    Excellent purchase. Just provided my son with an extra controller for his Xbox. We also bought the charging station for it and that has been a game changer when it comes to batteries.. Highly recommend

    I grabbed it for the color. Xbox controllers are really durable and the best to hold imo. The coolest part is that the Xbox logo is blue when lit up.

    This is the same factory controller that comes with the Xbox. I like the fact that you can assign gamer tags to each controller, which makes things very easy. If you need a second controller, or a replacement, pick it up.

    Excellent controller ergonomic feel better than the last gen Xbox One controller. Only downside is still no built in battery. Other than that this controller is amazing. And would choose this over any third party controller any day.
