    The controller itself is pretty average I would recommend spending more money on the latest model unless you really want usb-c charging and want better grips. I like the design of the D-pad. The controller is slightly smaller not very noticeable. The thumb sticks and buttons are I little stiff but you can break them in over time. The one I purchased, the Y button wasn't the most response and didn't click as great like the other buttons. Overall I would recommend just getting the Xbox one s model controller over the series x/s model until the price goes down.

    Stop sending me emails, its been 2 months. I am only writing this because this company has sent 6 emails to me asking to review. The service was perfectly fine. They did their minimum wage job to their full ability. Tell the software engineers' boss' boss that this is not how to improve consumer experience. -Sincerely yours, the guy who somehow has his bestbuy account set up under his fathers name
