    Xbox has come a long way with their controllers. This looks much better in person than it does online. The quality is great and my kid loved it.

    Controller is awesome! Much nicer then previous models and it has a dry carbon appearance which not only looks cool but feels better in your hands. I had the same controller from years ago and upgraded it and this new one was much better. Just wish they were cheaper!

    I made the mistake of purchasing this controller. I thought it was rechargeable. It's AA battery powered. With that being said, quality stick. Looks cool, comfortable in hand, and holds up well.
