PowerA Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S - Royal Blue

This is a PowerA brand wired controller designed for the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, as well as Windows PC. The item features a vibrant 'Royal Blue' exterior shell with matte finish plastic construction. The layout adheres to the standard Microsoft configuration, including dual analog joysticks with grey rubberized tops, a textured D-pad, and the four primary action buttons (A, B, X, Y) in their traditional colored lettering on a blue background. Notably, it includes the dedicated 'Share' button introduced with the Series X generation of hardware. The center of the controller features the Xbox logo button, which appears to have a small white sticker or residue partially obscuring it. The controller is a wired model, utilizing a fixed or detachable black USB cable for low-latency gameplay. Per the owner's assessment, the unit is in very good cosmetic and functional condition with no visible scratches or physical damage. It is an officially licensed third-party peripheral, characterized by its lightweight design and ergonomic shape similar to the OEM Microsoft controller but without internal battery weight. The manufacturing is reflective of modern assembly lines from the early 2020s, prioritizing affordability and functional reliability.
