    XBOX 360 controllers were starting to wear out, and these are a great replacement. I can't find any third party controllers that feel as good or last as long as Microsoft controllers. A little expensive but I think it's worth it because they do last. Very responsive and don't suffer any drifting like many others do. Problem I find though is batteries don't seem to last quite as long as Xbox 360 ones I had for years.

    Amazing colors, grip feels so much better. Upgraded dpad (similar to the elite controllers, just not detachable) all around great upgrade or additional controller! Share button is great if you like to show off your achievements and game play.

    My husband and I kept mixing up our black controllers so he thought a pink one for me would clear up the issue. It did. I love the controller. It’s a newer one than what I had so it has texture on the handles for grip. Never drop it.
