    High quality new series x/s controller. Great refresh on an already great designed controller. Extra grips on sides of joysticks are a great add, and all the buttons are more clicky.

    Perfect replacement controller for my X Box One. It is made for the new X Box but works great with the One also. Needed to replace one of ours for my daughter and she loves it, works perfect and easy to pair.
