    This is a great controller. It saves time when you want to record action play in a game with a record button built right on it.

    Sadly it seems these days that the Xbox controllers aren’t what they used to be. During the Xbox 360 era I had two controllers for years. Clunky designs when compared to this modern iteration but without fail, I’ve never had issues such as these new controllers. I believe this is the 12th controller now to give out on me. From D-pad buttons not working to bumpers, the Xbox One controllers are guaranteed necessary that you purchase with warranty.

    There's not a big difference compare with the last generation, but it has more grip, the share button is very useful if you have friends.

    Always liked how the newer Xbox controllers fit comfortably in your hands, especially the series X. Has a great feel with the new texture. Always been a fan of camo designs and the color red, so I love the look of this controller! Definitely my favorite to this date.
