Review on Gamepad Microsoft Xbox One Controller, white by Agata Huas-Brodecka ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

I use a gamepad with a computer. Before that, there was a DualShock 4 v2 (also played on a PC), so I compare it with it. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, but so far my impressions are very positive. The controller from Microsoft feels better assembled. DS from the first days creaked and rattled when working with vibration, this is not the case. You also get used to asymmetrical sticks very quickly. Since 99% of the time the thumbs are on the left on the stick and on the right on the buttons, this configuration feels much more natural and comfortable. The triggers on the DS are perhaps better placed, but this is not critical. Another plus compared to the DS when used with a computer is that in most games on a PC, the layout of the gamepad buttons is derived from the XBox controller. That is, you don’t need to constantly convert A to X, Y to a triangle, etc. in your head. By and large, the only negative is a very bright white LED in the power button ("X"), which is not configured at all through the computer. In a dark room, it can noticeably hit in the eyes. In this regard, the DS was much better, since both the color of the backlight and the brightness were adjusted there, up to a complete shutdown.

Pros
  • - Well lies in a hand, does not creak and does not rattle. - Nice materials. - Subjectively, after DualShock, non-symmetrical sticks seem much more comfortable. - In addition to the branded battery (sold separately!) You can use regular or rechargeable batteries.
Cons
  • - A branded battery with a charging cable is sold separately (regular batteries are included). Perhaps this reduces the cost of the gamepad itself, but for normal use, you either need to pay extra for a branded battery, or stock up on batteries, or, for example, buy 2 sets of batteries and a charger to use them alternately. - Charging indicator only on the proprietary cable. - Bright white power button, which can be distracting when playing in the dark.
