Microsoft - Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One (Latest Model) - Shock Blue

Overall, this is basically just an XBOX One controller, but with some improvements. The sticks don't clack as loud as an original xbox one controller. The share button helps without having to press home + x/y every time you want to take a capture. The sticks are a bit stiff but just feel like they need to be broken in. The D-Pad is a lot more comfortable to use than the One's D-Pad. The only real issues I have is a lack of motion controls for potential improvements in aiming, like a switch pro controller or a PS4 controller. And there is still no included recharging battery or cable, so you still have to either buy a rechargeable battery or buy AA batteries. If you like the Xbox One controller, this is an objective improvement.

Good update to an already amazing controller. This is very similar to the xbox one s controller but the D-Pad is much more responsive. There is also a nice texture on the back of the controller that gives it a great grip. This is in my opinion the best 3D controller for PC Gaming. If you play a lot of 2D games maybe you want to get an 8BITDo as well but for shooters, 3D platformers, racing etc this is the way to go NOTE: make sure you download the XBOX Accessories app on your PC and update the controller firmware, otherwise it won't work with your Windows PC

I purchased the Microsoft Xbox Series Wireless Controller (Shock Blue) for my nephew for Christmas so he can have an additional controller for his Xbox One S. The main thing that I he likes about it is the stippled texturing on the triggers and the back of the controller. The bumpers and triggers have a matte finish, which he says more nicer to him. There's a new share button on the center of the controller, which from what he said makes it easier to save screenshots and video clips. One press for screenshot or hold for video clip. Also, to view recent clips you can fouble press the share button to see them. My nephew is an avid gamer and has been since birth and loves playing Fortnite. He gets sweaty hands after long sessions of gaming and the grip on the controller helps. He can experience incredible intensity, precision and comfort of the Xbox Wireless Controller and also feel vibration feedback and jolts in high definition which he loves! The controller is wireless and fits perfectly on a rechargeable battery holder. The controller itself fits comfortably in his mid-sized hands and the triggers are very responsive. The main differences are the feel of the controller itself and the D-pad. It now has a lot more textured feeling, which extends to the bumpers and triggers. The bumpers used to be glossy and slippery and now they're more of a matte finish. The D-pad returns to the more "paddle" like one from the Xbox 360 but is much improved from that version and feels tight and clicky instead of wobbly. It also is very responsive with a satisfying mechanical feel and is faster and more responsive than the XB1 controller This controller has USB-C instead of Micro USB, Better texture on the handles, Grippy triggers, Built in Bluetooth, and a new D-Pad. It includes Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth technology for wireless gaming on supported consoles. Such as, Windows 10 PCs, Android phones, and tablets. Hopefully iOS support coming in the future. There is also a 15 day Xbox Game Pass included. Barring the elite controller, this is hands-down my nephew's favorite controller for any console to date. Well done, Microsoft you out done yourself with this one!

Needed a new controller and this was on Sale at BestBuy. Great functionality and taking the battery cover off, it allows to be charged on the stand charger I used with my original Xbox controllers. Great feel and the texture makes it a great grip while the sticks are very responsive. Truly a good buy!

Great controller. I've always been a fan of the xbox controllers design (except for the DUKE) on the original xbox. This is more a evolution than revolution than the competition, but when it is this good you don't need to really rebuild from scratch.

Great controller all around. A refinement of an already great Xbox One controller to be honest. The textured feel of the controller, the change to the bumpers and triggers shape and form are all welcome changes. The addition of a dedicated share butting is also a welcome enhancement. Lastly, the updated D-pad is crisp and responsive and a welcome addition. When you throw in the fact that it can work with the new Series S and Series X as well as work with older Xbox One console... you cannot go wrong with this purchase.

I love this controller! At first it felt a bit smaller and that’s because it is, so now kids can use it easier than before. But other than that, the texture on the back is great for grip even though it isn’t rubber, and I’ve found that it keeps my hands from feeling sticky or sweaty during long gaming sessions! Also the share button is an amazing feature that I personally use all the time to take snapshots really quickly without pausing the game, and hold it to take clips. Lastly, the new d-pad is super nice and doesn’t hurt to rest your thumb there for games that use it. The USB-C upgrade is also very welcome, it was about time. Overall the controller feels great in the hands and more sturdy than previous Gen controllers. I only wish that they would improve the vibration mechanism inside.

So far no issues and it works great with no drifting, pretty much plug-n-play. My second Xbox Series X controller for my pc, but in all honestly it seems like most controllers have drifting/button issues after constant use. I find myself replacing these controllers every year or so. Ergonomics of this controller is just like the old Xbox One Controller with the addition of a firm textured grip/bumpers/triggers and a more tactile responsive d-pad, albeit not the greatest for fighting games. Note - this does not come with a USB-C cable out of the box unless you get a bundle.
