    Best console controller. I Use this on my xbox series x as well as gaming laptop and I love it. The customizable triggers, the textured grips and goodbye batter packs. Comes with a nice case that can also charge the controller.

    He is in love with this controller, so glad I got it for him. Now he never wants to use a regular controller again. I like how it comes with the hard charging case and that you can change out the buttons. Pricey but worth it in the long run.

    The highest quality control we I've ever purchased. Microsoft outdid their self with everything from the box it comes in. The case to protect it. And the magnetic charger and type c charge port. Feels unbreakable in your grasp.

    Fantastic series 2 core controller

    First off I’ve had a regular series 2 controller when it launched back in November 2019. It was the best off the best. I never used the paddles on the back and rarely used the case it came in. The right bumper button started to not register 3 years later. So i picked this core series 2 up and it has a smaller form factor like the new S/X controllers have and i live that. Slightly smaller than the regular series 2. It is identical to the other minus case, , paddles, and a few different thumb sticks which i really liked. You can get those other accessories later on if you want and save sum money.

    Normally these controllers work fine but as of late I've had issues with two I've purchased. Both were brand new but where can you get a controller even close to this and it not effect your gaming
