It’s a good controller that’s easy to use and feels good in hands. The grin on the back definitely helps when your into a game and your hands are getting sweaty. Even tho the price is a bit too high I still recommend it. The color is also nice. I’ve been using it for quite a while and had no problems except changing the battery once or twice in a few months. Over all, it’s a great buy and I recommend it.

Great color! Grips well. The controller is durable. Over all great product

The controller itself is beautiful looks just like the picture. Very comfortable in your hands, highly recommend. Only issue I had that within just a few months I began to get stick drift. Going to return it for another. Hoping that it was just an uncommon occurrence I'll keep it at 4/5 stars

Love this color! Works great on a gaming PC. Worked directly out of the box

Love the color. Good quality and ease of use. Wireless.

Excellent controller that functions as intended. Love the added detail that the creators of this controller went to to see the inside of the controller throught the triggers. The design is beautiful and vibrant, and the textures of the design are wonderful as well. 10/10 controller, and is comparable to the Sea of Thieves and Titanfall special edition xbox controllers of the past.

good controller and love the color! feels good in use and fun color design

Fits more snug in your hands, it is smaller than x one controller but you feel more in control. The color was awesome too .

It is smooth buttons and the color of the controller is amazing

It's an official Xbox controller but the rubberized texture on the back is very comfortable and adds a lot of grip compared to my regular controllers. Still needs to come with as rechargeable battery instead of AAs just like every Xbox controller.

Vibrant color and durable to withstand a 10 and 6 year old.

Color is awesome the price was awesome the controller itself awesome

Love the White color! Functionality is good. Works great with Xbox.

Bought this controller to play videos games with my girlfriend. The person who checked me out was super helpful and even helped me understand the price matching policy. Wasn’t able to price match but decided to go ahead and purchase the controller anyway since the employee was very transparent with me.

Outstanding color that really pops! Feels great! Easy to navigate.

Great controller! Thumbsticks are nice and color is sleek

Controllers get worn out, everyone knows that. They seem to last about a year (1-3 hours gameplay a day with a little more time on weekends) and they develop drift or the buttons stop responding so well, it just happens. I recommend getting a controller with the rubber pads on the back for comfort and grip, and getting a higher amp hour rechargeable battery for them. The downside that seems to bother me the most is “updating” the controller. It seems silly to me that they need updates every few months. It is annoying to have to do that when you are trying to enter a lobby with friends. Otherwise, the rubber grip Xbox controller is fine. They could seriously lower the price by about 25% and I would still feel like it’s too expensive as well though. Still, the color options make it where everyone in the house can have one in a different color scheme.

This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.
