Nice small upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is almost the same as the old Xbox One controller. Only thing new I like is the directional buttons. The new directional buttons are very nice for spamming combos in fighting games. Still pretty expensive though for a controller without an internal battery.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Color, Feel
Great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my grandson and he loved it. The color was perfect. He's very tactile and he said it just felt awesome !!!
I would recommend this to a friend Same Ol' controller. Better grip with gaming
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really no difference than the Xbox one controllers. One exception is the USB to charge rechargeable batteries(not included). Instead of a micro USB is now USB C. Love the feel of the controller for gaming. Faster shipping than what Best Buy said it would arrive. Very pleased!

I would recommend this to a friend TomJr
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller for price for inexperience gang players.
I would recommend this to a friendDecent Overall; Disappointing Win10 Performance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this with a discount, and it wouldn't be worth the MSRP without it. I was hoping this controller would have fewer Windows 10 Bluetooth connectivity issues than the Xbox One controller, but they're the same. The PS4 controller (without native Windows support or drivers) connects to Bluetooth and syncs with the PC faster than this current-gen Microsoft one. Nonetheless, this controller (when eventually paired) works as it should.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood Buy

5 stars for casual gaming... 3 for serious gamers.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems like i only get about 5 months or so before i start getting stick drift. I've had to buy a new controller at least twice a year. I wish they would improve this. If youre not a serious gamer, 5 stars for sure.
