    Great grip. Buttons seem a little loud but nothing abnormal for a standard controller. Also would love if the colors extended to the back of the controller as well

    Grabbed this up because i keep having my controllers get broken so i figured the cheapest one is a good value proposition since i need to buy a new one every six to twelve months.

    The updated Xbox Series X or S controller has a better d pad but it makes so much more noise. The grip feels good but that new share button dead center gets pressed more by accident then anything else. Microsoft has always had the better controller all around but this is lacking more then ever. Make the buttons with less clicking sound and loose or move that share button.

    Almost the same as the last models but with some added grip on the hand areas and triggers, also includes new share button. For 39.99 i got it on black friday so it was a nice deal, important to know that it has the usb c port on top though which does not work with the old charge n plays.
