The bluetooth pairing is excellent and fast. I use Windows and Android devices and the devices recognize the controller right away and immerse me immediately. There is no complicated set up. You just press and hold the pairing button on the top near the type-C port for 3 seconds and the on-light begins to blink fast. This is when the pairing request will pop up on your screen. Easy!
I bought this specifically to play games on Roblox and to play Among Us on my phone. Literal GAME CHANGER! 🎮
The handles are textured on the back and the grip is amazing. This is not a controller that's going to slip put of your hands despite it's weight (similar to the weight of a large smart phone, I'm talking Samsung s21 Ultra size here).
The whole controller is matte except for the bodies under the joysticks and the XYAB buttons. The LT and RT buttons have the grippy dot texture like the backs of the handles. So does the anterior surface of the LB and RB buttons.
The Xbox logo button lights up when you turn the controller on.

**Design and Comfort:**
The first thing you'll notice is how good this controller feels in your hands. Its ergonomic design ensures that even during those marathon gaming sessions, your hands won’t cramp up. The textured grip on the triggers, bumpers, and back case adds to this comfort, making it less likely that your hands will slip at a crucial moment.
**Performance:**
When it comes to performance, this controller really shines. The buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks are all highly responsive, giving you precise control over your game. The hybrid D-pad is a notable improvement, providing better accuracy and control. Plus, the low latency means your actions translate almost instantly on screen, which is crucial for those fast-paced games.
**Connectivity:**
Connecting this controller to various devices is a breeze. Whether you’re using it with an Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, Android, or iOS device, the Bluetooth compatibility makes pairing straightforward. Switching between devices is also easy, so you can go from console to PC to mobile without missing a beat. The 3.5mm audio jack is a nice touch, allowing you to plug in your headset for an immersive gaming experience.
**Battery Life:**
Battery life is often a concern with wireless controllers, but this one holds up well. It can last up to 40 hours on a single charge, which is more than enough for most gaming sessions. Plus, you have the option to use AA batteries or rechargeable battery packs, which adds a layer of convenience.
**Conclusion:**
In summary, the Xbox Core Wireless Gaming Controller in Carbon Black is a stellar choice for any gamer. Its versatility across multiple platforms, comfortable design, and responsive performance make it a must-have. Whether you’re playing on an Xbox, PC, or mobile device, this controller is sure to enhance your gaming experience.
Here's what I appreciate about it:
1. **Textured Grips and Triggers:** The Shock Blue controller features textured grips and triggers, which is fantastic. This is especially helpful for intense gaming sessions when sweaty palms can be a problem.
2. **Seamless Compatibility:** When connected to my PC running Windows, the controller was instantly recognized and worked flawlessly out of the box. Even better, when gaming on Linux, it required no additional configuration—the Linux Kernel already supports this controller.
3. **Comfort and Reach:** Despite being lighter and slightly smaller than the Xbox 360 controller, the Xbox Wireless controller fits well in my large hands. All buttons, triggers, joysticks, and the d-pad are within easy reach.
4. **Smooth Joysticks and Improved D-Pad:** The joysticks move smoothly, and the d-pad design strikes a balance between the circular pad of the 360 controller and the clickiness of the Xbox One's d-pad. Hitting diagonals is now more intuitive
5. **Battery Compartment:** The battery compartment now is flush with the rest of the back of the controller as opposed to sticking out like it did with the XBox 360 Wireless controller. This allows the controller to fit more comfortably in the hands without feeling the battery compartment sticking out or bumping into your fingers.
Overall, a great purchase. Highly recommend this controller for your gaming needs!
