    Nice color and works great. Kids love it. Wish I was able to use the rechargeable batteries I currently have for this controller, but doesn’t fit the back. Still a great product tho.

    Price was right on sale, but reliability is down on these units. Old models springs lasted a long time. I don't know if it's my family but springs get loose fast. MS needs to fix this, folks have to replace these 2x a year with average family gaming.

    Great controller feels great in hands, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars it's because it doesn't have a built in battery pack.
