    My favorite controller now. Works like any other xbox controller, but the color is very vibrant. And I love that it's multi-colored. The preview picture online makes it look like a bland/pepto pink color, but it's very bright. Love it.

    Only complaint my son says he has is how easy stick drift takes over. These aren’t cheap . By the insurance on them so can be changed out when this problem occurs because as we all know these aren’t cheap.

    Still, my favorite controller of all time, I do drop it on occasion, and I’m slightly rough on it, hands wise, however, this current version seems the last bit longer than the previous models. I will use until I can’t use them anymore!

    Bought this as a replacement controller for my husband and his gaming ways. He likes the color. He likes the action on the controller. And he likes the directional pad better than the traditional one. Definitely would purchase again.
