    - The new blue is very vibrant and really pops with the white backing. - The textured feel is great for grip when hands get a little sweaty during prolonged gaming sessions. - The new D-pad design feels better than the old design from past models. - Feels great in the hand and feels very solid compared to the last couple runs of the Xbox One old style controllers. If you really like the blue the extra $5 is worth it. I personally love how it looks and don't regret paying the small difference in cost between this one compared to the other two colors in white and black.

    Great controller. The blue is a little lighter in person but not too much different. It still looks really good and feels good in your hands. The series x controllers really feel great in your hands. They may not have as many features as the ps5 controller but they are definitelykre comfortable and durable. They use a USB c plug now so when using the rechargeable battery pack it charges very quickly. All in all great controller you can't go wrong with any of the color choices but I personally like blue so this is my winner.

    Great controller for PC gaming as well as Xbox

    Great controller for PC gaming and I presume for XBOX as well. The texture on the hand grips definitely helps with keeping the controller stable during those intense firefights. The control sticks feel comfortable and don't require a lot of movement to direct. The new d-pad is definitely a step up from the older XBOne d-pad. I've been using this since early November for primarily 3rd person shooters and racing games. The difference in input response in wireless mode versus plugged in is negligible. I do like that Microsoft built this controller with USB-C for the connector. The only real complaint I have is that the controller still doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery. So you'll need to get rechargable for this if you don't want to be replacing alkalines. Also, the purple shimmer effect on the shell is absolutely amazing. Pros: -Comfortable rubber textured grips -Comfortable rubber textured sticks -Improved d-pad -USB-C connector for wired play and charging on some battery packs. -Works on Xbox One, Series S and X, and PC. -Bluetooth connection is stable on Windows 11 Cons -No built-in battery pack, will need to buy rechargeables or invest heavily in alkalines depending on play time.

    Great controller for PC gaming

    Works exactly as intended and has that crisp, snappy xbox feel I know and love from my teen years. Paired flawlessly with my PC, unlike years past where an xbox was required for firmware updates. Process was easy this go around :) I chose this over the elite series because despite the elite series feeling ASTOUNDING in hand, with tension control etc, eventually the joysticks will drift. It's just a hardware limitation and inevitable. I agree with using the hardware they do; it is better while it lasts. But I cannot justify a controller at 3x the cost for how casually I personally utilize one. If they ever make the controller module based or easily home repairable and sell replacement parts, I'm in. But for now I am very happy with this guy! The clear plastic is extremely nostalgic for me; reminds me of my OG xbox controller S in transparent green :)

    My girlfriend bought this more me as a Christmas gift last year. A year later and it has held up with how much I game. The controller feels great and the vibrant color adds so much pop. I have actually stopped using my Playstation 4 controller and have prefered using Xbox controller instead. Absolutely solid controller and would love to buy more!

    Good controller, first one had bad stick drift and didn’t uphold but the second one has been fairly decent. Although the design controllers are a little expensive and just as god as their basic solid color ones.

    I picked up the Xbox Blue Camo controller from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier. The aesthetic is fantastic. the shades of blue look much better in person than in the photos. It added some flair to my setup. The functionally is top-notch and the bluetooth connectivity to my Xbox series X is seamless. Highly recommend.

    I bought this for playing Forza 6 at steam. Since Forza is a Microsoft product, it is very good match. Comparing with other controllers, it is very competitive. Not saying the best controller but it is a good controller especially for Forza 6.

    The overall design is gorgeous. Love the color shift, and the pattern on the grip is nice. Has excellent weight and feel compared to some of the off brands I’d gotten recently. My only issue is the little skipping heartbeat of lag it has at times as far as connectivity or responsiveness. It is not consistent but it is noticeable. I use it on Bluetooth connection to my PC. Not enough of a problem so far to be a real concern.

    Honestly it feels like a heavier duty controller and it holds well with the rubberized grips. The design is something that had me really liking it, but overall would definitely recommend this controller.
