    This Microsoft Xbox controller I purchased is perfect for what I needed it to do. I don’t think there is another controller in this price range that can beat it.

    A solid controller for PC gaming. Great heft and durable feeling. One complaint is the battery is a little short for my liking but that can easily be replaced later on.
