  • Great Controller / High price when Not on Sale

    So far so good. I bought it primarily to support gaming on a Windows PC. I prefer the PlayStation thumbsticks layout, but this layout is fine too. The battery life seems good, All the buttons work well. It will have trouble pairing with very old Bluetooth receivers, such as 2.1. I wish the battery was rechargeable out of the box. When this is on sale, it's a pretty good deal for a quality controller.

    My nephew loves his controller and it came just before summer break. He really like the grip and control and doesn’t use his older controller anymore. Great produce for the price.

    The red Xbox controller was the perfect match for the customized Xbox system that was needed to complete the perfect combination with his new Xbox. This was a great buy at a great price.

    Great little controller! Love the colors and the ease of use. The only downside is that it is a battery drainer. Wish there was a way to recharge it or plug it in when you're out of batteries, but until then we will have to switch to rechargeable batteries.

    Love the redesigned D-pad and the textured feel on the back of the handles. Makes gripping easier without any of the rubber texture previous controllers had. The capture button make screenshots easier.
