    Gotta love these controllers best feeling in the hands and very comfortable. They did slight upgrades from the XBOX ONE controllers but if you loved that controller you will be right at home.

  • LG C1 is just better

    The question you all are asking yourselves, "Should I spend the extra money on the C1 or just get the CX?" I have both respectively and honestly the C1 takes the cake for me. Lots of bug fixes. 1. HDMI 1 is now on default instead of LG channels 2. Proven to have less input lag (Couldn't really notice the difference between C1 and CX tbh) 3. Noticeably brighter than the LG CX and tested and proven to be 100-120 nits higher. 4. No more weird flickering when switching to an HDMI input for your PC. 5. Better lighting for games! This is the biggest one! Gamma correction is on point with the LG C1 compared to the CX! This is a hardware issue with the CX and cannot be fixed with an update. Overall I give it to the C1 hands down!

    Cant expect anything less when paying 60 dollars for a controller lol. The texture is a good plus making it more grippy and the ease of use is great as always.
