    This is my favorite controller next to my Elite 2 controller I like the red hue used it really pops the white underneath grew on me I feel it makes the red standout more but harder to stay clean & it might yellow over after time. The new Series X controller is a mix between the original & elite controller it features the nice clicky bumpers & d-pad also the grip texture from the elite controller in a more comfortable smaller shape. I can’t recommend this enough if you’re on the fence do it you won’t regret it.

    Works exactly as expected. New textured grips behind handles and on triggers are very nice. Same weak sticks but how are you gonna combat designed obsolescence?

    Whereas I'll admit that I only bought this because as a Kentucky fan I wanted the blue and white color scheme, I can honestly say this is hands down the most comfortable controller I've ever held. Only slight updates were made to the previous xbox controller, but they are immediately noticeable in the hand. There is some new texturing to help with gripping the controller on the back and on the triggers. The D-pad going with a shield design is a significant upgrade and feels very much in-line with what you would get from an elite controller. I have noticed that there seems to be limited PC compatibility, but that will likely come with time and new updates.

    Replacement Controllers

    We buy at least one replacement Xbox controller each year for our kids. The controllers are comfy, work great for games, and are easy to use. But after about a year of daily play, the joysticks start acting up or buttons get sticky, and we have to replace them… gets expensive, but it’s best option we’ve found, so we keep buying them… Love that the color selections have increased and now include bright pinks, greens, blues, purples, etc.

    Controller works wonders as did the previous gen version. The new textures added to the controller add a great sense of tactility and makes gripping the controller easier as there are small groves to help with holding the controller during long gaming sessions. Being able to pair up to previous Xbox devices and receivers makes using this as simple as it could possibly be, It doesn't desert the old receivers. Downside, you do have to purchase a new rechargeable battery as you cannot use the old gen with this newer controller.

    A Vast Improvement

    Great feel, these are a fantastic improvement over the original model that debuted with the Xbox One. The D-pad feels nice and “click-y” like they should, and the slight abrasion feeling grips on the handles are a welcome treat for anyone. I feel like at this point Microsoft should offer controllers with a built-in rechargeable battery instead of having to purchase them separately, but this doesn’t take away from the quality or reliability of their controllers.

    This is just my personal experience, but I used to only use the PS controller, so I did not expect the Xbox controller to fit so snugly in my hands. The texture on the back helps with grip and feels nice. The vibrant red color is beautiful. I put in a rechargeable battery pack (also found on bestbuy), and the controller's weight also feels just right.
