The tops are about a millimeter smaller in radius compared to the first-party sticks, and aren't nearly as prone to collecting debris, either. Their length is about 2mm shorter than the official sticks, which are slightly too long in my opinion. 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. Let's run down the controller's various sticks and buttons and see how they measure up to a first-party controller's. Someone with extra-large hands like Mobile Nations' very tall Simon Sage might find it too small, though. 'They look like big, strong hands, don't they?' No, the controller isn't too small for adult male hands to use. That doesn't make it exceptionally small per se, just a bit more appropriate for children and people with smaller hands. I don't know the exact ratio, but this controller seems about twenty percent smaller than the standard Xbox One controller (and about a centimeter shorter than a Playstation controller). The Mini Series Controller's standout feature is (of course) its diminutive size. Glad to see that innovation carry over to wired Xbox One controllers! Size matters 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.
Read on to find out whether the Mini Series Controller is right for you. And last but not least, it sells for $39.99 – $20 less than the standard controller. The Mini Series controller is also smaller than a standard Xbox One controller, making it more suitable for players with small hands. Many gamers prefer wireless for comfort, but wired controllers can still be very handy. Along with PowerA's Spectra Controller, it's one of the very first two wired controllers for Xbox One. The Mini Series Wired Controller is exciting for a number of reasons. First up will be the new Xbox One Mini Series Wired Controller from Power A (makers of the MOGA controllers. Last week we promised to bring you more Xbox One accessory reviews, and we weren't kidding! I have no less than six controllers and other accessories in the hopper, just waiting to be put through their paces so that our readers can know what's up.
