    Great controller when it works but don’t think it works as designed so while I’m in my home, I can play the system using my device. However, when I connect my Xbox series S to ethernet, I was hoping that would remote play. I would be able to play it outside of the hall, which seems to not be the case as advertised, I would recommend waiting for the connection in your area to be supreme before buying this product. Hopefully for those who have purchased this product they have the band with thresholds that are required to utilize this as advertised until then it’s a beautiful paperwork and allows me to play the game while I can watch something else with the family.
