    Well worth it! Has a grippy texture to the back. Batteries go pretty quickly but pretty sure it my own fault for leaving it on sitting it down

    This lasted almost two years with everyday, extensive use. We purchase the Geek squad replacement, and Best Buy simply exchanges for new one. Best deal ever

    Highly versatile controller that works great across multiple platforms, including Android (via both Bluetooth as well as the included USB-C cable, which you don't even need batteries to operate), Windows, and of course Xbox!

    Great controller but the buttons can stick overtime. I’ve had two of these same exact controllers and unlike the 360 controller, the series x’s buttons have gotten stuck or have become sticky over a brief period of time using them. If it wasn’t for that this would be my favorite controller of all systems.

    I like the color. Everything works well. It has a rubber grip on the bottom half of the grip area witch is really nice. But i think the rubber should go around the hand portion of the controller.
