    Not sure if it's just me, but the D pad feels much nicer on the xbx series x/s controller than the previous outgoing model. Not much room to improve since the controller ergonomics and button layout is already good. The type C is a huge plus however I wish it came standard with a removable Li-ion battery pack

    Purchased this controller to pair up with my computer to play Fall Guys and it's been a pleasant experience. The Bluetooth is iffy even after a firmware update. But, wired works well.
