    The newer Xbox Series X controllers are a slight step up from the original Xbox One controllers. Microsoft finally addressed the issue with the commonly frail Micro-USB ports, and replaced them with the now more-common USB-C connector. Other changes include a slight redesign in shape, but still feels great in the hand. The new D-pad works great when navigating menus in-game. For this particular controller, the blue color scheme is a nice change of pace from the standard Black/White set of controllers Microsoft has been selling for years.

    Good controller at a good price for Cyber Monday. I've purchased all of our controllers at BB because they tend to have more regular specials that other stores.
