    Great looking controller. I bought this for My Pc. Make sure you download the app Xbox accessories for it to work. By rechargeable batteries for the controller. For some reason regular batteries will drain faster in this controller.

    Cool design with a smooth texture. The controller seems to be ever so slightly larger than my other controllers, and can have connectivity issues when using the rechargeable battery packs.
