    I really like this new controller design, the shoulder buttons feel better than the older Xbox one controller. I bought this to use with my PC, because I don’t have an Xbox Series X/S. I like the switch to USB-C, because it is a sturdier and more versatile connector.

    I'm enjoying the controller the color is amazing and it's very comfortable in the hands you can get a good grip. I really like the dedicated screen shot button even though I don't really use it so for the people who take screenshots you'll really enjoy it.

    Got this in addition to my xbox series s because of the color. Being new to xbox world the controller feels nice. The buttons are stiff and responsive and I find it fits better in the hand than my PS4 controller (only other console gaming system).

    I like the wireless controllers a lot. My first one lasted almost two years before it started to get what i call "the wander". Hope this one is as good.

    Controller feels really nice. I enjoy the extra grip on the triggers on the back. Just not a fan of the D-pad. Some people love it but it just feels cheap to me and I don’t enjoy it too much! If I could mix these controllers with the ps5 controller. Hallelujah!

    I still prefer the Microsoft issued controllers versus the competition. It's the most simplistic design. The precision might not be tuneable, but it has the best standard tuning. I don't need to spend any more for a fancy controller when the sticks or buttons start to fail in a year's time.
