    Great looking controller, but as most new Xbox controllers stick drift caught up to it. Luckily I get most of my electronics from Best Buy so I have their membership to return it and get a new one otherwise I would be broke from controllers with stick drift…

    Despite most xbox controllers being expensive for their quality i like this one because of its colors and texture, everything else is pretty much the same as controllers go

    So i purchased this product for my steam deck. However it does need to be synced with an xbox to update or to your computer to update before it can be connected. Once that is finished it work perfectly.

    Futher improvement on one of the best controllers ever made. It is slightly smaller than the Xbox One controller and they have added some texture to the grips for more traction. The triggers are smoother and the buttons are slightly lower to allow for easier, quick presses.

    Bought this for my son to have his own controller that wouldn’t get mixed up with the others we have. Love the color! He plays with it often and has never had any problems.

    Controller seems similar to other standard xbox controllers, with some nice grips on the backside. The color scheme looks good while being subtle. No issues so far.

    I’ve owned the controller for a few weeks. It’s built to be sturdy, comfortable, and stylish. I first thought the all red would be too much, but I’m liking it more now. Bluetooth compatibility works well with my iPad too. Overall, great choice, for the $60 price
