Good deal: Microsoft Xbox Series X/S Wireless Controller Carbon Black “5 stars” at € 54.99

Introduced with Xbox Series X/S, the new Xbox controller looks like the Xbox One controller. Behind the saying “why change a formula that works?”, discreet and very well received improvements that we were able to evaluate…

In the absence of a major technological evolution during the transition to the Xbox Series generation, the Xbox controller remains the excellent game controller that we have enjoyed for years on Xbox One and PC. Although quite timid, the developments made by Microsoft further improve comfort and precision, enough to make this new Xbox series controller a benchmark in this field. However, we remain unsatisfied with the built-in vibration technologies, which would have benefited from catching up with those used by Nintendo and Sony in their respective official controllers.

Strengths

• Secure and comfortable grip.
• Accessible and precise controls.
• Good manufacturing quality.
• Precise and comfortable directional pad.
• Reduced latency on Xbox Series X/S.
• Triple connectivity: radio, Bluetooth and USB-C.

Weak points

• Battery and cable not included (only 2 AA batteries).
• Noisy directional pad.
• No real technological evolution (triggers, vibrations…).

Alternatively

Behind its retro looks, the SN30 Pro+ is modern and suitable for both games of yesteryear and recent titles. His requests that mix tradition and modernity are both a quality and a defect. Complete, it is a good option for those who want to play both on Switch and on PC or mobile, even in use retrogaming.
