    Feels nicer than the last generation controller. The LT and RT buttons are smaller and textured as well which helps the occasional game player like me fumble less often.

    Even though this controller was bought as a back up, it is now the go to controller for our Xbox. We just received the Xbox X series and it works great with that as well.
