    Bought this to replace an original that died. Little more comfortable than the one it replaced and so far has been working fine. One thing I will say (and thus the reason I dinged it a star) is that it seems like it goes through the batteries faster than the old one did. We still have gotten a pretty decent bit of use out of it, but it's enough to be noticeable.

    Bought this as a backup in case the original that comes packed with the XSX were to stop working in that worst timing that happens sometimes. Picked this color because from the pics it looked awesome, was worried the real thing would not reflect the pics but I was happy it does. Looks awesome in person & the color 2 tone scheme is awesome. Been using this one instead of the 1 that came with the unit.
