    The item is perfect. Better than the playstation controllers. The PlayStation controllers are cery weak and fragile. Psn controllers break easily but this controller does not

    why did i give it 4 stars? over Bluetooth there is an issue where when the d pad is pressed 3 times in one direction it crashes the game/system. when you hold the xbox button it literally crashes windows in 10 seconds. these will be fixxed with future updates but this is a honest current state review. build quality is definitely improved by far the best standard controller in gaming.

    The controller works well over Bluetooth for my PC. I did get a separate battery pack for it that fits into the battery space which makes it better value. The blue is a nice tone and the controller feels sturdy.

    I have been using xbox since the beginning with the xbox one. Today i have a series x. Playing with others is so fun. Having a extra controller is good. Also the warranty is great if anything happens to the controller i just take it to the store and they will give me a new one
