    Its blue! Well, blue in the front and white in the back. It feels nearly identical to the Xbox One controller but the D-Pad is redesigned and there are textured plastic grips on the back. It is built solid but has a rather cheap feel with the plastic design. Power is supplied via battery (2x AA or rechargable) or USB-C.
