    It's an Xbox controller. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Feels great in the hands. Nice texture on the grips. Feels much more solid than previous generation controllers.

    Good looking color, should be a little cheaper for not including rechargeable batterys(having AA battery’s is fine and even useful but it shouldn’t be a 70$ msrp and not include rechargeable batteries) I would personally recommend a ps5 controller for pc gaming if you are willing to tinker to get the best experience.

    I bought this so I could play xbox games on my 12" tablet. Bluetooth is fast & responsive without any lag. The controller feels very high quality. This was an upgrade from the old none Bluetooth controllers.
