    Received as part of a bonus for buying a laptop, I really enjoy how this controller feels when playing on my Xbox. Functions really well and battery life is quite good.

    I very much like the grip and button texture, it is comfortable along with the new d-pad. I will be using my Geek Squad Replacement after only 2 hours of use due to the trigger sticking. Almost seems like a gum is between it and the contact as seen in videos on youtube.
