    This is a good remote. It was free with my tv. It connected to my tv and Xbox very easily. It has a good feel and seems much better than my old controller.

    Needed a new controller and this color looked too good to pass up. Finally got a fresh start with crispy button presses.

    I wanted to love this controller. I bought it because the see transparent red plastic looked awesome and reminds me of the 90's and all the see-through tech of that era. However, that's the only good thing that I can say about the controller. I only owned it for 5 months before it started having insufferable stick drift! While I'm playing a game, it just randomly starts to look up to the ceiling and I'm constantly having to bring it back down. Also, I'm not rough with my controllers and I only game like 3 days a week for a couole of hours. Anyway, no matter how many times I took it apart to clean it, nothing worked! This is by far the most expensive and worst xbox controller I've ever owned. I still have the controller that came with my Xbox Series S when I bought it 4years ago, and its a little worn, but still works perfectly. I also think that's what upsets me the most. It's not just the stick drift, it's he fact that I didn't even need a new controller. I just bought this one because I loved the look of it. Unfortunately, though not only was it more expensive than any xbox controller I've ever had, it was also by far the worst quality. And now, after reading the reviews, I'm seeing many one star reviews from gamers that say the same thing about the stick drift problems, so I know that I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Microsoft needs to do better. Especially if we are paying premium prices for these "special edition " controllers.

    Works great either through Bluetooth or wired in! Make sure you have a type-c cord for it if you are gonna used it wired, and update the firmware for the controller so you don’t have any connectivity issues!

    My son really wanted a black controller but they were out of stock and we came home with this and his face lit up, he liked this more than the black one and now he uses this more than his older white controller.

    As good as a factory controller can be, only with a cool, blue color and it also has the weird, 'third button' for taking quick screens shots, if you're into that kinda thing. All in all, a good controler for the money.

    Great controller. I use it to play on PC. It feels sturdy and even has a bit of grip on the handles. I always liked the xbox controllers because they were a bigger size and just feels better. Got it on sale too so big plus.
