    A more perfect, and just a, controller.

    Considering that I would have given the Xbox One controller a 4/5, I think that this is a perfect 5/5 for what I want out of a controller. Assuming you have an Xbox One controller, I can compare it to the last generation. The Series controller is much sturdier in its design and ever so more plain looking. I like both those aspects the same. I also think that the largest selling point compared to the last gen is the new plastic on the triggers and the USB-C connection. Otherwise... it's more the same and that's fine. It's just better all around and is the level of premium that you would expect from Microsoft. I will say that the specific details for connecting it to a PC have always eluded me until now. I thought that because this controller DOES have BluTooth that that's all I ever needed to use. While you can, using it via BT doesn't allow the use of the trigger motors nor the audio port and that's where the Xbox Wireless Adapter comes in. I just wish that was more apparent.

    The Xbox Wireless Controller is fantastic—it feels great in the hands, super responsive, and the build quality is usually solid. Unfortunately, mine broke after a few months, which was frustrating, but thankfully I had Best Buy's Total Tech! They replaced it, no questions asked, and I’m covered for up to two years. Knowing I have that kind of protection makes me feel a lot better about my purchase. If you’re picking one up, definitely consider adding Total Tech—it's totally worth it for peace of mind!

    This controller is great! Versatile if you want to use it with the Xbox, PC, or Chromecast. Very sold construction, I don't feel like I could break it easily. Good button design and responsive. The fact that it still uses double A batteries is kind of weird and 1990s, I went ahead and bought some really good rechargeable ones - Panasonic Eneloop. That is an extra cost of ownership so one less star. Maybe so you aren't limited by the life of an internal battery, but for all the costs of batteries you could just buy another controller.

    My son loves this controller and the colors!!! He was very happy about me buying this. Every since I have gotten it he doesn’t play with his other controller, so I am very pleased with this controller.

    Love these controllers. I have purchased many other controllers and none have lasted as long as this one. Microsoft has done their homework when it comes to gaming. I don't plan to by one anytime soon, but if I do, I know what brand to buy.

    Functions as it should. Looks even better than the photo. Feels amazing in the hands. Costs the same as any remote. Maybe a little more than the standard black.

    Let's face it, the standard black Xbox controller is a gaming staple, but yawn. This stunning blue version, however, is a breath of fresh air for your hands and a welcome upgrade for any gamer's aesthetic. It's the kind of controller that'll have your significant other eyeing it with envy (and maybe a touch of competitive spirit). But fear not, controller traditionalists! This blue beauty isn't just a looker. It functions flawlessly, just like any other official Xbox controller. So you can frag your opponents in style without missing a beat. Trust me, this controller is a win-win for both your gameplay and your living room décor.

    Stopped working after a few months. Microsoft said it was out of warranty after 90 days. It happens, other wise the controllers great. Just buy a warranty
