    Bought this blue Microsoft XBox controller for use with a Mac in emulators and Linux machines in Steam games. I like that it uses regular AAs, can connect with USB-C and Bluetooth, and the buttons/sticks are all accurate and feel good. Hopefully in the next revision they can make repairability/cleaning easier.

    Great controller; love the design and look. Only downside is that it is still just an Xbox Series controller; meaning no Hall Effect sensors, no back paddles or extended functionality.

    This is my favorite controller next to my Elite 2 controller I like the red hue used it really pops the white underneath grew on me I feel it makes the red standout more but harder to stay clean & it might yellow over after time. The new Series X controller is a mix between the original & elite controller it features the nice clicky bumpers & d-pad also the grip texture from the elite controller in a more comfortable smaller shape. I can’t recommend this enough if you’re on the fence do it you won’t regret it.

    Whereas I'll admit that I only bought this because as a Kentucky fan I wanted the blue and white color scheme, I can honestly say this is hands down the most comfortable controller I've ever held. Only slight updates were made to the previous xbox controller, but they are immediately noticeable in the hand. There is some new texturing to help with gripping the controller on the back and on the triggers. The D-pad going with a shield design is a significant upgrade and feels very much in-line with what you would get from an elite controller. I have noticed that there seems to be limited PC compatibility, but that will likely come with time and new updates.

    I love the color scheme. I use this controller as my all purpose carry. It is the 1 controller that is always in my back pack. I use it with my gaming pc, my Samsung Tab S9 Ultra and my Z fold. I pairs with ease and I love using it especially with emulators. Great Buy!!

    This is just my personal experience, but I used to only use the PS controller, so I did not expect the Xbox controller to fit so snugly in my hands. The texture on the back helps with grip and feels nice. The vibrant red color is beautiful. I put in a rechargeable battery pack (also found on bestbuy), and the controller's weight also feels just right.

    Controller works wonders as did the previous gen version. The new textures added to the controller add a great sense of tactility and makes gripping the controller easier as there are small groves to help with holding the controller during long gaming sessions. Being able to pair up to previous Xbox devices and receivers makes using this as simple as it could possibly be, It doesn't desert the old receivers. Downside, you do have to purchase a new rechargeable battery as you cannot use the old gen with this newer controller.

    A Vast Improvement

    Great feel, these are a fantastic improvement over the original model that debuted with the Xbox One. The D-pad feels nice and “click-y” like they should, and the slight abrasion feeling grips on the handles are a welcome treat for anyone. I feel like at this point Microsoft should offer controllers with a built-in rechargeable battery instead of having to purchase them separately, but this doesn’t take away from the quality or reliability of their controllers.

    PC gamer that started on xbox. Use this controller on my PC on a variety of Game Pass and Steam games, mostly FPS. This controller is still good if not one of the best value for price.

    Upgrading from a regular Xbox One controller that I’ve had for years to this has been such a nice change! There’s a noticeable difference in the quality of the controller. The texture on the thumb sticks and back of the controller is a nice addition too and the colors/design really pops out! Have been using this controller almost daily for PC gaming and no issues so far!
