    Good remote. Looks good and works well and connected easily. Only problem we ever had was it would disconnect sometimes and reconnect in the middle of games. Not sure a remote problem or Xbox problem but it hasn’t been doing it recently so it might have been just a little glitchy moment. Everything else is great.

    I would have given this 5 stars because you cannot use rechargeable batteries in it as you have to buy a specific battery for that. Also the first one I purchased I had to return because one of the buttons was a little faulty.

    Works great with PC on bluetooth. I’m assuming it should work great with Xbox as well!
