    Build quality is top-notch and I love this particular color. Not as fancy as the DualSense from a feature standpoint but I've always much preferred the feel and ergonomics (stick placement) of Xbox controllers.

    Got it as a back up for my Series X and then gave it away to my brother for his Xbox One S and it works just as fine! Needs an update at start but all buttons are compatible with the One S as well as the Series X.

    I bought it for a gift for Wichita Children's Home. As far as I know, it's gotten good use. I just hope the kids were happy with all the gifts we got them and will continue to get for many Christmases to come.
