    Same comfort you expect from the Xbox controller but now with a share button built in. My girlfriend loves the color too. Note: Only the top is colored, the back side where the battery goes is still white.

    So far an amazing controller. It looks really cool a little expensive considering from what i can tell its just a different color from the black one. But connects automatically to my laptop once paired and I am extremely happy with my purchase

    Easy to hold. Newbie will take time to learn controls. Need a newbie game to start with. Something that will utilize the buttons.

    I use this controller with my windows 10 PC, the grips that it has on the handles add an extra edge. Pairs quickly through Bluetooth to my gaming laptop.

    i love my XBox One S, and whenever I need a new controller to get back in the action I always go with the genuine Microsoft controller. It just lasts much longer, and way better quality the the other after markets and knockoff controllers.

    Finally in my favorite color! STILL waiting for a “glow-in-the-dark” version (ahem MicroSoft). Great, as always.
