    Amzing controller and the palm grips felt grippy without it being like sand paper. The triggers feel good as well.

    Xbox controllers are the best, I’m an avid PlayStation player but when I need a controller for my PC it’s Xbox every time. Synced right up and has textured grips that make the controller feel more pleasant.

    Nothing fancy here, it works well and we don’t have issues with any Xbox controllers themselves. Only thing we have issues with is the rechargeable batteries don’t last very long before they start dying fast.

    Best Xbox Controller I’ve purchased. And I’ve purchased all the wireless ones. Batteries seem to last longer. Not sure if it’s true of them all but, definitely a solid Controller.

    I was excited to receive this new controller however upon playing it for a few seconds the buttons were extremely tight and it had a bit of drifting to it. I don’t blame Best Buy at all more the manufacturers of this product. I unfortunately had to give it three stars. It would’ve gotten all five if it worked properly. The design is great just the drifting and stuck buttons was disappointing.
