Customers appreciate the Xbox One Special Edition Midnight Forces Wireless Controller's unique design, striking color, and comfortable feel. Many praise its appearance and quality, highlighting the improved grip and inclusion of a headphone jack. However, some users mention issues with battery life, while others note occasional problems with the controller's size, triggers, or connection.
I bought this controller for 2 reasons, having an extra controller for when friends come over and having an Xbox One controller for my PC. The controller itself performs just like any other with the added blue and black camouflage. However on my model there seems to be an issue with the right trigger. On a perfect controller when the triggers bottom out it feels as if they have a hit a nice rubber or foam stopper, however on mine the right trigger seems to be lacking that stopper so it makes a loud audible click as well as making the button bottom out harder making it uncomfortable during FPS games. I'm sure that my model is a just a fluke since I haven't seen anyone else talking about the issue. The controller still does what it does and that is play games so I have no complaints that way. However there is one more thing that bothers me and that is the lack of a pre installed rechargeable battery pack like that on the PS4 and older Xbox 360. The play and charge kit by itself is another 24.99, not justifiable and to get a controller with the play and charge kit included it's like $80 bucks. These are my only pet peeves with the controller otherwise it is pretty much perfect and a definite improvement over the 360 controller.

Having purchased the Master Chief Halo 5 Controller, I also decided to get the other Halo 5 limited edition controller. The Halo 5 special edition controller is essentially a regular XBOX One controller but with a color and design scheme that reflects Spartan Locke's blue visor and silver armor with various emblems probably denoting Fireteam OSIRIS on the right side and UNSC marking on the top left by the left joystick. On the Left side are the numbers denoting Blue Team (Master Chief). The cross pad is blue chrome and the controller has blue chrome highlights. Blue is the color of Spartan Locke's visor as mentioned earlier. Other than that, it is a regular XBOX One controller in function. This is recommended for HALO fans as a collectors item.

Standard xbox one controller with a distinctive design. Strong durable this controller will hold up to even the most hard core gamer. Battery life however is poor. A rechargeable battery pack is strongly recommended. If you want a unique controller with the durability and quality of Microsoft then this is the one you want.
