    I'm a Playstation player and always heard XBox has nice controllers. My friends weren't wrong. This controller feels great, I use it to play games on PC. Bluetooth works fine as well as wired.

    Great controller that is basically an update for the Xbox one console as it comes into its final years. Has a texture grip underneath and is solid. Also aux port for older headphones or ones that have the option to connect. Small issue with connection to Xbox upon turning on. Just look up solutions online easy fix.

    Much better, in my opinion, than the Xbox one controller. I like the grip and it also feels a little smaller and easier to hold. Good buy, esp if you can get it for $40 like the sales during BF.
