    Great product. I wish it came with the dongle for pc use. I had to buy the dongle separately. The bluetooth seemed to not be as quick as the dongle.

    I really like this control, I missed the gears of War edition for the Xbox 360 and Xbox one and really regret it, and this control is very close to those it looks awesome and stands out from the other colors, also because I have a ps4 too, I can say that the quality of Xbox controllers is far superior, ps4 controller's triggers and buttons get damaged very easily even without a heavy use, and never had those problems with my Xbox controllers.
