    Works great and as expected. Hopefully it lasts more than two years. I don't rage game and I don't think this controller could withstand a throw. But it is good quality otherwise.

    This has better grip and feels better in hand than the old controller. The record button is pointless and I find myself hitting it accidentally quite often. The new D pad is nice. Will see how it holds up over time.

    Bought this for use on both my PC and Xbox Series X. The Xbox One versions were already solid but I like the D-Pad here a little better since it feels more comfortable to press. Otherwise, sticks and buttons work fine, works well over Bluetooth and Microsoft's proprietary Xbox Wireless connection, and I like the fact that I can replace my AA batteries without having to worry if my stuff is holding a charge or not.

    Works just like the other Xbox controllers but with the additional camera button added to it. My only complaint would be that if you are an larger adult, then the controller may hurt your hands after hours of play.
