    Bought it as a extra controller for my series x and it’s really nice blue color that stands out. Very nice quality and confortable in my rather large hands. Usually Microsoft quality

    Straight forward wireless controller for my XBox Series X console. Very easy to pair hardware. Recommend switching the batteries for a recharging one for a more dependable solution.

    Excellent controller. Feels great in hand and is comfortable to use during extended play. The controller feels very durable. The two-toned color (blue in front, white in back) looks great.

    Have had this for a couple months now, very good quality. It's not as pretty as the pictures made it look (the blue is closer to a blue-ish grey), but the travel distance for the bumpers and triggers is just a little shorter than the Xbox One controllers and it has a nice grip texture on many of the surfaces that just feel good.

    The games I'm generally into rarely have tie-ins like this so I was hyped when the was announced and ordered it immediately. Was impressed by all the little details (even inside the battery compartment) that they put into it. My preferred tie-in merchandise is stuff that looks like it came from within the universe and this really looks like a piece of equipment that might be on a Constellation ship. Very happy with it.
