    Best color. Dumb looking but great D-pad. Comfy and practical for big hands. I watched bridge on the river Kwai and didn’t realize the controller was still in my hand until the 2 hour mark. The future is now.

    Once I got the right cable for this - a type C - I was able to get it up and running for steam. Although I’d previously defaulted to PlayStation style controllers, this one is very comfortable and responsive.

    I really enjoy the new little changes that’ve been made. The subtle grip on the back is nice, USB-C is appreciated, and the controller is overall slightly smaller so it’s similar but a bit of a nice refresh.

    This product is a good one. It is an Xbox series x controller and works pretty much as advertised. What is a problem though, is if you play on pc you will be forced to buy an additional accessory. When using this controller without it, there will be consistent disconnections while you're playing. Dualshock controllers do not have this issue.
