    I never owned an Xbox before but recently got the new series X. over the holidays I was at my brother in laws house and we got my nephew a new controller for him and that's when i realized how much better these controllers feel compared to the old ones. Old ones feel light and made out of cheap plastic. these feel MUCH better, would definitely recommend.

    Regular Xbox controllers are great. You can't go wrong with those. I love the new texture of the plastic shell. A lot less slippery than the original Xbox One controllers.

    I bought this alongside the 8Bit bluetooth adapter and use it to play with my Switch. This controller is comfortable and feels near-perfect when held. I love being able to use it for my PC, Switch, and even Phone!

    Best one to get. The colour ones have a normal plastic backplate, this one has like a rubber one, which to me at least feels a lot nicer to hold

    Best Xbox controller yet, the changes to the grip ensure they’ll last longer and the haptic feedback is nice, my only gripe with it is when using it on pc it tends to randomly vibrate, sometimes even when I’m not playing anything but that can easily be solved by turning it off. The issue doesn’t seem to happen on my Xbox however.

    I got this for my Teen for his birthday. It was his direct request because he loved the color and design. Five months later this is still his favorite controller and the texture of the color is amazing and has really held up.

    Owning both a PS5 and Series X I can honestly say that Microsoft provide one of the best controllers for FPS gaming. Triggers are much better than Playstation, and honestly these feel a bit more beefy/sturdy over the PS5 controller.
