The color of this controller far passes the expectations of the pictures. If you grew up in the 90s and had the purple see-through Gameboy color then you will fall in love all over again, this controller is that in just a deep shade of purple. The feel of the controller is also great and so far have had no issues with any of the buttons sticking or not working.

I really love the Xbox one controller. Very responsive, buttons feel great, contours to any size hands, and will work for any type of game.
The magenta color is beautiful. The face buttons are all magenta themselves but there is a standard color key in the middle of the face button layout to match on-screen prompts in games.
Highly recommended.

I don't normally buy a new controller before I actually need one, given how expensive they are, but the moment I saw the reveal of the Phantom Magenta, I just had to get it. This controller is just as gorgeous in person as it appears in pictures. The see-through plastic is my favorite look on gaming devices, and the color of this one is perfect!

I’m so happy to see other colors out there for controllers. My sick daughter is home bound all the time due to her illness and this made a perfect gift to brighten her day. She loves anything close to or purple. The controller that came with her Xbox one never would work for more then an hour. So we found her one that gave her joy!!!!!!

Works perfectly just like my other Microsoft controllers. I hesitated because I thought the color would be too dark and wouldn’t really look magenta, but I was wrong! This controller looks amazing. You can definitely see the magenta color, and in natural light it looks even better with seeing into the controller. Definitely recommend.

I fell in love with the color of this Xbox controller when I first saw it. It is semi transparent but also a deep violet/purple that look really good in person. Personally, this is my favorite of all the controller options. Simple, fun and definitely an eye catcher when having friends over to play. I recommend!!

My son wanted a wireless controller that works with his PC. This was the only color on sale so he took it. It is not a feminine magenta, but is a fade to black and is somewhat darker than the pic. I love the color.

I didn’t really need one I just got it cause it was pretty lol. Works great. I definitely recommend adding the geek squad warranty if you have kids or pets! Everything is covered whether your pet chews on it or your kids decide to play football with it.

Our son had broken one of the joysticks on a different controller, cant click it to run/jump, and I also wanted one that I could differentiate between so I would know if and when it had/has been moved. Its great! My daughter loves the color and so do I!

Needless to say it’s a controller. It works. It does what it should. What can be knocked about that? Fan of purple of various shades. Got the PS4 Electric purple say this come out and had to get it. The phantom look is awesome as well.
