PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Wired Video Game Controller, Gamepad for Xbox X and S, Officially Licenced by Xbox, 2 Years Manufacturer Warranty- AMZ Exclusive

Reviewing almost 3 years after original purchase. It has served me extremely well this long.Upon suggestions from others, assigned the back buttons as click down of joystick (L3 and R3). Today for the first time in 2.8 years I have noticed a drift. Will try to clean it with rubbing alcohol first, in personal experience it fixed an old controller. But if that doesn't do it, I am definitely going to re-purchase this controller, I do not want any other.The back buttons are awesome, made me hate using L3 and R3 on any other conotroller. The ability to set the lights in various places on the controller is amazing too, I usually spend a minute to colour code to whatever game I currently play. At first wasn't the biggest fan of the ability to set the triggers, but later found it at time has it's uses, like instances when in game you cannot exceed a certain speed (think Delamaine in Cyberpunk 2077).It is more "clicky" rather than smooth like, say, an official xbox controller. But for the price and it's compatibility with both pc and xbox, I think it is perfect. Definitely recommend as a pc main controller or a secondary console controller.

Recently purchased this controller at the beginning of July so have been using a fair bit. In summary a very good 3rd-party, wired Xbox One, PC or Series S|X controller. Yesterday I also took delivery of the Turtle Beach Recon Controller (separate review left on that product page) which is also another really good controller with some very unique features. This compares well to that controller. My thoughts:+ Ergonomics pretty much the same as the Xbox Series controller.+ Tension on the analog sticks is nearly perfect and the same as the aforementioned Turtle Beach Recon Controller. Again very small deadzone.+ Kontrol Freeks fit perfectly fine with no wiggle or turning (took them off to put on the Recon for that photo).+ Front of the controller has a soft rubberised coating which is pleasant to hold. Some texturing on the back of the controller although quite smooth to hold.+ D-pad is very good, as are triggers and shoulder buttons. No impulse trigger rumble motors for the games that use them, i.e. Forza Motorsport. But I don't think that's going to be an issue with FPS and 3rd person shooters.+ Micro USB cable port is locked in very securely on the controller, and the break-away cable is a nice touch (like the OG Xbox).+ RGB lighting is quite fun although thankfully it can be turned off. Zone lighting isn't quite uniform though.+ Very easy to program the two back buttons on the fly, although no stored profiles like the Turtle Beach Recon Controller though.The Trigger stops work...for some games but with varying results. In Halo MCC you can set the trigger stops to the smaller travel with no impact. But in other games the buttons don't work or limit the acceleration on vehicles, i.e. Destiny 2. So it's hit and miss as to whether they work with the game you want to play. Without software, like the official MS Elite or the Razer Wolverine controllers, trigger stops are limited in usefulness.Not many negatives although I think weight of the controller is one. It feels slightly heavier than an official Microsoft controller with battery pack (286g vs 271g). PowerA have used metal weights in their more expensive Fusion Pro controller and this feels similar, although without taking it apart I can't be sure. But personally I prefer lighter controllers. Also the 3.5mm audio jack worked fine for me, although I didn't have a chance to test the microphone which can be very low quality output on 3rd-party controllers.So in terms of the features versus the price of this controller, it's an easy recommend, particularly at this price point. I do prefer the included audio pre-amp/EQ etc. on the Turtle Beach Recon Controller but the Spectra Infinity is cheaper and if you use a wireless headset might not need those features anyway. A good controller, and I hope has some durability etc. as I continue to use it.

Bought this to use for Xbox and PC gaming. First off, the lights are awesome, you can customise which colours you would like (Green & Blue, Pink & Green and so on) which look really cool. The wired connection that it comes with seems solid and works OK but after a while I found that the controller keeps shorting out and decides to stop working and I'd have to unplug and plug it back in again. My partner has bought the purple one of this which has no lights and after some use it has started to develop stick drift which is not fun. Overall it's a good controller for the price.

