They have the perfect length and resistance. That's why I'm so happy to say the Mini Series has great analog sticks! Even my favorite third-party Xbox 360 controller, the Hori EX pad 2, has shabby sticks. The single easiest thing for third party controllers to get wrong is the analog sticks. Glad to see that innovation carry over to wired Xbox One controllers! The male end of the cable has a breakaway connector, just like wired Xbox 360 controllers. You needn't fear anyone damaging the controller or console by tripping over the cord, either. The Mini Series cord itself is 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length. You'll never need to worry about the controller powering off when left idle, or having to fish around for a cord when you need to plug it in. But the wire can be handy in many situations. As far as we know, Microsoft still requires third-party controllers to be wired, so it's not like PowerA had a choice in the matter. The first difference between the Mini Series and a regular Xbox One controller is the Mini Series' built in USB cable. A matte finish would look cleaner after handling, and (in my opinion) a bit less cheap as well. Even just shooting the photographs and video for this review, the controller got fairly smudged up. Glossy controls show smudges basically any time you handle them. That's not too uncommon for controllers, but it's a worse choice than a matte finish. Whichever color you pick, the Mini Series controller comes in a glossy finish. For the purpose of this review, we picked up a black controller. You won't find an exposed black area on the green color or vice versa, unlike colored first-party controllers. Only the plastic shells and USB cables differ in color. This controller comes in two color variations: black or green.
