    Dont usually get SE controllers, but this one just looks fantastic in person, and the rubber back feels nice. No regrets.

    The Xbox controller is already a great gamepad, but I was waiting for a color that really jumped out to me before buying one of the new revised versions and Electric Volt was it. Great color.

    The controller has a good grip on the underbelly and I love the sleek design and color. So far it's holding up on my more aggressive games (i.e. Halo or Minecraft Dungeons).

    Bought this Microsoft controller for an Xbox Series S. Works fine, but expensive--similar compatible wired game controllers cost $35. This one cost $70! OK, it's wireless, but Big Whoop. Why so much? Probably mainly to enrich Microsoft and its shareholders (such as me). But now I have a red one, a white one, and a blue one! Old Glory!
