    A great factory replacement for the Xbox series-S or Bluetooth capable PC. My only complaint if I had to make one would be that for the price it should have an internal battery but hey that’s Microsoft for you.

    I got a better price at Best Buy than I saw anywhere else online. Which is perfect, because this is the only controller that works for XBOX X Series. These controllers are like the Tesla of game controllers. I highly recommend these. Worth the investment!

    I have loved the feel of the Xbox controller since the original Xbox. I didn't even mind the "Duke" controller but the controller really hit it's stride with the 360 controller and has only gotten better. The Series X/S controller just feels great in my hand.

    Found this online for sale for 10 dollars off and had been looking for one for about a year. For it being brand new (not refurbished) that's the best deal your going to find any where. Believe me I looked and looked and pounced on this deal when it popped up. Thanks Best Buy

    The controller is a bit smaller so it’s easier for kids to grab a hold of it. I like that cause my granddaughter loves using it. It’s also very responsive and comfortable in the hand. Very well designed. Great job XBOX!!
