    Excellent color. The series x controller itself is great, but white and black are bland.

    This was the perfect color for my Xbox One S system. I had needed this to replace my other Xbox One S controller. I had accidentally dropped it against something hard and the synchronization button is jammed to the point where I can’t use the controller unless I plug in the system. I had wanted another space gray controller but they didn’t have one so I went with them and it was the perfect color.

    I've tried a few Xbox controllers over the years and I can say this is the only one I actually like (out of the ones I've used). Unfortunately I've bought this same thing about 4 times in 5 years, because some part always stops working (connector, stick drift, etc). I really wish the quality was better at this price point, but it's the price I pay to not hate my controller.

    Solid build and looks great. Light is also a little brighter because it illumnates the internal of the controller as well
