    Works smoothly with windows. The only issue is for some games, you need to plug in the physical cable.

    Great controller all around. This is by far the coolest design Xbox has done for a controller. An I’m not on the Starfeild hype train this is just a sick looking thing. The detail on the design controls is a nice touch as well. Got it for my PC looking forward to playing Starfeild with this.

    The Xbox Controller, Stellar Shift Special Edition, is an absolute delight. Its sleek and stylish design immediately catches the eye, with a stunning purple-to-blue gradient and a glossy finish that exudes elegance. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this controller offers an good gaming experience.

    XBOX 360 controllers were starting to wear out, and these are a great replacement. I can't find any third party controllers that feel as good or last as long as Microsoft controllers. A little expensive but I think it's worth it because they do last. Very responsive and don't suffer any drifting like many others do. Problem I find though is batteries don't seem to last quite as long as Xbox 360 ones I had for years.
