    These controllers are sleek and awesome to use. The controller seems a bit smaller so it's easier to hold. The color blue also was a great addition for the Xbox controller.

    I pretty much considered the xbox one controller to be the best controller available until I used this one. Very small and subtle changes keep what works and improves on the rest.
