buttons are pre-bound and in a location where you may hit them on accident makes for a real annoyance. Lastly the more use-case oriented annoyance is the triggers, while the buttons feel better all around, the triggers have a reduced actuation point making them “faster” responding, and the controller has little locks to block off the full trigger travel distance turning them more into buttons rather than triggers. This difference in actuation timing takes a lot of getting used to in games where there’s time sensitive button presses on the triggers. Such as parrying in elden ring, even after an additional ~40 hours with this controller I’m still having trouble getting the timing down after the first ~16 hours with a different controller. But if you’re not switching to this controller partway into a game, or you’re just more adaptable to things like that, you’ll probably be fine. I do not know for sure if the changes to the triggers affect the analog-like pressure sensitive features found on the standard xbox one controller which is good for games with driving.The last thing I’ll mention is the indicator light is bright, too bright. So was the logo on the xbox one controller but this one seems to catch me in the eyes more often, if by chance somebody working with Razer sees this review, it would be great if the controller app had a brightness/dimming setting.

Controller is ok

This is my second 3rd party controller……Items list price is 99.95 and I caught a sale at 59.95.So the controller came well packed and 1st impression when taking it out of the box it had a bitof weight to it….almost like it had a battery pack…..it felt good.I have now been playing with the controller for over 50 hours and no issues…..it did take a little bitgetting used to but now its just fine.Overall its a great controller and I give a solid 4 star at the 59.00 price…….I would not recommendthis controller at 100.00 as there are to many other controllers out there with a better bang for your buck.

De lo mejor para pc

Es un estupendo control para PC. El mejor en su gama de precios no tiene competencia. Los materiales se sentó en de muy buena calidad!Lo único malo, ya dos años con el es que se desgasto un poco el grip del joystick pero eso ya es por bastante uso, aunque lo malo es que es difícil de realizar.Todo lo demás super!

Fantastic

First impression-wise, this controller is amazing. (First impression is about 10 hours of gameplay on it so far. Will update in a few months to see how it holds up.)Pros: Feels comfortable and weighty. The material feels great, no cheapness to the grips, casing, or buttons. And speaking of the buttons, oh man I don’t think I can go back to squishy membrane buttons again. The tactile feedback of the clickity buttons is superb.Cons: The one main con is mentioned in plenty of other reviews. You can see above for some videos of this, but it does this strange thing if you’re holding down the bumpers and then press the triggers (only when the triggers are unlocked from the smaller range of motion). The kind of lock up against each other. You have to be pressing on the bumpers on a downward angle and you gotta have a deathgrip on the thing. It’s really not an issue for me in particular, but it is worth mentioning: mileage may vary. The rest of the cons are less “cons” and more adjustments. The shape is a bit different from the cheap controllers I’ve been using , and it took a minute to get used to the ergonomics of it. But as soon as I did, it was totally worth it.Overall, this controller is great. It’s my new daily driver, and I will be picking up a second one as a backup/luxurious player two.Good stuff!

Review after approximately 850 hours of use…

This controller rocks. Easily my favorite controller I’ve ever had, especially for the connectivity between headset and controller if you’re like me and connect your wired headset to your controller. Sound quality for headset connected into the controller easily surpasses that of most controllers. Buttons and the d-pad feel incredibly reactive, great to smash and incredibly satisfying. Feels great to hold in my hands and fits nicely. The option to take a screenshot is great but that something most controllers come with now, so that’s expected. The only qualm I have with it is that sometimes if I smash the right bumper the wrong way (happens a lot when I play lifeweaver on overwatch and I try to lifegrip someone…) the select button will get pressed and it will pause my game? Very strange. It hasn’t gotten me into any trouble in the game but it’s something I’ve never experienced with another controller.After around 850 hours of use, the left joystick has been worn down to a sad nub, and now that it sticks and sometimes doesn’t completely go forward immediately. The right joystick is totally fine. Overall, this controller is still usable by all means and the buttons all work fine still despite this. I will consider buying another one of these again. It’s definitely a good deal for the price point.

