    On launch day, I was very happy to secure a XBOX Series X - a hugely in demand next generation console. I was able to get the unit from a company that has a red and white bullseye as its corporate logo. Based on observing the difficulty in which people are having getting the console, I figured there might be supply-demand issues for other critical components such as this product so I purchased on during Best Buy Black Friday Thanksgiving special. So far this product has remained in its box (unopened). I did get a sizeable discount on this product with the Best Buy Thanksgiving Sale special pricing. I have been using the black controller that came with the console and enjoy it very much. My only fear is that the controller might suffer the same irregular potentiometer drift issue that I experienced with the previous XBOX console generation (XBOX One X). I have about 5 controllers and all but 1 suffered from that annoying drift issue which made many game unplayable such as COD:MW where tight control of the analog stick is imperative. If the stick in neutral position is drifting, it is very difficult to overcome that during gameplay.

    Love xbox controllers, been playing for years. The newer versions are getting worse and worse. I dont throw my controllers so its not that. Just normal use. The sticks just wear down and start to drift badly. About 60 days and it happens. At least 5 controllers in a row.

    Using the controller for gaming on my Windows 10 PC. It is a really nice controller to use. Perfect weight and balance. I also like the texture and feel of it. Buttons and sticks work very well and perfectly calibrated out of the box. Plus the red color is just cool! Still on first set of batteries after a month of regular use.

    It's a Xbox Controller which are usually great. This one is no different, I think includes additional texture surface underneath the hand holds. Well it sync'd with no problem on my PC. Battery life is excellent as I'm still 60% and it's been a month.
