    Works great and batteries last a good time frame since I bought it with the console about a month ago. Very glad the controllers are tough to endure accidental drops.

    This is the newest version of the controller and it's really nice. Small improvements over the previous version, but this one feels very solid. Love the color too.

    Looks cool. Got it on sale. Surprisingly more durable than the regular controllers, which is weird since it's basically just a reskin.

    It's an Xbox controller so you know what your getting. I bought this because my kids broke one of our other controllers after years of hard use. This one is holding up well so far.
