Press whatever input you want to assign to either button, then press the desired button. Just press the Programming button in the middle of the back of the controller until the status LED flashes. Mapping the Advanced Gaming Buttons is easy, and doesn't require any app or software. You can map any other button press on the gamepad to either of those buttons, including the face buttons, direction pad, the triggers, or clicking either control stick. The biggest differences between the Enhanced Wired Controller and the Xbox One gamepad are the two Advanced Gaming Buttons, two flat trigger-like controls that sit halfway down the grips on the back of the controller.

The gamepad also features a headset jack on the bottom edge, just like the Xbox One controller. It has a U-shaped frame with large, curved grips, offset dual analog sticks with convex caps, a direction pad, two pairs of shoulder buttons, A/B/X/Y face buttons, View and Menu buttons, and even a round Guide button with the Xbox logo. It's available in 10 different colors and patterns, with black, white, and green available anywhere and other variations exclusive to retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, and Amazon (the gold-colored version, for example, is at Best Buy only). The Enhanced Wired Controller looks and feels just like an Xbox One gamepad at first glance, with minor differences. It's also responsive and easy to use, and for that it earns our Editors' Choice. It's wired, and it doesn't have the premium and customizable design elements of the aforementioned gamepads, but it offers a very solid gaming experience for any Windows or Xbox One user with two helpful, programmable buttons on the back for extra flexibility. That's what makes the $29.99 PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller so surprising. When it comes to controllers, extra buttons have generally been limited to high-end and custom varieties, like the Xbox Elite Controller and SCUF and Evil Controllers' custom models, all of which cost a pretty penny. Direction pad and menu buttons are slightly smaller than on the Xbox One controller.
