    I really enjoy the color for this controller but the grips feel strange on my hands after some binge gaming. It is as if the skin on my hands are getting blisters, definitely not getting blisters but still noticeable. With that being said this is still my go to controller.

    It’s a good, cheap controller. Better for teens with anger issues than the $160 controllers lol

    The controller looks really cool with the added touches and clear back triggers. Another great addition is the rubber grips on the back just make it feel more premium. Overall a great bug for collectors and someone looking for a cool controller.

    Good Xbox wireless controller, I’ve had it since 2022 and I have had no problems so far. I have dropped it and flung it more times than I can count, and still is in perfect shape. No delay, or loose buttons.

    Good controller. After a while it starts to drift and needs replaced. Cleaning with contact cleaner helps but still doesn’t seem to last.
