    It feels like they shrunk the base controller design ever so slightly so those with larger hands may find it a bit uncomfortable at first. The added rubber on the grips is an absolute improvement on the base design. Graphics are awesome!

    This controlling is amazing and is comfortable the moment you pick it up. The Robot White color looks really sleek as well. 4 stars because I've experienced a few disconnects from my PC when paired via bluetooth; however, I recently updated the controller's firmware through the Xbox Accessories app, and this seems to have addressed the issue.
