    Love the color. The d-pad on the new xbox controllers is a major upgrade. Feels a bit larger in the hand. Nice clicky shoulder buttons. USB C connectivity feels snug when using in wired mode.

    Fantastic controller and a handsome color palette. The new series x controllers are fantastic. All we needed were some new colors and Microsoft delivered in this case. Looks and feels amazing.

    Includes 2 batteries, works great. Has nice grip. Easy pair up via Bluetooth on Windows. For custom settings like turning off vibrations, you need to be physically connected to the device using a cable.

    The new controllers have a different texture, and it's great! Feels much more solid in your hands, after a long gaming session. In addition, the new pad layout works much better than previous revisions.

    Love this over the previous Xbox one controller. The subtle change in texture makes me really enjoy this controller. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I actually had to return the first one I purchased because it stopped working out of nowhere, just wouldn’t turn on at all one day. After I got it replaced all is good till this day.

    Nothing better the original Xbox controller. Wireless is the way to go ! Lower priced controllers do not last nor compare to the quality of Microsoft.
