    The only reason I purchased this controller was because of the color. But, I haven’t used it because Ive kept myself busy with school and work. It’s still a nice controller.

    Starfield controller looks great. Arrived just as promised. It was very easy to install. I like that it has its own personal screensaver, which is different than any game controller I have owned before.

    While the Dual Sense is definitely more of what you might think of when a next gen controller is mentioned, I still love the new design for the Xbox controller... it's really close to the previous iteration, but has small improvements that make it feel a lot better when you're playing a game. In the end, if it ain't broke...
