    The newer Xbox Series X controllers are a slight step up from the original Xbox One controllers. Microsoft finally addressed the issue with the commonly frail Micro-USB ports, and replaced them with the now more-common USB-C connector. Other changes include a slight redesign in shape, but still feels great in the hand. The new D-pad works great when navigating menus in-game. For this particular controller, the blue color scheme is a nice change of pace from the standard Black/White set of controllers Microsoft has been selling for years.

    The quality of the material, the smooth connection and the vibration feedback are great. The only downside is that it's not rechargeable and you have to install batteries. It also works fine with PC.
