    Great controller. The color stands out and it's easy to separate this from the other controllers. I've used it actively for about 2 months now and still working like day 1.

    Honestly I wanted to like this a lot more than I actually do. In terms of functionality there's nothing wrong. The build quality is solid. The buttons all have good press to them and everything registers fine. The solid, pure white color is gorgeous and so far the battery life seems to be pretty good. But there in-lies the problem. This is a new console controller released in 2020 and it DOESN'T HAVE A BUILT IN RECHARGABLE BATTERY!!! This is a standard feature in SO MANY other controllers, all the way back to the Playstation 3 Dualshock controller that I'm aware of. Why isn't it built in to this? PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers both have this feature, so why for roughly the same price can't Microsoft do the same? Get your act together, Microsoft. This is basic stuff we're talking about in this day and age.

    Decided to order this controller since it’s an OEM replacement. Within a few weeks ive already noticed slight stick drag, which seems to be a common theme with these controllers.
