    I use this controller with my windows 10 PC, the grips that it has on the handles add an extra edge. Pairs quickly through Bluetooth to my gaming laptop.

    I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m also not quite sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. It is pure perfection in your hands. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    First impression of this controller was it feels great, but looks very similar to the Xbox one controller. Hopefully in the future they make it differently and have newer and better features. Overall I was very happy with the controller.

    Awesome controller! I really like the design and feel of it. However, I only play with this controller on pc, and it’s really annoying to get the controller to turn off since there’s no physical button to.
