    Nice colorway for this controller and the added grip is something that's been missing for A long time. Only downside is ios isn't supporting the new controllers yet.

    I haven't used this wirelessly, since my computer doesn't have bluetooth and I don't have an Xbox. But, I got it to play Fallout: New Vegas on my gaming computer, and it works great when plugged in. No complaints, except that learning the button mapping is a little bit of a struggle for this Playstation person!
