    This is your standard Xbox controller (which is already excellent) with an improved D Pad. If you like side-scrollers this is a must own.

    I mean, it’s identical to the one that came with my Series X. I didn’t expect anything more from it. The reason it gets 4 instead of 5 is for exactly that reason - no surprises.

    Great controller - only option for the new Xbox that is not plain black or white. They really should make some other on-brand options.0

    Good remote. Looks good and works well and connected easily. Only problem we ever had was it would disconnect sometimes and reconnect in the middle of games. Not sure a remote problem or Xbox problem but it hasn’t been doing it recently so it might have been just a little glitchy moment. Everything else is great.

    I would have given this 5 stars because you cannot use rechargeable batteries in it as you have to buy a specific battery for that. Also the first one I purchased I had to return because one of the buttons was a little faulty.
