    XBOX controller 2020 version. I changed my mouse to a G502 to get a sniper button. It was like the G900 I also use so easy to make the change. Now I looked at my XBOX controller. Is the newer version better? What can you say about a controller that seems so unchanged? Plenty more than I thought. The size is inconsequentially smaller. You’ll forget it ten minutes into a game as the usefulness takes over. What could be more useful on this thing? The four-position rocker is now a CIRCULAR affair verses a STAR shaped affair. That’s not really the big deal. What is, is the FEEL of the rocker is now much, much more precise and give great tactile feedback in long game sessions. Play RDR2? Ya, you know what I mean when you use this feature over and over. The shoulder switches also are improved inside. The FEEL is again way better, with a positive CLICK. This isn’t as pronounces as the 4-way toggle, but it is still better. The controller has much better texture on the surface for better GRIP in gaming. This seems superfluous but it isn’t if you play more than an hour. It really helps in fighting games like Devil May Cry series or the Shadow of Mordor series where stuff is quick and tactical feel is important. The trigger’s are a different but inconsequential shape change and more same, same. No real detriment that they stayed near the same. Feel and precision isn’t different to me in use. That’s good as it was OK before. The added screen picture button is place below the other two standard buttons, so if it is of use great. If not, no harm no foul. The new button isn’t in the way but it is easy to get to if you use the screen capture feature. The finish is now a matte color in black verses a more shiny surface. Just different. Joy sticks seem identical with the anemic center press “click” being the worst tactile feel of all switches but...you get used to it. So that's it. More than I expected and they did make it better without messing something up that was working. That’s not actually hard to do, break what seemed OK before. They took a risk and it worked. The changes aren’t a revelation, but they are satisfying.

    If I could give the overall controller line a rating, it would prob have to be 2 stars. We have like 5 of these controllers in various colors. EVERY one of them (except this one so far) has eventually developed stick drift. Shame on Microsoft for being okay with continuing to sell a product with an obvious inherent flaw. The only reason we continue to buy these is they are still pretty much the most affordable controllers. The ones that have NO history of stick drift are stupid expensive. That being said, we love the pattern on this controller and for the month we have had it, it is working great (until it doesn't) lol....so for now, 4 stars.

    I love the slightly reworked Series controller. I recently purchased the XBO, blue controller from last gen..And this gen's XSX-S blue controller, and I really like the darker tones blue with a splash of white on the bottom side. Once you pick the new controller up, you'll instantly notice the grip on the triggers, bumpers, and handles....The D pad is re-worked, and an added share button. When holding both last and this gen's controllers at the same time..I noticed the build quality was better on the new one...more so towards the Elite controller...It felt less cheap like the old one. I 've always like the Xbox controller because it fit my big hands...The new controller isn't ground breaking at all, just a little nip there and a tuck there...

    Since, the Xbox 360 days, Xbox controllers have been the gold standard in my view of controller design. The Series X controller is an evolution rather than a revolution, adding texture to key grip points and improving the dpad. It also adds a share button for the sharing functionality on the console. Overall, I have no complaints, and using the Series X controller with my old Microsoft USB adapter on my PC worked without a hitch. Definite recommend for anyone who wants to refresh their peripheral.

    Gorgeous controller. The underside grips have a pleasant texture and actually feel much better in your hands than the old smooth controllers. This color ages well, I’ve had it awhile with very frequent use, no scratches, no rubs. Looks as new as day one. Love this finish, it’s a color shift finish and is gorgeous. The controller itself is as expected from a Microsoft made item. Dependable, durable, and precise. I’ll likely buy another just to keep for when this one eventually wears out. I love it that much.

    As a daily gamer, the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller in Robot White has been a total game-changer for me. Here’s why I love it: - Super Comfortable Design: The grip feels natural in my hands, even during long gaming sessions. It’s lightweight but sturdy, and the textured back adds extra comfort. - Smooth, Responsive Controls: Every button press feels crisp and precise. The triggers and bumpers have just the right amount of resistance for immersive gameplay. - Seamless Connectivity: It connects instantly to my Xbox Series X, but I also use it on my PC without any hassle. Switching between devices is fast and simple. - Long Battery Life: I can play for hours on a single set of batteries, and it’s super easy to swap them out when needed. - Sleek, Minimal Look: The Robot White color is clean, modern, and stands out in the best way. It looks great on my gaming setup. If you want a controller that’s reliable, comfortable, and versatile, this is it. It’s a must-have for Xbox, PC, or even mobile gaming. I can’t imagine playing without it!

    ​This controller brings a massive pop of vibrant color to any gaming setup and looks incredibly clean on the desk. The deep pink shade is bright without looking tacky, and the matching back shell gives it a very cohesive design. Performance is completely flawless with excellent button responsiveness and thumbsticks that feel smooth and precise with no dead zones. The share button is perfectly placed for grabbing quick screenshots or video clips without disrupting your gameplay flow. It is a rugged, well built controller that handles daily wear and tear perfectly while adding some great personality to your collection.

    I’ll be honest i didn’t think this controller would be that great, mostly thought it was gonna be one of those ‘novelty’ controller. But this controller was absolutly amazing, like the controller feels great and imo prob the best controller you can buy for this price for xbox/PC use. The rubber around the whole controller make it feel high quality af, also the design is top notch doesn’t feel like a painted $50 typical xbox controller. Please if you’re going to buy this it’s worth it 10/10

    The Xbox series X/S controller is by far the bus controller made by Microsoft. Every year they continue to innovate and tweak and ways that are better for the player. It only makes sense to go with first party and playing on an Xbox.

    I've had 3 of these Xbox Series controllers by now and it seems that every time there has been an issue with the d-pad (occasionally) actuating longer than intended. Otherwise, I love this controller and the way it feels in my hands. The joysticks feel great and the controller is light if you leave the batteries out and play wired, if the weight is a preference.

    The sleek design, transparency and comfortable grip help make gaming enjoyable. I especially like the ability to plug into an external C cable when the batteries are low so that the gaming continues without interruption. This is a great gaming controller!!!
