    After years of dealing with Microsoft's first-party controllers I've come to expect sheer excellence. Very few companies put out a product such as this where the third-party efforts to meet or exceed its capabilities fall utterly flat. I've tried numerous off-brand controllers including much more expensive offerings from Razer... and they just don't cut the mustard. I now own five Xbox One/Series X controllers and they all work flawlessly after literal years of gaming - as long as you're not bouncing them off the walls, expect nothing less. These controllers are, in my opinion, perfect. And this red is hella sexy too.

    Great value and happy this color in particular was in stock. Purchased the red Xbox controller and has a heavier duty feel to it in comparison to the stock controller that comes with the system

    The new Xbox Series X/S controllers are suffering from some QA. The Xbox "home" button on the particular one I received gets stuck and sometimes I can't press it down without fiddling with it. The rest of the buttons work well and it functions as expected otherwise. The red looks really sharp, but keep in mind, the backside is white, and can get dirty easily.

    The red is very vibrant, it would be hard to lose this controller in a room. The triggers and grips are textured. Very standard feel of a controller. This controller also supports the new rechargeable battery packs that use type-c charging.
