    Feels good in the hand, and has good response. Definitely worth getting if a new controller is needed. So far, the quality and durability has been good and reliable, and I haven't run into any issues yet!

    Controller smaller than last generation. Aiming for younger crowd. Has a better grip in the back. The d pad is nice but feels a little plasticky and a little cheap. But still good.

    Love the color and design. Really great controller, but does lack some of the latest and greatest features of a dual sense. Still the best design (highly prefer asymmetrical sticks)

    Bought to replace an old controller where the buttons were a bit messed up. The new feel of the xbox controller is better than the older ones. The traction on the grips is a bonus.
