Reddit mentions of PowerA Wired Controller for Xbox One - Black

Yeah, its third party, not by Nintendo.

"PowerA" branded.

This Xbox controller is the exact same design.

GameStop has similar prices if op doesn’t have prime.

xbone controller works fine with a pc. need to either:

1. get a wired one
   
   or
   
   
2. get a wireless one and the wireless usb connector. both are 20-30 usd on amazon

I was going to offer selling this controller, but I realized you'd be better off buying it on Amazon really.

This one is considerably smaller than the standard xbone controller and works amazing. Best 3rd party controller i ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J36HGC6/ref=zg_bs_6469279011_16?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4T7FJPHKTKR4TE4FP6JX

I use this one from PowerA.

Quality wise I am satisfied. Sure it doesn't feel quite as good as an official one but it is fine. The sticks feel good. The triggers do have a cheap feel, for the price I don't notice.

Compatibility will be a hit or miss I think. Mostly it just works and is recognized as an Xbox pad. Steam works. It is all about the device IDs. If you can find a way to edit the reported USB device ID to the offical pad it would function exactly the same way.

I don't know about with emulators. I have had just one game not recognize the controller and that is Dirt Rally. The fix is to add my pads ID to the inputconfiguration.json in the game files. Surely other games would have this issue but not many.

I was planning on wireless, but it looks like a company named PowerA makes officially licensed wired controllers

I think it is just a rebrand of the Power A Xbox One controller. They look exactly the same. See here for the Power A: https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Controller-Xbox-One-Black/dp/B01J36HGC6/

From what I have read, for $25-30 it is a pretty good controller. Obviously won't be as good or solidly built as the official controller, but still decent enough.

Had this for a year. The quality is superb and the shoulders still click like day one to this day, and I'm pretty heavy on how I use it because I play Devil May Cry 4 religiously. Highly recommend it bud.
