    This special edition controller is great, the color is nice and the added rubber side grips make it more comfortable for extended gameplay sessions..

    Finally some decent quality durable plastic on Xbox controller! Previous one were really bad! Buttons and joysticks are much nicer now. I am using it wired connected to my laptop. I would highly recommend.

    I bought this controller so I could play Doom 2 on my laptop at work, which it works really well at. I saw you are able to connect this to iphones/ipads and thought it would be great for playing Call of Duty Mobile. Unfortunately this controller is not compatible with COD mobile, you need the Xbox One controller for that. But it works well for Doom on pc

Unfortunately, iOS compatibility is not available at the moment, but Microsoft and Apple are working together to bring iOS compatibility to this controller in a future update. Please check Xbox Wire for updates here: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/

    No frills, basic remote, but it works great and does exactly what it supposed to. I’ve had it for about six months and I’ve had no issues with it at all.
