Review on Experience Gaming at Its Best with Xbox Core Wireless Controller in Shocking Blue by Goro Sekiguchi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

Having used the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers before this one, I am very familiar with its layout and feel that it is superior to that of the Nintendo DS controller in many ways. Just to clear things up, I don't own an Xbox; instead, I play PC games using a gamepad. It's wonderful to see improvements have been made despite the fact that there are just minor changes from the previous generation of controllers: The coating on the triggers and on the back (lower?) parts of the controller was modified - "dots" were added, so that the grip of the hands with the gamepad is now much better, and this is notably felt when the hands begin to sweat. It's great that there are no longer any roadblocks to using Bluetooth to link your PC and other gadgets (phones and tablets). With the Buro BU-BT40A external adapter that came with the PC, I was able to stay connected from a distance of several meters. - Since there are virtually no advantages, let's discuss the drawbacks. After hundreds of hours of play, the left stick on both of the existing controllers has begun to look worn. In addition, as I've already mentioned, it's frustrating that there isn't any kind of warning displayed once the battery life is about to end. - I had a pressing concern: can I use two Xbox controllers on one PC over Bluetooth, or do I need an adaptor for that? Tambourines and occasionally is the answer. When I try to use two gamepads at once, one of them almost always refuses to connect to the computer after the button assignment fails. As a result, I caved and spent $1,300 on this adapter. In conclusion, I think it's a good investment, particularly if you're looking for your first gamepad.

Pros
  • The following are some of the device's best features: *Sexy design * Ergonomics * Tactile sensations from materials * Build quality * Type-C port * Bluetooth connectivity to a PC (Win10) via a standard BT adapter (and not a special adapter from Mike for 1-1.5k)
Cons
  • * Active gaming can cause sticks to wear out quickly; * I'd like a warning (sound or vibration) when my battery is getting low. Pricey but acceptable (IMHO)
