    It's a pearlescent blue paint job!

    It's an XBOX controller with a paint job and a higher price - would a plain black one work just as well for 2/3rd's the price? Sure. But your 11 year old won't be as happy.

    This controller lasted about 5 months with lite to medium use. The left joystick stopped fully performing despite trying to clean it. Overall good controller but these should come with a one year warranty, but do not

If it's within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Dead after only 1 year of very light use...

    Just inexplicably died a few months out of warranty. Worked fine and all while it lasted but suddenly just died one day during normal use. Virtually no damage to the outside, tested reset troubleshooting, batties, USC-C connection, etc. It just ceased to work just because. Neither microsoft nor Best Buy offer any out of warranty repairs so you're just stuck with this expensive controller that no one will fix for less than what it costs brand new. I have 5 other controllers like it (different colors) working just fine but I guess this red one just happened to be cursed.

    It’s Microsoft, their controller is compatible with almost anything. Still durable and the inclusion of USB-C is a breath of freeh air.

    I bought this for my boyfriend and when he connected it to play he loved how there’s so much more vibration to it to make it feel more real. And it’s his favorite color.

    Controller works great like any other controller. I really like the matte finish on the controller compared to the glossy finish on the controller that came with my series s. But my right trigger has already broken which is very unfortunate. It still works but it doesn’t work like the left trigger.

    My controller has really bad connectivity issues on my Windows 10 PC. I went to Best Buy to request an exchange and they were going to charge me the difference between the sale price I purchased at and regular retail price. This seems like poor practice.
