    How's the we'll take Xbox? Then Microsoft build one of the better controllers. 4 a standard controller the performance is really good.. Overall control is pretty responsive. They do make better controllers. But they are. $50 to a $150 more extensive. If you're just a casual gamer. This controller will work perfect for you.

    Works as it should. Weird that they would not price match to another store as they said ‘the model number doesn’t match’ even though it was literally the same exact controller.
