    I like the form factor of the xbox controller. My kids are rough on controllers. Make sure to get the protection plan. Bestbuy will replace it when it gets broken.

    Not much of a change from these controllers and the previous generations. The only noticeable changes are on the menu and share buttons. The newer share button is a bit weird and it’s functionality is straightforward once you get used to it. It takes on click for screenshots and a long hold to capture video. My suggestion is feel the controllers out and if you want a true customized experience you can go with the Xbox design lab.
