    It's a good controller and my kids like the red color scheme. Been working well so far. Hopefully it holds up and doesn't get drifty analog sticks like a few of my other Xbox controllers have. Haven't had the best of luck with them in the past.

    Solid and sturdy controller. Had no issues with connectivity. Good battery life. Use it mostly to play fighting games. Was worth it as I had picked it up on sale.

  • Good for casual players, weak for daily gamers.

    It works well for daily play until it doesn’t. My old Xbox one controllers lasted me 10+ years (4 of which was daily play), and only needed basic maintenance. These new controllers develop stick drift after about three-six months of daily play and light accidents (falling two feet into the carpet). After replacing my controllers 5 times since my Xbox Series S purchase, I am debating about switching to an aftermarket controller, since Xbox clearly stopped making solid controllers after the Xbox One models. They’re great for light use and stay strong for months, but if you’re a daily gamer, probably stick to something else!

    I prefer the official Microsoft controllers over all the others. The newer models (such as this one) also have more comfortable grips around the triggers. The color of this one is really nice as well. I am very pleased
