    I bought this controller as replacement for Xbox controller that went bad. It has been working well without any issues. I also was able to set it up with PC as well but with time I went with different controller for PC use. Overall it provides basic but quite reliable functionality. Overall I do recommend it as replacement for Xbox controller, but for PC there are better options out there.

    This Xbox Wireless Controller feels great in the hands—lightweight but sturdy, with a responsive button layout and smooth triggers. The wireless connection is rock solid with no lag, and I love that it can switch easily between Xbox and PC. The textured grips make long gaming sessions comfortable, and the color options are a fun bonus. A must-have if you need a second controller or want to upgrade from an older one.

    The newest xbox controller is (in my opinion) far more comfy. Newer D pad design is super functional too. I love the improvements in this design over the One controllers.
