    The controller looks really cool with the added touches and clear back triggers. Another great addition is the rubber grips on the back just make it feel more premium. Overall a great bug for collectors and someone looking for a cool controller.

    I love these controllers with the rubber textured grips! I only buy these controllers because it feels more comfortable to grip when playing. Unfortunately it seems microsoft only has them on special editions like the previous aqua shift contoller that is no longer available. Overall, this is a great controller that works like all other xbox controllers. I have a ps5 also and between the two controllers I still prefer an xbox controller.

    I mean... it's an Xbox controller. I wish they were available in the same size as the original ginormous Xbox controllers with the modern layout, but since they don't, this works pretty well. And it IS quite pretty.

    I Bought this to replace my original Xbox one controller and I would 110% recommend this to anyone the triggers now have grip and the controller keeps your hands cool to a certain degree and it’s feels a lot more comfortable in my hands being a big guy and having big hands I’ve had trouble finding a comfortable controller over the last few decades and this is perfect.