I use this controller for PC gaming, more recently; Elden Ring.I will preface this by saying I am not a professional gamer... just a humble casual.I do not own an Xbox.This controller feels very sturdy, the build quality is good and tough, and it looks great when lit up.It typically weighs a lot more than any previous controller's I've owned, but this is likely due to the better build quality and extra internals for the RGB lighting.I have been using this controller for over 20 hours of rough play-time at the time of writing this review and I am very happy with my purchase.

The controller is very solid. The trigger stops and back buttons are what I was shopping for, and they deliver. The buttons aren't flimsy and are very responsive. The trigger stops are only useful for me at max or off, based off my fixation for fps and racing games. The standard buttons and sticks are fine, no drifting issues or sticking. The LED's surprised me, because each zone is mostly bright and colorful other than near the bottom grips. Now the reason for my title, the cable system. I wish they didn't stray away from the cord locking system with the newer designs. I prefer this design of locking tabs at each side, even though it's Micro USB instead of USB-C. It's such a great controller that's hard to find this version in stock new.

I love everything about this controller - it feels very premium with its soft texture, excellent buttons and adjustable triggers (and extra programmable buttons on the back), and braided cable - and you get all this for a very good price! The lighting is also a very cool touch, and I still stop and look at it every time I plug it in.I've had mine for over 2 years now and it still feels brand new - no stick drift or any issues. The key with any controller is to be gentle with the joysticks (within reason) and protect it from dust when not in use, and you can get a lot of mileage out of it - this controller is definitely no exception.

Muy útil por sus botones traseros y bonito a la vista por su color y luces personalizable. Lo volvería a comprar.

Vale apena recomendo o produto..Testei um tempo antes de avaliar aqui e posso dizer bom controle para quem joga COD multiplayer e warzone faz diferença os botões extras atrás mas também gostei muito de jogar Gears 5 nele pois vc mapeia o botão A para o botão esquerdo traseiro e fica ótimo para correr com o personagem e o B para pegar chover e no COD vc também funciona o botão A para pular e o B para abaixar . Fica ótimo e os botões LT e RT vc pode diminuír o clique neles vc deixa ali o RT no meio termo fica ótimo em jogo de fps . . Controle de boa qualidade os leds é só charme mesmo fica muito bonito e o fio que vem com ele para conectar no console é de excelente qualidade e é removível o que é ótimo para guardar o controle.. Vale muito apena . Digo isso com1 mês de uso ..Atualização Maio2023:Tive problemas com o gatilho RT parou de funcionar abri para ver o que estava acontecendo e percebi que a peça que faz o ajuste dos gatilhos são de plástico finas e frágeis colei com uma cola forte e voltou a funcionar porém não ficou igual antes mais funcionando então fica esse aviso .

The package was pretty much ok, some bends but nothing to worry. It contained controller, cable and user manual. Cable seems of good quality and has a decent length for most uses. Something I didn't expected was the amount of costumability, from the back buttons, to trigger depth, to RGB lighting, much appreciated. At first I wasn't looking to buy a controller with RGB, but it was at same price as the normal controller so why not. Great variation of colors, obviously not all kinds of colors but has a ton to choose from. Something to remark is the outer lighting, or what they call the zone 1, is pretty dim even after maxing brightness, maybe it's my controller but I thought important to point it out. But as I told RGB it's not a concern for me but someone may find this info useful. I tested the aux control and seems to work fine, not used to play with headphones so haven't used it that much, just to check if it worked and it did. About the buttons seems to work fine, good press feeling, maybe not extreme quality but for the price it's pretty good. Haven't played a lot with it so time will tell how good it behaves. In that case, this is a partial review and I fill satisfied with my investment. If the ratting of this review doesn't change its because no major problems have appeared.Side note: I use this controller for PC, so it may be different when used with a Xbox One/ Xbox Series S/X
