    If you are excited about the new Starfield game, this is a great controller with haptic feedback, the Starfield logo, and the buttons labeled with SF game functions.

    This is a great lightweight controller. I have owned many of them They only last 6 to 18 months before a button goes bad. I recommend buying the warranty.

    This controller is almost the same as the old Xbox One controller. Only thing new I like is the directional buttons. The new directional buttons are very nice for spamming combos in fighting games. Still pretty expensive though for a controller without an internal battery.

    Microsoft can’t be beat when it designs a controller that feels as good to use as it looks. Feedback is great and inputs are responsive.

    Really no difference than the Xbox one controllers. One exception is the USB to charge rechargeable batteries(not included). Instead of a micro USB is now USB C. Love the feel of the controller for gaming. Faster shipping than what Best Buy said it would arrive. Very pleased!

    Decent Overall; Disappointing Win10 Performance

    I bought this with a discount, and it wouldn't be worth the MSRP without it. I was hoping this controller would have fewer Windows 10 Bluetooth connectivity issues than the Xbox One controller, but they're the same. The PS4 controller (without native Windows support or drivers) connects to Bluetooth and syncs with the PC faster than this current-gen Microsoft one. Nonetheless, this controller (when eventually paired) works as it should.

    Do these get slightly smaller every generation? Time for a XL version for those with adult man hands.
