    My kids love that they can quickly identify which controller is theirs that we purhased for Christmas. There is no more arguing on who the controller belongs to!

    Xbox controls have been getting better over the years it seems. They used to be more sensitive. I always buy the insurance for 2 years and I almost always end up with a broken button of some sort before the two years are up. Best Buy makes the return process quick and easy.

    I'm loving this refinement of what I consider to be the best mainstream controller (standard xbox one). And the series X controller is just fantastic. Now I need to make sure I keep my hands clean before having to wipe down the white backing. Not a complaint from me. Hands down my favorite controller especially for fighting and racing games.

    The color is amazing in person, and the controller is very good quality being an authentic remote. And was able to grab it with one of the great deals from Black Friday.

    I was concerned that it wasn't going to be the quality of the original XBox controller, which lasted almost four years of near daily mashing. Quickly we noted that the build and feel of this controller is very similar to the original. We look forward to a few years of continued use and appreciate the toughness these are built with.
