    The new Xbox controller feels SO MUCH better than the older models. I used to have to buy rubber skins to keep a grip on the old controller because of sweating, but the new controller comes with grips on the back of the handles to create friction while playing intensely! Would recommend to a friend.

    My original controller literally fell apart, this is an upgrade in design and quality. Features extra button to record screen capture of clip capture. Also has more grip on handles. I didn't care about color, some colors are cheaper than others for some reason.

    Real nice controller. Seems to use up the rechargeable battery a little more. I don't know could just be me. But It is a nice controller. It is a real nice controller. One of the better controllers that I own. Hope that you get the same reaction that I have because it really is a nice controller

    Works great as a brand name thing. I just remember when these were 20 and 70 can be steep. Plus sometimes I prefer an optional plug to connect/charge with my pc, rather than batteries.

    Perfect! This controller is exactly what my kiddo wanted and he loves it and it’s durable and holds up to a kid playing with it. It was a bit expensive though.

    The grip on this new controller has a much more stable feel to it than the 'Project Scorpio Edition' controller that came with that Xbox One X console's arrival. And it's dimensions seem to make for a slightly bigger controller. With that being said, I prefer this new controller over the former.

    I'm using this with my XBOX Series X. The neon color is fantastic. I've dropped it at least 10 times and its very durable. Stick drift is real on every controller I've had. I anticipate this will have the issue over time, but so far so good.
