Is it reliable to buy a controller on Microsoft Xbox official website (recommended for genuine controllers on Xbox official website)

Is still rushing to buy Xbox controllers in a stupid e-commerce business? Isn't the Microsoft Xbox official website controller that I bought open good?

Not long ago, I shared an article on the authentic Xbox controller detection skills on this site. At the end of the article, I said that I will definitely wait until the domestic Xbox "Electric Yellow" wireless controller is available, and I will also make an unboxing for everyone as soon as possible. To be honest, I didn’t have much hope. I didn’t expect that Microsoft is more powerful this time. It was launched before the 2023 Lunar New Year, so I got what I wanted and successfully purchased the Xbox 'Electric Yellow' wireless controller. It seems that it is definitely indispensable for me to celebrate the New Year!

1 Purchase method

At the beginning, I actually planned to buy it from JD.com, but the Xbox controller on JD.com was either out of stock or “snatching the monkey”. Later, I also considered the PDD domestic market, but it didn’t have the color I like, and it was “electric yellow”, but unfortunately it was the so-called American version, and it was not very good to read the comments, so I kept going to Microsoft Xbox official website.

?JD.com is currently selling either a price increase or an overseas version, and I am speechless. . . . .

?In fact, I have always believed that the Xbox official website is the best way to buy Xbox controllers. In addition to not worrying about whether it is genuine, it is often available and purchased directly. The only disadvantage is that it may be incomplete in color matching.

?And as of today (2023/01/24), I have seen that except for black, all other colors can be purchased directly. And no! add! price!

?It is also very convenient to purchase on Microsoft Xbox official website. You can buy it directly by logging in to your Microsoft account. Online payment methods support Alipay and WeChat, and also support cash on delivery, and electronic invoices will be issued.

?I personally test that the order was placed on the Microsoft Xbox official website and the shipping email will be sent to the email address you filled in in the delivery address in the previous step. The delivery location is Shanghai, and SF Express is adopted. Although the Chinese New Year is coming, the speed is still very good. I received the express delivery in less than 3 days in my small fifth-tier county.

OK! Without further ado, just go to the unboxing process~

2 Xbox controller unboxing

PS: Due to the influence of multiple factors of taking photos (mobile phones, light, and my slag technology), the pictures displayed in this article have a large color difference from the actual machine. Please do not be serious~~

?The tape on the outer packaging is the Microsoft logo when receiving the express delivery. Although it looks a bit dirty, there is nothing broken on the whole, and I have nothing to mind.

?On the outer packaging, you can see the original packaging of the Xbox controller and a delivery order.

?The above are the front and back of the original Xbox controller.

?The packaging seal design uses disposable plastic stickers.

? When you open the packaging, you can see the handle lying quietly in the packaging box.

?There are two batteries No. 5 batteries under the handle.

?Then the lowest level is the manual or something. Yes, the official version does not have a data cable yet~~

?Yeah, that's how the overall effect of the handle is. It is obviously electric blue, but I took a bit white when I took a photo, but the handle is still very beautiful.

?As the latest version of the next-generation Xbox controller, its biggest change is to replace the cross key with the same disc design as the elite controller, and also add a screenshot sharing key to facilitate screenshots and recording videos.

? It can be seen that the XYAB key of Microsoft's Xbox controller can be seen from the side with a very obvious three-dimensional jelly effect, which is still very good. But this gap? ? ?

?The grooves on the rocker and the frosted and anti-slip texture design around it are said to be a complete dirt collector in the future. I am considering whether to buy a rocker cap and press it on.

?The trigger key above the handle is also matte and anti-slip textured. The interface is Type-C, which is used for wired connections, or to charge the extra lithium battery. As for the black button, it is its Bluetooth pairing button.

?The left side of the bottom is the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the right side is an expansion port that most people don’t use.

?In addition to the battery compartment, it can also be seen that the grip part adopts a large amount of matte and anti-slip texture design on the back of the handle.

?What does the inside of the battery compartment look like. It can be seen that Microsoft's battery compartment design is a bit anti-human. This design seems to think that the battery is connected in parallel, but in series.

?Finally, take a look at the effect of its watermelon peel after it is turned on.

3 Online effects and detection

? Let me first explain that the system used in my personal gaming environment is the latest Windows 11, and the connection method is Bluetooth 4.0 (the wireless network card purchased for desktop computers is included).

?First turn on the power switch of the handle (that is, the watermelon peel logo), then press the Bluetooth pairing key above the side (that is, the black button next to the Type-C interface). When the light on the handle begins to flash quickly, it means that the handle has entered the pairing mode. Then add the device directly into the Bluetooth connection in the computer settings and you can search for the controller in the search list.

? After selecting, you can connect directly.

?After connecting, you can also see its power in the connection list.

? Then download Microsoft's official controller management software "Xbox Accessories" and it will be directly identified, so the authentic one is undoubtedly. Then simply test whether the buttons are normal, and it has not been overturned yet.

? Enter the serial number on the official website to check the warranty. It is obviously a one-year warranty, but I don’t know why the warranty deadline is more than a month longer. I hope the big guys who know can use the popular science in the comment area.

? Finally, I played a photo of me playing the 3A masterpiece "Old Man Takes Children" with my handle, and the experience was very pleasant~~
