    The Xbox Series controller is the standard for a solid gaming controller. It’s a solid built quality controller with offset analog sticks feeling natural for movement in games.

    Controller is awesome! Much nicer then previous models and it has a dry carbon appearance which not only looks cool but feels better in your hands. I had the same controller from years ago and upgraded it and this new one was much better. Just wish they were cheaper!

    I've mainly been using this for my pc but its strong and very comfortable to use. Ive owned a lot of controllers and by far this is my favorite one. The grip on the backside is just so well done that it assist in long term use of the controller.

    Retains all regular features of an xbox controller. The bumps are on the grip which allows for more grip. Looks very nice.
