    Love the color and how well it’s still working. I’ve bought other controllers with a different color but this one just stands out above them all. No issues with it a year later

    Huge step up over previous versions. Incredibly comfortable, works with bluetooth so no dongle needed for PC gaming. If you are using it on Mac or Linux, you might need to update the firmware first, which will require access to an Xbox, or using the Xbox Accessories app on a Windows pc.

    Just like any other Xbox controller, just looks cooler. I like the elite series but this one is more than adequate for my gaming sessions and looks cool.

    Great color. I would prefer to see the same color when connecting the controller to the xbox, it is shown with black color. Do not forget to update its firmware.
