    This product is a good one. It is an Xbox series x controller and works pretty much as advertised. What is a problem though, is if you play on pc you will be forced to buy an additional accessory. When using this controller without it, there will be consistent disconnections while you're playing. Dualshock controllers do not have this issue.
