    Even though I got this on sale I would still buy this again at full price. The new xbox controllers feel very premium and have a nice weight to it. Triggers have a textured grip now which I am a big fan of. I use this on my PC and so far the bluetooth connection is OK, but I picked up the wireless adapter to have a better connection. The switch over to usb-c connection on these controllers was an amazing upgrade and worth it for me. I love this controlller!

    We have come a long way since the ol' "Duke" controller. These days, the Xbox Series X/S OEM controller is the defacto standard for both Xbox and PC gaming, and with good reason. The ergonomics are perfect, and they can pair with both a console and a Bluetooth device. I bought this one specifically to use with my VR headset now that MS has released a Game pass app for it, allowing me to stream and play while in VR. Plus, it's handy to have a third controller that is just like the other two I have, because nobody wants the janky knock-off.
