    Bought this as a backup in case the original that comes packed with the XSX were to stop working in that worst timing that happens sometimes. Picked this color because from the pics it looked awesome, was worried the real thing would not reflect the pics but I was happy it does. Looks awesome in person & the color 2 tone scheme is awesome. Been using this one instead of the 1 that came with the unit.

    Great , great controller. Feels good & directional pad is awesome. Analog sticks are precise. You can’t beat the original. I’ve put quite a few miles on it already. Still performs flawlessly. I waited until it was on sale. I use rechargeable AA batteries, charged by a solar panel. Free electricity!
