    Good feel/grip. Solid weight and great color. Combine that with a decent gamer and we have a formula for success.

    Xbox definitely could step up their game when it comes to the average controller. Stick drift is still a very prevalent issue and as far as durability goes. As long as you dont smash the thing it should be fine.

    Bought this for my 12 year old…based on the many hours he plays with it, I’d say it works great! Color is nice and sans day delivery can’t be beat.

    Perfect and refined. The blue color looks great in person, and the grip texture feels great. It doesn’t feel as premium as the Elite Controllers, but for a stock controller, you can’t get better.

    amazing controller, feels great in the hands! I like the new texture on the back rather than the old one and the sticks also feel very smooth. The only complaint is no inclusion of a USB c cable.

    I love this controller because the grip has some kind of rubber feeling to it. Plus the look of it is just so Moony. :D
