    Bought this to connect to a PC--I'm not really a console player. Had no problem connecting to my Windows 10 PC. Works great for RPGs where you may not necessarily want to use keyboard and mouse.

    Such a pretty controller! Love that you just open the box, pop batteries in and it’s good to go! Honestly nothing beats Xbox controllers. I’ve tried so many different ones that end up confusing me because I grew up using Xbox.
