    Great quality controller I’ve had it about a year and no issues. Usually with controllers specifically PlayStation I’ll get a drift stick issue. I’ve not had any issues with the Xbox controllers. I love it

    Given the sale price I purchased this at ($35) dollars its a no brainer to pick this up if you need an extra controller for your Xbox (whichever flavor) or want to use it for PC. Missing the bells and whitsles of the Elite but of course it does given the $100 price disparity.

    These new series x controllers work with any Xbox one consoles. Don’t waste time with any other version. The quality of this controller is fantastic and I love the new grip. It’s a very responsive controller.

    Love the design and the color! The matte blue looks great and the finish is smooth with a nice grip for competitive gaming! I love the fact that you can use the new gen controllers on last gen consoles as well, and vice versa!

    Overall these new controllers are well designed and feel greatly improved. And the haptic feedback while gaming seems more precise however i have seen issues with them disconnecting from the console while playing.

    I really love this controller; it has good feel and the easter eggs on it are really sweet. As a big Doom fan, this is one of the best skins for a controller.

    Bought this to connect to a PC--I'm not really a console player. Had no problem connecting to my Windows 10 PC. Works great for RPGs where you may not necessarily want to use keyboard and mouse.
