    Good looking color, and pretty standard build quality. I always recommend buying the official Microsoft peripherals as opposed to any 3rd party options.

    I really liked the color of this controller. It has a better rubber grip on the back of the controller than the plain colored controller’s .

  • Superb Wireless Controller for PC with 1 catch

    I purchased this controller because I bought a gaming Laptop but wanted to be able to use a controller when i was traveling to make things a bit easier. I bought this controller for that purpose and was excited that it could be used via Bluetooth on PC. I was able to get the controller connected to my PC via bluetooth but proceeded to have issues with games recognizing it as a controller (the main one being Warzone). I have given this product 4 stars because while it does connect to PC it's use is limited without the Xbox One Wireless Adapter for PC which is another $30. Once I received the adapter and paired them together the games I was having issues with will now recognize the controller. If you intent to use this on PC i would highly suggest that you get the adapter regardless in order to prevent the same frustration as well as have improved reaction time the wireless adapter has over bluetooth.
