*** Buyer Beware! Good looks BAD quality! ***
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love this controller. I bought it because the see transparent red plastic looked awesome and reminds me of the 90's and all the see-through tech of that era. However, that's the only good thing that I can say about the controller. I only owned it for 5 months before it started having insufferable stick drift! While I'm playing a game, it just randomly starts to look up to the ceiling and I'm constantly having to bring it back down. Also, I'm not rough with my controllers and I only game like 3 days a week for a couole of hours. Anyway, no matter how many times I took it apart to clean it, nothing worked! This is by far the most expensive and worst xbox controller I've ever owned. I still have the controller that came with my Xbox Series S when I bought it 4years ago, and its a little worn, but still works perfectly. I also think that's what upsets me the most. It's not just the stick drift, it's he fact that I didn't even need a new controller. I just bought this one because I loved the look of it. Unfortunately, though not only was it more expensive than any xbox controller I've ever had, it was also by far the worst quality. And now, after reading the reviews, I'm seeing many one star reviews from gamers that say the same thing about the stick drift problems, so I know that I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Microsoft needs to do better. Especially if we are paying premium prices for these "special edition " controllers.

Only controller worth owning for Xbox Series X
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as huge an improvement as PS4 to PS5, but this is a really good controller and still better over the already good controllers for Xbox One. You can use your own AA batteries as well, with great battery life to boot.

Over all a good choice
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just a great overall controller. Pretty durable but the can be a bit pricey. $60 to $70 each is a bit much for just the controller.

Improved feel
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mostly play rocket league on PC so a good controller that interfaces with my PC is important. I like the feel of these newer controllers more than the old feel. There is a rough/gripped back that feels really good in hand.
