    I actually got this for free as a part of a bundle. Gave it to my kids who go through Xbox controllers like they are going out of style. So far this one has held up fine. It is just the typical Xbox Series X/S controller, However it works fine on the Xbox One series as well, just seems better built than those series original controller

    I was pleasantly surprised by this controller, I thought the series x controllers were identical to xbox one controllers. The recessed grip on the thumbsticks is a noticeable improvement over the last gen and the type c port is a welcome addition.

    I have this connected to my Steam Deck and it works well. Every once in a while a couple of the controls won't respond and I'll have to restart the whole system again. But that's seldom, just something to be aware of that can happen.
