    I bought it along with the Xbox Series X. Since it is a Microsoft controller, we hope that it lives up to its name.

    I like the new style controller it seems a bit more comfortable with the new surface they put on parts of it. I have been a gamer for a long time and this is definitely a step in the right direction overall good value.
