    I play exclusively on PC and wanted something new. Disappointed that the middle capture button doesnt do anything on PC, and disappointed that they still use AA batteries by default. Purchased the official play and charge kit for $25 to make this next gen controller truly next gen. The bumpers also feel less bouncy, which is nice.

    The new Xbox controllers are top of the line. Great grip, texture, sticks, and snappy d-pad. The highlighter green looks sharp.

    It basically works just as good as their most expensive controls. I would recommend this product to a friend because they will save money and get the same action out of the xbox control unit.
