    I have this obsession with getting any controller or system red. I really like the color, I think it makes everything more vibrant and this controller doesn't dissapoint at all. They should make a see through one...

    Its a great device, can connect with your phone with ease. Very comfortable, and once you get used to having a third button in the middle of the controller capturing all types of things will be a breeze.

    This controller is actually one of the best designs for a controller I've laid my hands on. The material feels great but my only gripe is that when using the triggers, the sound of the plastic knocking together feels extremely cheap, like there's no OOMPH that the previous generation did. Not a deal breaker, just something I've noticed.

    The controller connects to my windows computer. After connecting it, it works well but does not always connect on the first try. I have noticed a small click when moving the left joystick but that is not a problem. The controller feels good in the hand, especially the vibration motors.

    So nice I bought it twice...by accident. There are no cables or rechargable batteries with this controller. Im still looking for compatible parts. Theee is a different charging input that does not work with precious controllers.
