    One of the better colors for gaming console controllers out there, short of special edition drops. Solid basic controller.

    The man loves it. His favorite part is the fact that the trigger and certain other parts of the controller are like engraved and have a cool texture. It grips perfectly in his hands! He still has to get used to playing with a new controller but he loves it so far!

    I like the feel of this controller. The controllers in general have been declining in quality. I feel that the new types of game play wear them down much quicker. I have had more controllers in the last two years than the previous 15 years. I have Best Buy protection, so it doesn't really matter how long it lasts.

    Not bad for the price. A little noisy though. When you are using the buttons, it is louder than it should be. Wish they took that into consideration when they made it. Not everyone can drown out that noise by turning up the volume of the game.

    It's just a comfortable, responsive controller. If you have a Windows or Linux PC, an Xbox, or an Android device and need a controller, you can't go wrong with this.
