    I purchased this for friends, family and a backup to my main controller in case it fails. It's the most comfortable controller for my personal hand size and grip. So far I haven't broken any of these like i used to with the older design.

    Another amazing controller from Xbox. Wonderful design that incorporates the Starfield esthetic. Great color choices and face plate markings. Solid controller like all the rest of the Xbox line. The clear trigger buttons are unique to this model and have never been done before.

    Great look, works as it should design is very drippy, stylish and feels good in hand would definitely shop with Best Buy in the future. Get a rechargeable battery pack this thing burns through batteries like a 5.0 mustang burns rubber.
