    Nothing too specific that I love about the controller, it's simply a quality controller. Worked right out of the box, buttons are smooth and feel nice.

    Just an excellent controller, though I wish it was physically compatible with the PowerA Xbox One controller recharge kit I already have. It looks like it's a bit smaller than the previous controllers, but doesn't feel smaller. A very slight bit expensive, compared to the previous ones.

    Great new designed controller from Xbox. It’s just a shame the charge pack still isn’t included in 2020 and beyond.

    As long as it doesnt suffer from stick drift, i can see this one aging very well and still looking great and thematically appropriate. Cant wait to play the game with this hooked up to my PC.
