    I really like the color of it, and the grip of the sticks!! Haven't had a single issue with this controller and i enjoy the grips on the back as well. But most of all i love that i can bluetooth it straight to my gaming PC

    So far the controller works okay but like all Microsoft controllers they eventually get drift or the buttons stick.

    I like the newly updated Xbox Series X|S controllers. They have textured handles that allow you to grip the controller better and they have built in bluetooth capability which is the primary reason I decided to purchase one. I am able to use the controller with my laptop, phone, and obviously with my Xbox One. I purchased the shock blue color and it is very nice to look at!
