PDP Wired Ctrl for Xbox Series X - Electric Carbon

I needed an affordable controller for PC gaming. If you're looking at this review, it's because you're hoping to find a cheaper alternative to an xbox offical controller for either console or PC. Well, you might have just found it. It feels like a really good controller. It has that quality build pressence. It's weighty, thick, and doesn't feel like it'll snap if you squeeze it too hard. The buttons and triggers are strong and responsive. I've had no lag from input, and the joysticks are very accurate. This was svery important to me, as I had brought a very cheap controller before this, and it was just awful, especially in the joysticks. It even has a handy little button that let's you controller audio levels when a headset is connected. If the instruction manual doesn't ention it, look it up online, it's very useful. I've only got three complaints, and they're minor. Firstly, the joystick squeaks a little bit. It's probably from intense use, and it doesn't affect gameplay at all. It's just somethnig that's a tiny tiny bit anoying and a little bit hilarious at the same time. Secondly, the cable. This is a wired controller, and it's very generous in it's length. But it's a basic cable thatcan tangle easily if you don't store the controller away carefully. As a tip, don't tightly wrap the cable around the controller when not in use, you'll regret it (though the resulting mess is fixable!). Thirdly, and THIS IS IMPORTANT! You might find that when using a headset on an xbox, you'll generate massive feedback, and your friends will likely complain, as will your own ears. Simply unplug the controller from the console with the heafset still attached, plug it back in, and voila, no more horrible noise. I got this when the controller was discounted. And it's serving me well. If you need a nice controller that does everything a standard controller can, then I definitely recommend it.

No gd can't get 2 work

TLDR: it’s fine for what you pay but not great I bought this thinking it was the same as the controller I already have as it comes in the same colours and layout and is the same brand. It was also the same price. In reality it isn’t quite as good as I expected. It feels cheaper quality and is lighter weight. The fact that the wire is not attached is pointless as the controller does not work wirelessly, so I would have preferred it just be permanently attached. The rumble is also far worse than my other pdp controller, it’s weaker and yet louder and rattles which is quite immersion breaking. I appreciate, however, that this is a cheap price for a controller with reasonable quality buttons and triggers which is the most important part. The buttons are quite loud and clicky. I like this but if you prefer a quieter controller this is not for you.

Great budget controller for beginners.

This controller is really good value and works perfectly. Definitely worth the purchase and can handle abuse pretty well

I bought this product, expecting it to live up to the potential of its predecessor, however was disappointed at its durability. The quality has downgraded, with no scroll wheels on the back, the mute button doesn’t have that smooth feel and the LEDs aren’t as impressive. After using for a few months, it developed a fault where the left joystick would move sporadically when in a certain upwards position which, as any gamer will know, can be very problematic when moving around in almost any game. I contacted PDP themselves, expecting them to be helpful and reassuring, but was met with robotic instructions. My controller was (and still is) within its warranty - meaning that they should repair it for free, however after exchanging details back and forth explaining the problem, I was ignored. I messaged back about a month ago, and haven’t got a reply since. Whether this is because they don’t want to spend money fixing the controller that they guaranteed would work for another year, or they just think I am fooling around with them, this is completely unacceptable. Do not buy this product. It is made of cheap plastic, has unimpressive LEDs compared to the old ones, and, when it breaks (and it will) you will be ignored. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on such a product, unless you want to be borderline scammed and ignored by the company themselves.

Had it a month was a good pad to begin with but after a bit of use the thumbsicks became loose the triggers press themselves and the wire that connects it to the console has started to rupture at both ends. Would be good as a cheap 2nd controller that rarely gets used but not for one that gets used regularly. Fits my hands nicely the vibration is good no stick drift they just wobble about and have a bit of play.

Good wired controller. Lots of length on the wire, cool design. Good purchase.

Excelente producto

O controle é perfeito,super atendeu as expectativas.Super recomendo.

INTRODUZIONE Il controller PDP è meraviglioso! Posso dirlo con altri termini? Superlativo! Cablato (purtroppo e per fortuna), solido, bellissimo al tatto, bello alla vista, sembra l'originale... Si sente che sono entusiasta? PRIMO CONTATTO Questo controller è con me, e con la mia Xbox One da ormai lungo tempo. Abbiamo toccato quasi (o superato da poco) l'anno! Un anno insieme, e che bello! Che soddisfazioni! Il controller è in plastica, sia parte superiore che inferiore ed è cablato. Il cavo, lungo un paio di metri, è ben realizzato, ma non anti-groviglio! Il Joypad ha la dimensione, perfettamente identica, di quelli originali. Comodo da impugnare, e molto ben bilanciato. é in plastica liscia sotto, ruvida sopra (con una leggera texture piacevolissima al tatto). Il look "camo" è molto bello: non è troppo d'impatto, ma nella sua delicatezza si fa notare con discrezione. I colori sono molto belli, non brillanti, ma lucenti. Bottoni e levette sono ottimi: pressione richiesta analoga al controller originale, sofficità della plastica delle levette analoga a quelli Microsoft. Anche i grilletti sono piacevolissimi da utilizzare, forse hanno un lievissimo livello di resistenza minore rispetto all'ufficiale. La vibrazione è meno forte di quella del controller ufficiale di Microsoft, ma lo è anche in modo davvero poco meno intensa. IN USO Quando si gioca con questo controller (che ormai adopero quasi come principale) ci si abitua facilmente. E' comodo da impugnare, piacevole da toccare, non richiede di inserire batterie, né di ricaricarle... insomma: si inquina anche meno! Non c'è alcun reale difetto, né sostanziale differenza rispetto all'ufficiale. CONCLUSIONI Che dire... io sono felice di averlo comprato (scegliendolo seguendo l'intuito) e ne sono anche super soddisfatto. Mi piace sia esteticamente che da utilizzare... sotto ogni punto di vista. Promosso con voti pieni! Ed anche la lode!

The controller is responsive. The headphone port works flawlessly. I put my controllers through their paces. This brand is just as good as the licensed brand for XBOX One.
