    Ended up buying this remote for our pc inlieu of the others offered. Majority of platforms on pc supported this set up and made sense. We came from an xbox platform and switched to pc so were familiar with the controller and the feel. Hands down, more comfortable than a ps5 controller.

    The new Xbox Series X/S controllers are suffering from some QA. The Xbox "home" button on the particular one I received gets stuck and sometimes I can't press it down without fiddling with it. The rest of the buttons work well and it functions as expected otherwise. The red looks really sharp, but keep in mind, the backside is white, and can get dirty easily.

    Well made controller. Sadly it does not recharge like other systems. invest in rechargeable AA's if you can. A bit small for my hands. Prefer xbox360 controller feel, but this is the best controller for the newer line of xboxs that I have tried.

    I have a Series S console and a few computers that can use this. Switching between platforms is so easy, and the buttons are very tactile. The triggers are pressure sensitive too. The textured grip has a nice feel to the hand.
