    Given how pricey first-party game controllers have become in the past few years, the Black Friday Week price at Best Buy was very good. Shipping was quick, but padding could have been a bit better. Looking forward to setting it up and using it.

    I got this controller for $40 brand new while they had a sale, I saw some listings on ebay for older versions, used, and still $40! Good durability, before I had a stand, controller would drop once or twice a week, and still worked afterwards.

    Blue color does make it harder to find in the dark. Still has boomerang type aerodynamics when it slips out of your hand. Battery does seem to fall out if it takes flight.

    I bought this for PC gaming and am happy with my purchase. Comfortable design and textured grips, triggers, and bumpers. Had to look up how to connect it, but that’s normal and it wasn’t a hard process. Price seems like it could be lower though.

    why did i give it 4 stars? over Bluetooth there is an issue where when the d pad is pressed 3 times in one direction it crashes the game/system. when you hold the xbox button it literally crashes windows in 10 seconds. these will be fixxed with future updates but this is a honest current state review. build quality is definitely improved by far the best standard controller in gaming.
