OH YEAH!
Normal Xbox controller but the color is great and the transparency gives a very old school 90's vibe.
If you are a controller head then this is a must add to your collection

Absolutely love the color. I only trust the xbox controllers from Microsoft becuase the ones I have from my 360 are still operational.
The controllers for the X|S models feel great. Once you put them in your hands the hand/finger placement feel very natural.
Having played on the PS5 controllers, I can say that the xbox controllers are way better.

They don’t make them like they used to do anymore. I have had this controller now for 3 months and the sticks drift uncontrollably, the buttons stick and this controller has been kept in excellent condition as you can see from the photos I’ve shared. My last controller lasted well over a year and before that one they lasted just about as long as the console did. They just don’t seem to be using quality parts any longer. Might as well start buying the cheapest ones because more than likely they will need replacing sooner than later now days.

This Xbox Controller was just what I needed! My controller that came from factory just gave out and this one is way better than the stock Xbox One S controller.

It's a great controller with an amazing paint job. I love the writing and the coloring. On a mechanical level the grips are the best ive seen on an xbox controller and that includes the elite. Best xbox controller of all time in my opinion.

One of the most gorgeous controller officially released yet! The back texture is on par with Horizon one, which give you extra edge on holding them and playing with triggers. There are many Easter egg touches here and there. Money well spent!

Very sturdy and cool! Not bad any issues setting it up for Windows.

I purchased the Microsoft Xbox Series Wireless Controller (Shock Blue) for my nephew for Christmas so he can have an additional controller for his Xbox One S. The main thing that I he likes about it is the stippled texturing on the triggers and the back of the controller. The bumpers and triggers have a matte finish, which he says more nicer to him. There's a new share button on the center of the controller, which from what he said makes it easier to save screenshots and video clips. One press for screenshot or hold for video clip. Also, to view recent clips you can fouble press the share button to see them. My nephew is an avid gamer and has been since birth and loves playing Fortnite. He gets sweaty hands after long sessions of gaming and the grip on the controller helps. He can experience incredible intensity, precision and comfort of the Xbox Wireless Controller and also feel vibration feedback and jolts in high definition which he loves! The controller is wireless and fits perfectly on a rechargeable battery holder. The controller itself fits comfortably in his mid-sized hands and the triggers are very responsive.
The main differences are the feel of the controller itself and the D-pad. It now has a lot more textured feeling, which extends to the bumpers and triggers. The bumpers used to be glossy and slippery and now they're more of a matte finish. The D-pad returns to the more "paddle" like one from the Xbox 360 but is much improved from that version and feels tight and clicky instead of wobbly. It also is very responsive with a satisfying mechanical feel and is faster and more responsive than the XB1 controller This controller has USB-C instead of Micro USB, Better texture on the handles, Grippy triggers, Built in Bluetooth, and a new D-Pad. It includes Xbox Wireless and Bluetooth technology for wireless gaming on supported consoles. Such as, Windows 10 PCs, Android phones, and tablets. Hopefully iOS support coming in the future. There is also a 15 day Xbox Game Pass included. Barring the elite controller, this is hands-down my nephew's favorite controller for any console to date. Well done, Microsoft you out done yourself with this one!

Controller functions great and I love the color! The textured grip and feel of the trigger buttons is such an improvement over the standard xbox controller. Even the texture on the joysticks is an improvement. I bought this controller "open box" and it seemed brand new, minus one little scuff which i was able to wipe off easily.

I’ve been using a cheap off-brand controller for the past 3 years and have been looking into getting a new controller for a while now. When I saw the Starfield one come out I ordered it right away. I’ve been playing with it for two days now and I love it! Feels great, has a great weight to it, and is cool to look at.

This controller is a nice upgrade. The controllers build quality is fantastic, feeling pretty premium with a solid feeling to it. It has much better grip than the previous xbox controllers. The plastic seems to be similar to the one used for the consoles, being a bit more premium feeling with a textured finish. I honestly loved the xbox one x controller and the series x is a seemingly small but noticeable improvement.

My husband absolutely loves it! I made this purchase on June 11, 2023 (the WEEK of OUR WEDDING!) and now it’s 2025, we’re purchasing a laptop for him on January 23 at around 11:00! What are the odds??? Just WOW! But overall, he really enjoys gaming and Best Buy has proven to be reliable with all our game-related purchases. We look forward to buying more in 2025!

Always reliable and works great. This is the third one I have purchased from Best Buy. They last a long time.

Sweet controller! Like the OG version and brand new! These just came out and got it for cheaper than a regular one! Needed a new hockey controller for the series X, grip feels great, little heavier than original controller but the grip on the Thumb-sticks and back of the handles are very much like elite controller but for sports the elites thumb-sticks are terrible. Thank you Best Buy was a steal for Black Friday!!
