    Dont usually get SE controllers, but this one just looks fantastic in person, and the rubber back feels nice. No regrets.

    Best color. Dumb looking but great D-pad. Comfy and practical for big hands. I watched bridge on the river Kwai and didn’t realize the controller was still in my hand until the 2 hour mark. The future is now.

    My kids really liked this controller. Better than the colored controllers. I think this one was like 10$ more but I would recommend this one over the cheaper one.

    I really enjoy the new little changes that’ve been made. The subtle grip on the back is nice, USB-C is appreciated, and the controller is overall slightly smaller so it’s similar but a bit of a nice refresh.

    Once I got the right cable for this - a type C - I was able to get it up and running for steam. Although I’d previously defaulted to PlayStation style controllers, this one is very comfortable and responsive.
