    I had an older xbox one controller and wanted to get a new one. This was well worth it, it feels so much better and the type c cable is great.

    The controller has more grip with the back of the handles and triggers textured but the triggers and now placed lower than the previous Xbox one model which kinda cramp my finger pressing it compared to the older last gen version. The usb type c port is great though.
