    Great color and no drifting! The color is vibrant and doesn’t flake off.

    Bought as a Christmas gift for my son. Really liked the blue color. Different than the usual black we purchase. Good buy before the holiday. Happy with purchase.

    Controller as far as fulfillment by Best Buy was perfect. Came on time as described. However, this is the second next gen Xbox controller I have bought in 6 months and both have the wireless connectivity issues which apparently are known by Microsoft and apparently have a fix coming and/or are already fixed on pc which is what I use mine for, yet I have tried all of the troubleshooting fixes and still have the same problems. Luckily both of my laptops have multiple usb 3.0 ports and when playing at a desk I don’t need to be farther than my longest cable will reach, but when you buy a WIRELESS product you expect to be able to use it WIRELESSLY. While I understand that this is no fault of Best Buy I do wish they would at least add a warning or something to prospective buyers being this is a WELL-KNOWN issue at this point and I imagine when trying to use an actual Xbox with these the hardwiring would be much more of an annoyance.

    Love the textured grips with the newer models. D-pad changes are also nice and give the controller more of the look of the elite controller as well. Good overall!
