    I was shocked to feel how nice this controller feels like. It's my first Xbox Series controller and I have been using the Xbox one controller for years so the grips is a welcome touch along with the share button.

    This control has better grip than prior controls. And a faster way to take a screenshot by a click of a button.

    Love this controller.. my favorite controller of all the consoles and it works all PC games these days - can't go wrong! The Aqua shift version looks cool and the grips feel nice. I've had this one and the Shock Blue for a long time using them a ton and no issues.
