    This is the real deal ultimate controller! I use this controller with the Xbox one s and it runs very smooth. The plastic casing is coated in a grippy, soft texture which adds some comfort when used for a long time. Triggers and joysticks are smooth and silent, and the buttons bounce back in place unlike cheap controllers I have used in the past. It is fast and efficient and is worth the money! Just take note that the X, A, B, and Y buttons are the same color. This might be a little confusing to new users because the regular remote uses colored buttons. That being said, at least they put the traditional colors of the buttons between the X, A, B, and Y buttons for guidance.

    Bought this for the boyfriend. He loves that the backside of the controller has little stubbles so he can grip the controller even when he has sweaty hands. The color is fantastic and haven’t seen the blue on other controllers before.

    Can't Mess Too Much with Perfection

    I wrote this for my Series X review, but it applies here: The controller feels a little lighter than the previous controllers. Much better texture and is as comfortable in the hand as the previous one. The "share" button doesn't really matter to me, but it's a nice added feature. I didn't think I'd like the D-pad when I first saw it, but I love it a lot more now that I have used it. My only gripe (small one at that) is that it's a bit noisier that the old D-pad. Very clicky. Not really a deal breaker though. It's good to see that Microsoft for the most part basically said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" about the Series controllers. I'm also glad to see that Microsoft released a different color along with white and black. It gives us some variety. Let's hope for more new colors in the future, as well as the return of the Design Lab soon.

    After years of dealing with Microsoft's first-party controllers I've come to expect sheer excellence. Very few companies put out a product such as this where the third-party efforts to meet or exceed its capabilities fall utterly flat. I've tried numerous off-brand controllers including much more expensive offerings from Razer... and they just don't cut the mustard. I now own five Xbox One/Series X controllers and they all work flawlessly after literal years of gaming - as long as you're not bouncing them off the walls, expect nothing less. These controllers are, in my opinion, perfect. And this red is hella sexy too.

    Vibrant, fun, and comfortable to hold. The new controller design is simple but an improvement nonetheless. Share button makes taking clips or screenshots and sharing with friends on online easy. The color is very bright.

    Not much to say on the controller. It has a solid feel to it and is basically like every other Xbox controller. Bought it for the color and look. It’s one of the better looking controllers for Series X. Especially of the three launch options.
