    It's a great controller. I got it to replace my old 360 controller for some PC games. I'm really liking how it feels compared to the 360 controller. It feels nice in my hands.

    not even sure why i am reviewing this. Its the factory controller so yeah it is as good as it gets if you're playing xbox. I will say ignore other reviews that compare it to other consoles. You have an xbox series x so what does it matter if a PS5 one is better, you don't have a PS5.

    I bought this for my eight-year-old son as a Christmas present this past year. Throughout his short life he’s going through approximately 16 1/2 Xbox controllers. Hopefully this one survives longer due to having a USB c port, which is always friendly. As Well as compatibility with his older Xbox and PC. Here’s to hoping this won’t last longer than the others.

    Looks amazing and is super sleek looking. I love the variety of special controllers Microsoft keeps putting out. I’ve started to collect them and am thinking I may have a problem now haha. Worth every penny to be ready for Starfield in September.

    I really enjoy the color for this controller but the grips feel strange on my hands after some binge gaming. It is as if the skin on my hands are getting blisters, definitely not getting blisters but still noticeable. With that being said this is still my go to controller.

    Quality controller. Microsoft could always do better with the bumpers. They are by far the most fragile piece of the controller only connected by a 2mm piece of plastic. Otherwise, great
