    Well, it is a controller, but the design is outstanding. Small little details, like the clear triggers and color choice make this feel as sci-fi as it gets.

    It looks exactly like the pictures, super clean. Otherwise it’s just a normal Xbox controller.

    Bought for PC use. Prefer keyboard/mouse, but a few games work better with a controller. Bluetooth connection was OK, but dropped out occasionally. Wired USB connection to PC works great. A little expensive, but a solid controller.

    Only wish the xbox controller was like the ps controller that can just charge without needing to buy 3rd party chargeable batteries. I recommend pairing it with Smatree Controller Battery, bought mine back in 2016 they still are going strong. Otherwisw the controller works like intended.
