Beautiful controller
The iridescent purple is gorgeous! The rubber part on the underside of the grips is marbled purples, and that's a really nice touch. The rest of it is gray plastic. Works like every other Xbox controller otherwise. Haven't had any trouble connecting, and I put rechargeable batteries in them that can charge by just putting the controller in the charging base. That's why the battery door is black instead of gray in my pictures. The stock battery door matched the rest of the gray plastic. I did add joystick cushions to help ease the strain on my thumbs because they are concave on top but pretty small, so without the cushions that bowl shape and/or the texture on the side of it really irritated my thumbs after half an hour or so of gameplay. The cushions made it much more comfortable for extended play. It also helped it stay cleaner. The dip on the joystick tends to hold dust and stuff and then is hard to wipe out without a qtip or something like that.
