    Fantastic controller. I use on both my series x and my PC. With and without a cable connected to both options, there's barely any latency between presses. The controller is flat out great.

    Not much different than the previous gen besides the share button tacked on, but the textured grips feel really nice and I haven’t had any problems with the redesigned d pad which is nice.

    I bought this Xbox controller for my PC setup, as I prefer this over using a keyboard and mouse. Windows makes it extremely easy to connect either through a bluetooth or wired connection. Everything works as expected and I am happy with my purchase!
