    This controller is really good it has pretty good grip and it feels really nice when you are holding it. It will feel weird at first cause it’s a lot smaller than the old Xbox controllers but you’ll get used to it.

    These controllers are the best. Very little hand fatigue no matter how long you’re playing.. but this is a big butt not the most durable so make sure you get the warranty. Stick drift galore
