What is this Microsoft controller?
The wireless controller for Xbox Series more or less takes the shape of the controllers for the Xbox One, the previous generation of Microsoft's home console. Apart from switching to USB-C for wired gaming on multiple platforms, Microsoft is not changing a proven design. The ergonomics are still perfect, thanks in particular to a very well distributed weight and a more compact size, for a grip that is finally optimized for the smallest hands.
A new grip at the rear appears and improves handling. The joysticks also benefit from a new coating which optimizes grip. Without doing as much as Sony, which almost completely revises its copy for the DualSense, Microsoft is classic, but remains effective. The triggers now feature vibration motors, and the D-Pad is now circular. The button configuration remains the same, apart from the new “Share” button for taking screenshots.
At this price, is this controller a good deal?
Less than €40 for a very good multiplatform controller is an excellent deal. Because yes, the Microsoft controller offers great compatibility. In addition to Bluetooth and the USB-C cable, it includes the Xbox Wireless connection protocol. It can be used with the Xbox Series, a PC or Mac, as well as other Android and iOS devices, including tablets and smartphones.
Finally, in terms of autonomy, count on 40 hours of use. The controller is powered by two AA batteries, which you can replace with an optional rechargeable battery.
