    This controller is a replacement for the controller that came with the console. It has been a great replacement and no issues. The color is pretty cool because no losing it.

    I’ve had this controller for over a year and a half, and compared to the controller that came with my XBox, it blows it out of the WATER! The joysticks are still as stiff and tight as the day I bought it, I’ve never had any problems with the capture button, and the grip on the back is great! And it’s definitely durable after enduring a couple rage moments from some gaming!

    Nice quality of life upgrades to this one. USB-C charging is very welcome. plastic is a little slippery and cheap but buttons/joysticks feel good and ergonomics are good. texture feel on bottom makes up for it some. Easy to pair etc

    Design of the controller is well done. The outside piece of the triggers are clear, so you can see the inside of the triggers.

    The new Series controllers from Microsoft are great. They're not slippery to hold, they're not too big and they're not expensive.