Great controller

This is my second of these. The first one being subjected to my 13 YO son and all the nastiness that comes with that. Still working perfect, so I got one for myself. Super strong build, very responsive controls and buttons and the vibrations is very noticeable. Quality controller and great for the price.

The unit seems to be just a little small?

Compared to my original Xbox controller it’s hits my little finger on my left hand for some reason? Only thing I can think of it’s build a tad smaller than the original unit? It is padded way better than the original unit and feels great when I adjust the way I hold the controller. It’s way quicker and the short throw changers for the sight and trigger are great!! If you have large hands you might have to adjust how you hold the unit.

Met my expectations

does what you would want for a 100 dollar controller. Buttons feel really nice and responsive. I love the trigger stops as well.

Honestly just one of the most official third party controllers out there

These controllers are great giving the feel of a basic xbox controller with extra features a pro series controller without all the cludder. it comes with 2 extra to buttons lockable triggers and has the best dpad im really tired of webbed dpads. this controller is the only one in the razer series that does this please razer the tactile feel of the buttons is enough just give me a regular dpad and ill by your new chroma nonsense you have proven you can make the best controller do it again but this time make it so i can replace the cable

Good at first, disappointing overall

I’ve been pretty happy with this controller overall, but it seems to start doing multiple taps on a single tap/ just overall being too sensitive on buttons. I bought the controller in November, and I started noticing a minor issue with the button click of one of the joysticks triggering when I would just be trying to steer. I tend to play a lot of Rocket league and I’ve noticed some occasional quirkiness when I play Rumble and my special abilities trigger when I don’t want them to. As of today, I’ve also been noticing that when I try to move between selections in the Xbox menu, the selection will move two steps up or down instead of 1 step at a time. Again, overall I’ve been very happy with the controller, but it’s saddening me that I’m having these problems within less than half a year’s time. Otherwise it’s been one of the best ones I’ve owned (tied with the turtle beach one I used to use, tho I like the audio option buttons on the turtle beach a bit more than I like the performance of the razer).Razer has failed me again… I was disappointed with the durability on a mouse of theirs as well as a keyboard. Not sure why this brand is so popular aside from it being over advertised and offering some extra lights and a buttons.

Great controller!

Great all around controller. I especially like the clicky buttons, responsiveness and comfort in hands. Will get a backup eventually

Not great for Final Fantasy XIV

If you’re looking to use this controller for FFXIV or any other game that has you frequently using the “back” (select) button look elsewhere. The start and back buttons being placed behind the sticks mean you have to annoyingly reach over them to hit the buttons. I have big hands and even I find this awkward and uncomfortable.

Great Controller with no real issues!

I purchased this controller back in april when it’s now end of july. I’ve used it on FPS games, racing games, rpgs, and everything in between. I’ve never had any stick drift or generally issues with buttons not working. I have had one issue on games like BF 2042 where I’ll be holding down the right trigger to shoot a weapon for an extended time, and the input will like drop and my shooting stops. I did switch the trigger lock to be pressed out for shorter presses, and doing this seemed to fix that problem. Other than that and the fact that could just be a defect in my device, I’d say it’s worth 5 stars defo. FYI you cannot control the RBG colors in the light bar under the top XBOX logo. It just flashes rainbow colors across the entire thing in a motion and looks cool, but that’s what you get.

great controller

the controller has a nice weight to it feels like is made with quality materials, was plug and play didn’t require any set up. The vibration is pretty strong, so you have plenty of feedback. fits fairly well in larger hands maybe slightly small but not terrible (i am 6’6″ for size reference) the controller also has a nice textured feeling so you don’t feel like it will slip from your hands even if you have palm sweat from a long session. cable is thick rubber that seems a good quality it doesn’t have a braided cord if that’s what you’re looking for. The packaging is also very nice everything is securely packaged in the box and cables come with a rubber tie attached to keep everything tidy when not in use. overall, very happy with the product maybe a little high on the price but with the quality it seems justified after using it for a few weeks.
