    I love this controller! This is now my main controller I use for the majority of playing my games. The color design was really smart and new and the rubber grips makes it a smooth controller to use. You should get it!

    The Xbox Wireless Controller is fantastic—it feels great in the hands, super responsive, and the build quality is usually solid. Unfortunately, mine broke after a few months, which was frustrating, but thankfully I had Best Buy's Total Tech! They replaced it, no questions asked, and I’m covered for up to two years. Knowing I have that kind of protection makes me feel a lot better about my purchase. If you’re picking one up, definitely consider adding Total Tech—it's totally worth it for peace of mind!

    Great Controller for the Xbox One X

    I bought this for the Xbox One X and it works great. The size of the newer controllers are a little smaller than what I have had before, but it doesn't affect anything. I really like the blue on this one and it is awesome. I don't angry game and I have never thrown a controller, so I can't speak to how well it works if you "drop" it. :)

    Considering that I would have given the Xbox One controller a 4/5, I think that this is a perfect 5/5 for what I want out of a controller. Assuming you have an Xbox One controller, I can compare it to the last generation. The Series controller is much sturdier in its design and ever so more plain looking. I like both those aspects the same. I also think that the largest selling point compared to the last gen is the new plastic on the triggers and the USB-C connection. Otherwise... it's more the same and that's fine. It's just better all around and is the level of premium that you would expect from Microsoft. I will say that the specific details for connecting it to a PC have always eluded me until now. I thought that because this controller DOES have BluTooth that that's all I ever needed to use. While you can, using it via BT doesn't allow the use of the trigger motors nor the audio port and that's where the Xbox Wireless Adapter comes in. I just wish that was more apparent.

    This controller is great! Versatile if you want to use it with the Xbox, PC, or Chromecast. Very sold construction, I don't feel like I could break it easily. Good button design and responsive. The fact that it still uses double A batteries is kind of weird and 1990s, I went ahead and bought some really good rechargeable ones - Panasonic Eneloop. That is an extra cost of ownership so one less star. Maybe so you aren't limited by the life of an internal battery, but for all the costs of batteries you could just buy another controller.

    This controller is great! Love the special colorway and love all the little details thrown in there. Definitely aorth it if you're a Starfield fan and want a unique controller. The color has been holding up to almost daily use

    Love the clear red color and the grips on the back of the controller make it very pleasant to hold. All in all a great experience and good controller if you’re looking for a new one. My only gripe is the need for double A batteries but that is a Microsoft thing.
