    I use this guy for pc gaming and it works well. Be prepared to blast through AA batteries faster than you'd like, but overall its a solid controller

    They seem to wear out after about a year of use so I would definitely buy the extended warranty with them! But they work great until they don’t!

    Cool design with a smooth texture. The controller seems to be ever so slightly larger than my other controllers, and can have connectivity issues when using the rechargeable battery packs.

    Bought to go with my SteamDeck. Once it was updated (which took some help) it works just fine. Feels fine and so far is recognized by everything that needs it.

    I have a bunch of Xbox controllers. The rubber grips on the sides of this make a huge difference in comfort and control. The color is pretty amazing as well. If you are in the market for an xbox controller and you are a fan of color shifting paint this is the controller for you. It comes with 2 double A batteries as well so you can jump right in. Connecting this controller to the xbox was a breeze as well. You can plug it in for faster connection or press the link button on the front of your console and hit the link button on your controller and you’re all set.
