    I'm very glad the new controllers have rubberized grips. It's been huge for someone who often struggles with slippery sides/back with the Xbox one version. The color of the controller itself really sets it apart from my friend's black controllers. The package was shipped and arrived in excellent condition exactly when expected.

    I'm using this controller with a Microsoft PC USB wireless adapter that I already had with no issues. The controller synced on the first try and has good range. No issues seen, even when using other Microsoft controllers with one adapter for "couch co-op." The grips are a little more secure in your hand than the older Xbox One controllers, but still comfortable. I'm a happy customer.

    Excellent controller that functions as intended. Love the added detail that the creators of this controller went to to see the inside of the controller throught the triggers. The design is beautiful and vibrant, and the textures of the design are wonderful as well. 10/10 controller, and is comparable to the Sea of Thieves and Titanfall special edition xbox controllers of the past.
