Affected model
This content relates specifically to the model: Electric Volt. Other variations exist and their prices are indicated in the tabs of the table below.
Introduced with the Xbox Series X/S, the new Xbox controller looks exactly like the Xbox One controller. Behind the adage “why change a formula that works?”, discreet and very welcome improvements that we were able to evaluate…
In the absence of a very marked 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. Certainly quite timid, the developments made by Microsoft further improve comfort and precision, enough to make this new Xbox Series controller a reference in the field. We nevertheless remain unsatisfied with regard to on-board vibration technologies, which would have benefited from catching up with those used by Nintendo and Sony on their respective official controllers.

Points forts
- Safe and comfortable grip.
- Accessible and precise controls.
- Good manufacturing quality.
- Precise and comfortable directional cross.
- Reduced latency on Xbox Series X/S.
- Triple connectivity: radio, Bluetooth and USB-C.
Weak points
- Battery and cable not included (2 AA batteries only).
- Noisy directional cross.
- No real technological development (triggers, vibrations, etc.).
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
Nintendo’s Switch Pro controller remains a benchmark on Switch. It provides the comfort that Joy-Con lacks without sacrificing their specific functions and offers good precision. Nintendo unfortunately charges quite a lot for these qualities and we will therefore tend to look for alternatives in the case where we only want a secondary controller to play with others, for example. Ignoring the price, however, this Switch Pro gamepad appears to us to be the best choice for playing on Switch.
