    The man loves it. His favorite part is the fact that the trigger and certain other parts of the controller are like engraved and have a cool texture. It grips perfectly in his hands! He still has to get used to playing with a new controller but he loves it so far!

    Not sure why I did not upgrade a year ago. This controller just feels better in your hands. The sticks are tight and work better than the original. You will not be dissatisfied.

    I like that the kids can have there own color. No more frighting over a controller because they think one works better than the other. They pick there color and its done.

    Small upgrade from the previous gen but definitely better. The textured grip is great for longer use so the controller doesn’t feel like it will slip when using for a long period of time (especially if your hands get clammy). Glad to see they finally upgraded to USB-C for charging and connection. I use this with my pc and plug it in with USB-C but you can also connect through Bluetooth. Dpad redesign has a nice feel as well

    Good controller from Xbox. It is a good option to play those 3A games such as Forza Horizon.
