Pro Crisp, clicky and well-positioned buttons
The buttons are overall well-positioned and you don't have to reach for any of them. Compared to the older Xbox 360 controller, the buttons are also very crisp and clicky, at the same time making less noise. None of the buttons are slippery, while some of them even have rubber padding on them.
Pro Feels solid and comfortable
The controller feels very solid in hand - it doesn't give you a feeling that it could break. The shape is comfortable for longer playing sessions, even for people with bigger hands. At the same time it's noticeably lighter than the old Xbox 360 controller.
Pro Wired and wireless options
The Xbox One controller can be used wirelessly, but it comes with a cable, which allows you to use it on Windows. For a wireless connection you need to purchase an Xbox wireless adapter for Windows.
Pro Tons of customizability
You can choose between several base designs, but you can also add skins and button covers to your Xbox One Controller.
Cons
Con Has issues pairing
No matter which device you try to pair the controller with, it ends up losing the pairing, forcing the player to go through the pairing process frequently enough to be annoying.
Con No analog sticks
Only really useful for 2D games as there are no analog sticks.
Con Not ergonomically designed
There aren't any grips, and the button layout is designed to be functional instead of comfortable.
Con The shoulder-buttons are hard to click
The shoulderbuttons(L1 and R1) are a little cumbersome for many users. They also click differently on the inner and outer side of the buttons, requiring different amount of force.
Con On the expensive side
The very basic Xbox One controller costs around $50. There are various editions available that cost even more.
