    Microsoft makes the best controllers, in my opinion. They work for consoles and PC. On top of that, the color is beautiful! I love this controller!

    Great feel to this controller and very responsive buttons. My kids use it to play their games and unfortunately drop it frequently. However, the durability is so solid it hasn't damaged the controller which is very pleasing. It takes a beating and still works while I play during my meetings :)

    Great quality and easy to use. Also very easy to clean, since it is white, it can get dirty after being on a little boy’s hands.

    The newest xbox controller is (in my opinion) far more comfy. Newer D pad design is super functional too. I love the improvements in this design over the One controllers.

    It is what it is, a really nicely made gaming controller... Nothing special but when on sale it's a great value. Tough too, my kid has dropped it repeatedly and it's still kicking.
