Review on Amazon Basics Xbox One Wired Controller - Improved Version 2, 9.8ft USB Cable - Black by Greg Peitz

I bought this controller to replace my 3 year old Xbox One controller. I was considering buying an official MS controller but saw this wired version was coming close so I decided to give it a try as Revain have an amazing return policy if it doesn't work as advertised. The only thing that annoyed me about my old controller was that sometimes I have to plug it in to charge, so I went with this one as it has a long USB cable and I don't mind a cable. Yes, I could buy a charging station, but I didn't want to spend money on minor inconveniences. Anyway, fast forward to that controller. I immediately noticed a difference in feel and weight. The controller felt a bit wider, but in some ways thinner yet more durable than the original controller. The buttons were newer, as were the analog sticks, so they were very precise and responsive. I mostly play FPS on Xbox so I ran Infinite Warfare and some Black Ops 3. Yes, I haven't bought the latest COD yet because I'm tired of always trying the latest games. The controller worked well in both games, but I noticed that the vibration function sometimes didn't work. The problem is that I anticipate the rumble, so I'm used to setting the scope for it. Sometimes my shots were a bit off because I either expected it or thought it wouldn't vibrate. In any case, the vibration function did not always work. I connected it to my Win 10 machine and all the drivers installed successfully without any problems. I thought that maybe the controller on the computer would be different, but the vibration function turned out to be incompatible again. He comes and goes as he pleases, defeating my intention again. All in all the controller is great. It feels good in your hands and I love the textured grips. I took off 2 stars because the vibrate function wasn't working properly and I think this must have been something that could have been prevented. Bottom line: get it as a replacement controller for your Xbox or PC if you don't care about the vibration motor.
