All in one controller
Purchased it to play with my PC setup. Only downside is no rechargeable battery like PS remote. After purchasing I found out that’s how Xbox makes them. So just my lack of understanding and research. Full points to controller. Only other thing i could think of is its half white and half red. I would love it if its all red.

Fantastic and slick looking controller
Controller has worked perfectly and looks great. Can't really ask for much more. Price is only thing that knocks it down a little.

Fair price
Not much to say about the controller. This was a replacement. They seem to last for a couple of years, which is understandable given how much they can be used.

Solid Controller for PC and Xbox
The Pulse Red color is nice—though I wish there was a red and black version. The red and white combo still looks great and stands out. Works great on PC via bluetooth.

Q: Does this Xbox controller work with Xbox One and Series X?
A: Yes. Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red works with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, so it suits households using more than one Xbox generation. It is a standard wireless controller, not a pro-style model with rear paddles or hardware tuning.
Q: Can Pulse Red connect to a Windows 10 PC over Bluetooth?
A: Yes. Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red connects to Windows 10 PCs over Bluetooth for cable-free play, and it is also compatible with Xbox consoles and mobile devices. Advanced hardware customisation is limited compared with higher-tier controllers.
Q: Will a wired headset plug straight into this controller?
A: Yes. Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red has a 3.5mm audio headset jack, so a compatible wired headset can plug directly into the controller. The jack is for headsets that use that connection, not USB-only headset plugs.
Q: Is this a good controller for long gaming sessions?
A: Yes. Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red uses sculpted surfaces, refined geometry and textured grip on the triggers, bumpers and back case for a steadier hold over longer play sessions. It does not add premium extras such as back paddles.
Q: Can I use this controller with an iPhone or Android phone?
A: Yes. Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red connects to mobile devices over Bluetooth, so it can be used for supported games on compatible phones and tablets. Mobile support varies by game, and some controller features can be limited on iOS.
Q: How long does the battery last on the Pulse Red controller?
A: Xbox Wireless Controller Pulse Red delivers up to 40 hours of battery life under typical controller use. Actual runtime varies with features such as wireless use and headset connection, so heavier use can shorten the time between battery changes.
