    Xbox Controller's always have excellent ergonomics and work well in my experience. They can tend to look pretty boring though with either generally dark colors or just some completely solid color throughout with only the thumbsticks being a different color. My dad has always liked the partially see through controllers though and I haven't really seen any until now. Made this an excellent Christmas present that he was quite happy with.
