    My grand daughter loved this controller. She said it was an upgrade from her old one and was really excited. Since she only received for Christmas, time will tell how it holds up under use.

    The new controller comes with grip along back and triggers for added grip. Other than the new share button the remote remains the same but it can be used for both the new xbox and xbox one.

    As a current PS5 owner, I will say the one thing Microsoft knocked out of the park is their controllers. I have always preferred Xbox controllers over Playstation ones. Something about the size and staggered thumbstick that just works. Now full disclaimer I have giant monster hands so that might be why.

    The controller feels really good in your hands. I like the textured grip on both of your hands. I was able to get this on sale too. Really good to have a backup controller for your series x.
