    Xbox has come a long way with their controllers. This looks much better in person than it does online. The quality is great and my kid loved it.

    The controller is a bit smaller so it’s easier for kids to grab a hold of it. I like that cause my granddaughter loves using it. It’s also very responsive and comfortable in the hand. Very well designed. Great job XBOX!!

    I have loved the feel of the Xbox controller since the original Xbox. I didn't even mind the "Duke" controller but the controller really hit it's stride with the 360 controller and has only gotten better. The Series X/S controller just feels great in my hand.
