    It works well. Just as expected. I like when I can get customized items but when I can't it's nice when I can just purchase in my color of choice.

    Love the XBOX controller way better than the Play Station one. It’s a better feel and grip however my experience with both remotes is that XBOX controllers break more easily and often. Get the warranty!

    Wonderful feel with texturized grips. Buttons and triggers feel nice and malleable. Thumb sticks offer great movement. Whether they hold up is to be determined. Purchased on sale for 45$
