    This has better grip and feels better in hand than the old controller. The record button is pointless and I find myself hitting it accidentally quite often. The new D pad is nice. Will see how it holds up over time.

    Works just like the other Xbox controllers but with the additional camera button added to it. My only complaint would be that if you are an larger adult, then the controller may hurt your hands after hours of play.
