    I have loved the feel of the Xbox controller since the original Xbox. I didn't even mind the "Duke" controller but the controller really hit it's stride with the 360 controller and has only gotten better. The Series X/S controller just feels great in my hand.

    Found this online for sale for 10 dollars off and had been looking for one for about a year. For it being brand new (not refurbished) that's the best deal your going to find any where. Believe me I looked and looked and pounced on this deal when it popped up. Thanks Best Buy
