    I'm enjoying the controller the color is amazing and it's very comfortable in the hands you can get a good grip. I really like the dedicated screen shot button even though I don't really use it so for the people who take screenshots you'll really enjoy it.

    Controller feels really nice. I enjoy the extra grip on the triggers on the back. Just not a fan of the D-pad. Some people love it but it just feels cheap to me and I don’t enjoy it too much! If I could mix these controllers with the ps5 controller. Hallelujah!

    Got this in addition to my xbox series s because of the color. Being new to xbox world the controller feels nice. The buttons are stiff and responsive and I find it fits better in the hand than my PS4 controller (only other console gaming system).

    I love the design of the new controllers. They’re textured in all the right places, slightly smaller than the last gen, and super lightweight. The colors are amazing!

    Price was matched with a competition company and the look of it is great. Would recommend buying from BestBuy specifically, especially if a price match is available.

    I really liked the color of this controller. It has a better rubber grip on the back of the controller than the plain colored controller’s .

    The pictures of this controller do not do it justice, it so pretty with the clear casing and the gold buttons. I’d been wanting a new controller but hadn’t found one I liked I wasn’t expecting this one to be so pretty.
