    I bought this for my xbox one x. Its a series x/s controller thats compatible with the xbox one. Its an improvement over the old controller with textured grip. It has a share button. Not drastically different but im okay with that.

    The controller feels great in the hands. It's very sturdy with an awesome grip feeling. The texture along the handles definitely adds a more firm feel to it. With the windows update and controller firmware update it connects to bluetooth and functions properly.
