    While MS has fallen from 1st to just behind in 2nd in the controller war with PS5, this controller still has an incredible feel with great fidelity. The lack of touch pad and haptics are minor drawbacks. Button stick, and case feel are still best in class.

    The analog sticks are much improved since the Xbox 360 days. The two tone color is also makes this one stand out for the same price of any of the other colors. It appears blue and/or purple depending on the angle.

    I have ordered multiple of these over the past 12 months…the quality is OK, but every one of them ends up with some sort of problem within 12 months. The sticks always seem to stick, drift or quit working. I have a collection of no fewer than 8 of these controllers. If you look at it from the perspective of getting 12 good months out of a $50-60 controller, then you’ll be happy.

    It feels great in your hands, looks good, I prefer over the previous gen. Buttons are pretty audible but that doesn't bother me any. I use with a Windows 10 (ver1909) pc via the bluetooth connection. You will need to Download the XBOX app and update the controller's firmware with wired connection or plug in to an XBOX(other route) before it will work correctly on pc! Plays games and that's the best feature of all
