    Great Controller works great with windows 11 Just make sure to have a usb-c to Usb transfer cable and not just a charging cable for it to work correctly with windows, the bluetooth works as well for windows but the connection isnt strong enough to maintain a stable connection. Overall this controller does the work.

    Standard Microsoft OEM controller. Always dependable. Love the color (red). The box was a little beat up thanks to the anti-theft wire the employees wrapped around it. But controller in great condition. The price is fine… Slightly annoyed in general at the increasing price of gaming peripherals; but that’s more an issue of inflation than of pricing.

    There's textual grip on the back of the controller. My 9 heart old days it's the best thing to put on a controller. Because when you're in the mode turning around and hanging sideways, upside down and twisted, you still don't accidentally drop the controller
