W&O Wireless Controller Compatible with Xbox 360 2.4GHZ Gamepad Joystick Wireless Controller Compatible with Xbox 360 and PC Windows 7,8,10,11 with Receiver (Black)

Bought to replace the controller for my Shield TV as the original had packed up and the replacement is hard to find and overpriced. I tried another bluetooth controller, which paired up OK but had terrible input lag making it unusable. This works fine. Just plug the dongle into the USB port, pop a couple batteries in the controller (2x AA's, it works fine with rechargeables), and it instantly paired up and worked exactly as expected. No detectable lag, and the Shield recognizes it as a Xbox controller, so games configure correctly and show the right buttons.Note- don't use the dongle with a USB hub. For some reason, pairing then is unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just refuses to pair. But plugged directly into the Shield, it always works fine.Feel is surprisingly decent. The sticks are smooth, the buttons aren't mushy or sticky. It's not as nice as a first party controller, but for the price it's not bad, definitely seen a lot worse. For casual or occasional use, it's perfectly usable with Shield TV.

Normally I just play Virtual Reality (VR) games. Then I accidentally bought a game (Fugl) that wasn't VR. Around same time I needed to get a gaming monitor to diagnose an issue I was having when setting up for virtual reality. So I bought a monitor from Amazon. I played the non VR game on it using mouse and keyboard. I had never used a gamepad/game controller before. But as I discovered other non VR games - like the brand new game Stray and another game The Pedestrian - I realized that maybe a gamepad might be easier. But I didn't want to make a big investment, since my main interest is VR games. I also thought there might be a problem getting a gamepad that worked with Linux. I knew that Xbox One controllers were known to work with Linux on Steam and that there was software I could get. This gamepad being made to work with Xbox and at such a reasonable price and pretty good (for the most part) reviews, I ordered this gamepad. I was somewhat dismayed when it was delivered to discover there were no instructions! I had no idea what the buttons and knobs did! But I was thrilled that it worked just by plugging in the USB Wireless Receiver, I guess Steam took care of the rest. I didn't have to do anything else.The good news is that I saw the beginning of a gameplay on The Pedestrian game and realized that just playing that game I would have the opportunity to figure out how to use the gamepad. So I started the game and figured out by trial and error how to maneuver. Some help was given by the game, which was a pure puzzle game - no rush, no accuracy needed, perfect for learning.I can not evaluate accuracy, drift, etc. since I have no prior experience and am still learning how to use it myself. I still don't know what some of the buttons and knobs do. I will wait until I have more experience before I play Stray - I don't want to keep killing the cat!But I will say I am glad I bought this wireless controller.And I will add that I did not write this review in order to get another one - I only need one. This is a honest review written from my personal perspective.

Works well but just needs usb thing to work

This works great. We haven’t had any issues with it. It’s a great replacement for an Xbox 360 controller.. The wireless works just fine.

This is one of the best controllers I ever bought. Durable and strong. I have bought more expensive controllers that fall apart in a short amount of time. It does not have all the high-end feature, but it hold up in durability.

I have to give it 5 stars. It worked perfectly right out of the box and it's one of my favorite xbox controller shape designs

I'll just say the biggest issue with this controller is that it can lag. I'm not joking. The connection between it, and the dongle isn't the best. I just got it in, and I have had multiple instances where the input will be several seconds delayed. You can wait for it to fix itself, or you can remove the batteries, and put them back in.One more thing to know: the console treats this as though it were wired. There isn't an option to turn off the controller only.

Edit after replacement: The second controller came in with much better packaging, no visible or physical wear, and after idling for several hours it's still working. I'm very certain the first one I was sent was a refurbished dud, but this second one seems to be okay so far. So I'm raising the review to 4 stars.--------------------------------------------First of all, the box was open and damaged when it arrived. Just a damaged box with half-hearted packaging, the receiver wasn't even protected and there were no instructions. Okay, plug and play, but I should have known that would be an omen. I plug it into my PC and all is working fine AT FIRST, but I look closer and notice scratches on the controller. Alright, whatever no big deal. Then as I'm playing a game, I noticed the up d-pad felt really stiff. That's annoying but fine, I just go back to Amazon and order a replacement and I'll keep using this in the mean time...Day 2, less than 24 hours later, I try to turn the controller on and there's no response. It's dead. Swap batteries, nothing. The controller didn't even last 24 hours. Not only that, it killed one of my rechargeable batteries and it won't recharge anymore. I'm almost certain I was sent a defective used/refurbished controller.Right now I'm giving this controller one star. The replacement is already on the way, if it's better I'll update this review. If not, then I can't recommend this controller and this review won't change.
