    Minor additions from the previous iteration, but they say "if it ain't broke don't fix it". So more of the same. Decent texture grip. A little too noisy and plasticky with the D pad but no complaints as I picked it up on discount. Color is great too.

    It feels good in the hands but honestly feels a little cheap. The color is super vibrant. I gave it a 4-star review because I think it's absolutely crazy that this generation of controllers does not come with a rechargeable battery from the factory.
