    Perfect and refined. The blue color looks great in person, and the grip texture feels great. It doesn’t feel as premium as the Elite Controllers, but for a stock controller, you can’t get better.

    amazing controller, feels great in the hands! I like the new texture on the back rather than the old one and the sticks also feel very smooth. The only complaint is no inclusion of a USB c cable.

    The controllers are good, but inevitably, you end up with "Stick drift." So... You have to get another one, so buy the Accidental Geek Squad Replacement and save!
