    Love the look and feel of this controller (first time with one that has rubberized grips). Price is a bit high but but for the quality of this controller i feel its worth it.

    Easy to connect to existing console and no problems working. Goes through batteries pretty quickly, but that's nothing new for XBox.

    I got it on a discount for $38 with best buy points, I would say it is worth that much. Textured grip is a welcome improvement over the old model. USB C is also great. The new triggers I'm not a huge fan of, and it's slightly smaller than the old model.

    The color is AMAZING and the additional grips make it really comfortable to play long sessions. I added a new XBOX battery pack and the charging cable is long enough to play wired.
