    This is the pinnacle of "if it ain't break don't fix it" approach to controller design. If you ever owned a xbox controller before this should feel right at home. USB C is a great bonus. Only problem I had was playing on PC with some older games - the control mapping seems to be messed up - B is mapped to A and X is mapped to Y and etc. Very annoying, otherwise a great buy.

    Good controller. Always get the insurance on these because eventually they will start to drift.

    It's a great controller overall. The shoulder buttons are much better than they were on the XBO gamepad. Only thing I don't like is that controller feels slightly smaller. Although you stop noticing it after a while.

    Love the color. Works like the other controllers I needed an extra one. The new controller is a good upgrade not a fan of the D pad but like the textured back and buttons. If you have an Xbox one, this controller is very familiar.

    I didn’t have to write my review in November 17, 2022. It was my first time. Red was way nice I had seen it. I liked it. I had some Xbox one controllers.

    Replaced a worn down XoneX controller with this. So far it works great. The textured grip is nice along with some texture on the triggers and bumpers. If I had a complaint it'd be that it feels a little lighter than previous models.
