    The Series X/S controller is a durable and sleek controller. It has effectively zero flaws and is more comfortable than sitting on your couch after a long day of work. This controller also works on your Xbox One if you need a replacement. 10/10

    I got this for my daughter and she loved the color. It’s not only good for Xbox, she mainly uses it to play Minecraft on iPad (Bluetooth). Xbox has refined this amazing design over many years, it won’t disappoint.

    A great factory replacement for the Xbox series-S or Bluetooth capable PC. My only complaint if I had to make one would be that for the price it should have an internal battery but hey that’s Microsoft for you.

    I got a better price at Best Buy than I saw anywhere else online. Which is perfect, because this is the only controller that works for XBOX X Series. These controllers are like the Tesla of game controllers. I highly recommend these. Worth the investment!
