    These controllers are always good. I collect them whenever I see them on sale. Limited edition ones are the for sure buys. It's good to have a few just in case a friend comes over and you want to game together. Whenever I buy these controllers it's never because they stop working but because they are great stocking stuffers or birthday gifts as well. Xbox controllers are the elite way to go when it comes to first person shooters.

    I love the color and the texture on the back feels amazing, I've been using it for a while now and it's exactly what you would expect for it being a standard Microsoft Controller.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Best standard controller. Good build quality, great ergonomics. Works extremely well on PC, either with Bluetooth or the separate dedicated wireless adapter. Works well on android too on Bluetooth.

    It functions just like an xbox controller should. The action buttons seem a little extra springy, but I kind of like the feel. The real advantage to this control, as a gaming mother in a house full of //boys//, is that I no longer find my controller covered in the slime and grime that is the adolescent males inability to carry out fuctions of basic hygiene, and their insistent need to eat PB&Js and play Lego Batman at the same time. It all still happens, just not on this pink hodge-podge of craziness. So, 100% approve of this controller and it's crazy coloring. It says, "That's mom's."

    The Xbox One controller Stellar Shift Edition is a stellar addition to the gaming experience. The sleek design, featuring a captivating cosmic theme, instantly stands out. The controller's ergonomic shape ensures comfortable gameplay for hours on end. The responsive buttons and precise analog sticks contribute to smooth and accurate controls. The textured grip provides a secure hold during intense gaming sessions. Additionally, the wireless connectivity allows freedom of movement without any lag. Although the price is a bit higher than the standard controller, the unique design and enhanced performance make it well worth the investment for Xbox enthusiasts and those who appreciate stylish peripherals.

    This controller looks beautiful (love the color) and when it works, is awesome. However, these controllers just should not have problems with stick drift after just 6 months of careful use. That's been the case with all 3 of these that I have. Microsoft needs to redesign so this doesn't happen. I know these are user serviceable most of the time but I shouldn't have to take the time to take all 3 controllers apart and tinker to hopefully fix them. It gets 3 stars because I really like it when it works properly. I guess I have to recommend it because when on sale, they are relatively affordable as compared to some of the other obnoxiously expensive options.

    xbox controllers are excellent, and this cipher blue is really cool. Reminds me of the old school see through purple gameboy color in the day but this is blue and a controller. It works perfectly like any other xbox controller and its easy to keep track of controllers with different designs / colors

    This is the exact color i chose to get in Xbox’s design lab. Im just glad i waited and didnt buy it then. I gor this controller on sale for $49.99. That makes it a lot cheaper than the design lab cotrollers. Of course u might think anout going thr design lab route so u can get the rubber grips. DONT! I purchased the elite 1 and 2 controllers and on both of them the rubber grip peeled off of noth if them. I baby all of my stuff including controllers. It appears that when your hand’s sweat the sweat disloves the adhesive holding the rubber grips. Thats why I like the plastic grips with this controller. Its not flat plastic, but has a plastic textured grip.
