    I bought this for my eight-year-old son as a Christmas present this past year. Throughout his short life he’s going through approximately 16 1/2 Xbox controllers. Hopefully this one survives longer due to having a USB c port, which is always friendly. As Well as compatibility with his older Xbox and PC. Here’s to hoping this won’t last longer than the others.

    Not only is the design really strong on this controller but it actually is a rubber-like grip on the back which feels quite nice in your hands. All the other standard bells and whistles this version of Xbox controller a soreaent as expected.

    Xbox series X controllers are very comfortable in the hand and the improvements to texture around triggers and grips are very nice. Dpad is great and the impulse triggers are very responsive with feedback with games that support the feature. Color options are great with xbox providing these retail buy colors and design lab.
