Review on Highly Compatible Microsoft Xbox One ๐ŸŽฎ Controller with Dedicated Cable for Seamless Windows Gaming by Michelle Spencer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Endless problems on PC

Trigger Vibration (aka Pulse Trigger) does not work at all on windows outside the walled garden of the UWP storefront. Trigger vibration in Steam games does NOT work. Believe it or not, this is an intentional design feature to encourage you to buy games on Xbox and UWP. You can still get the main left and right vibration motors to work, but they're a lot weaker than the 360. You can feel it right away on the 360 too, while the delay on the Xbox One controller is around half a second. exactly the same game. This is because the pulse triggers should provide instant feedback, while the bottom two motors provide ambient vibration. All you get is the vibration of the environment with no significant vibrations. I checked, apparently they haven't even added trigger vibrations to the Xinput API, so developers can't even add them to their games even if they want to. Great job M$, you really outdid yourself this time. Also, getting this controller to work on Windows 7 was almost impossible. It took about an hour for my wired connection to work and another four hours for my wireless connection to work. . To me it's complete madness, holy smoking, M$, pull yourself together. It worked much better on Windows 10, the wired version worked right out of the box and the wireless version only lasted about 15 minutes back then (but I knew I was doing it the second time, so your mileage may vary). The wireless adapter randomly stops syncing with the controller in Windows 10. I do not know why. I start my computer as usual and for some reason it just forgot its previous pairing. Quick resync and it works again. On the other hand, the cross is much better this time. So something.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Keeping me calm
