    No complaints, it's a good controller.

    I've been using this for a month and have had no problems with it. I use it exclusively for playing PC games. It's very comfortable to hold and the analog sticks feel good and there are minor improvements over the Xbox 360 controller (which is what I was using for nearly a decade before this when playing games on PC). The only issue I ran into was on the first day, I had to connect the controller to my PC via USB-c cable (not included, but you likely already have one for your smartphone) so it could download some kind of firmware update, but once that was taken care of everything has been working good since. I was a little concerned that it still uses AA batteries instead of a rechargeable battery like PlayStation and Switch controllers use, but the battery life is actually pretty good. Like I said I've been using this for a month and I'm still using the two batteries that were included with it, I haven't had to change them yet. As far as my ratings, the only reason I gave Value 4 stars instead of 5 is because I kinda miss the days where new controllers went for $40 (or less) and now they cost almost double that. But honestly if you're like me and just need a controller to game with on PC, this should be at the top of your list.

    Works great, it's an xbox controller. Not much to add. I'm a Nintendo fan, but even their pro controllers start to drift, and although still new, I feel like this controller is built better and wont drift. Plus I like that I can use it with my pc (very easily). Good deal with on sale.

    I purchased this on sale for my step son WHO LOVES playing Fortnite on his xbox One. Im glad this new controller works with both the new series X and the One series, because it has improved grips on the side bumper buttons, new improved joysticks and better D pad. Hopefully he will enjoy the new features. I also recommend an aftermarket rechargeable battery pack, as he has BLOWN THROUGH some AA batteries. : )

    My man goes through Xbox controllers like underwear but this one has by far lasted the longest. It’s affordable and great quality, seeing as how he’s already dropped it. I’m thinking about getting myself one so I can play the new Harry Potter game.

    If you like bold colors, this controller is for you! Love the color and overall design. I will say that the first one I bought had a few scratches on it right out of the box, but Best Buy was quick to replace it for a new one. My only complaint would be the price. You are paying extra for the color.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This is the most well-made Xbox controller I've owned so far. Its the newest design and it when i saw it on the shelf it reminded me of all the gaming devices from the 90's and early 2000's with its see-through look. Its super cool! AND it has golden triggers!

    Distinctive color (important to allow easy differentiation from my other, otherwise-identical controller), great ergonomics. I am using it to connect to myt WIndows (11) laptop, and it easily connects to the laptops built-in bluetooth (no need to purchase the special adaptor) with minimal lag. Most importantly it has excellent compatibility with my Steam games - no need to futz around with controller configurations and so forth. There are cheaper options out there, but nothing is worth the peace of mind and time saved due to this controller's excellent out of the box compatibility.

    Yep. Works like a new xbox controller. Its blue. Like the color. And hard like you'd expect from a traditional controller. The buttons allow you to move left, right, up, and down. The joy sticks go round and round like your head spinning after a night on the town. There's letters too! Don't even need to know the whole alphabet, just 4 letters. Just how I like it. So yea, overall,nice remote.
