Awesome controller! Grips on the backside make it comfortable to play with extended periods of time. The color is great and it feels like a high quality controller!

Bought this along with a new Xbox just to play Starfield. You can instantly feel its better quality over the stock controller. Design is awesome! Love the rubbery feel on the bottom of the controller and it just looks great. This thing will be in my hands for many hours as I explore the stars. Thank you Bethesda!

We love this Xbox Sky Cipher Special Edition controller. The transparent blue design looks fantastic in person — stylish, unique, and premium compared to standard controllers. It really stands out, especially paired with our gaming setup. Beyond the looks, performance is exactly what you’d expect from an official Xbox controller: precise sticks, responsive buttons, and very comfortable ergonomics for long gaming sessions. It connected instantly to our Xbox and also works perfectly with PC and cloud gaming. Overall, this is a great combination of aesthetics and reliability. If you want a controller that performs flawlessly and looks amazing, this special edition is absolutely worth it.

Like the way the grip feels, wouldn't have asked for anything else it's perfect. Plus the price is affordable.

nice controller, love the color it’s super bright red

Microsoft owns xbox. What do you expect? It goes well with Windows, & with the option to connect it via bluetooth makes it better than a ps4 controller which needs to be connected via usb. Plus if you have a xbox (which i doubt since consoles are slowly dying) it can be used for 2nd player. Also xbox mode is now on windows, so if your an older individual theres that i guess. If you're a younger individual you can probably utilize it a lot more

Very comfortable and responsive controller. The buttons feel solid, the grip is great for long gaming sessions, and the wireless connection is stable. Battery life is also good. Works perfectly for casual and competitive gaming. Highly recommended.

This was bought as a gift for a 5yro. She loves the color pink. Now we can play Minecraft together. The controller connected without issue. Stays connected without issue. No stickiness on buttons or sticks. The color is bright and vivid. She loves it

The Xbox controller has been improved but keeping the design we all love and enjoy. I love the new "Share" button that allows you to take screenshots instantly. This was the main reason I purchased this controller to use with my Xbox One. Also, the triggers have improved grip which is awesome. The new D-pad is great!! The overall controller feels wonderful and I am very happy with my purchase. I plan to purchase different colors when more colors are available. Also, I am very happy that my battery packs from my Xbox One controllers work flawlessly on the new Xbox controller. Thank you, Microsoft!!

The Xbox Wireless Controller feels great in hand—comfortable, responsive, and durable. Buttons and triggers have a nice tactile feel, making gameplay smooth and precise. I love the textured grips; they help during long sessions. Setup was quick and seamless with my Xbox and PC. Overall, it’s a solid, reliable controller that works perfectly whether you’re casual or hardcore gamer.

Absolutely incredible piece of machinery. Feels amazing in the hand. The grip is wonderful. The sticks are angelic. And to top it of. Its drop dead gorgeous!!

My old controller was getting glitchy and would drift in game so I needed a replacement. I found this one at Best Buy and love the colors. It feels good in the hand and I like the grippy surface on the back as well.

Works exactly as intended and has that crisp, snappy xbox feel I know and love from my teen years. Paired flawlessly with my PC, unlike years past where an xbox was required for firmware updates. Process was easy this go around :) I chose this over the elite series because despite the elite series feeling ASTOUNDING in hand, with tension control etc, eventually the joysticks will drift. It's just a hardware limitation and inevitable. I agree with using the hardware they do; it is better while it lasts. But I cannot justify a controller at 3x the cost for how casually I personally utilize one. If they ever make the controller module based or easily home repairable and sell replacement parts, I'm in. But for now I am very happy with this guy! The clear plastic is extremely nostalgic for me; reminds me of my OG xbox controller S in transparent green :)

The Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black is a fantastic upgrade for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows devices. It features an ergonomic design with textured grips that make it comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The refined D-pad and responsive buttons improve accuracy and control, while the new Share button makes capturing gameplay moments quick and easy. Connectivity is seamless across Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, with minimal lag. The build quality feels durable, and the controller’s design is sleek and modern. Overall, it's a reliable, versatile controller that enhances the gaming experience on multiple platforms.

Absolutely love this controller! The Robot White looks super clean and modern, and it feels great in hand — solid, but not heavy. The textured grips are a big upgrade from the older models, and the new D-pad is super responsive. Works flawlessly on my Xbox Series X and even connected easily to my Windows PC via Bluetooth. Battery life is solid, and there’s minimal input lag. Perfect for both casual and competitive gaming!

I've been gaming with Xbox since the original launch console so I've grown accustomed to all their controllers over the generations and this is the most solid one yet. The aesthetics of the Series controllers are very clean and pleasing. Nothing garish or hard to understand about it. As soon as you look at it you know exactly what everything is supposed to do and how it functions. The Shock Blue color is especially gorgeous. It's such a rich deep blue color. Coming from the Xbox One controller the only BIG new feature is the dedicated share button. I'm using this controller on PC for now and I've only used on Steam and currently Steam does not support this button. I'm sure if I used the Xbox service on PC it might support the button but I haven't tried it yet. The rest of the new things on the controller are just quality of life improvements. Textured undersides where your hands grip and over the triggers. USB C to keep up with the times. The D-Pad is especially nice and might be in my top 3 if not my number 1 d-pad of all time. It clicks with every press and the four main directions are raised higher to make it clear which one you are pressing. I tried this out with Street Fighter V and I was whipping out shoryukens and hadokens with ease I haven't felt since using a Sega Saturn controller or the Neo Geo Pocket Color's little joy stick. The controller may not be as forward thinking as the Switch's Joy Cons or the Playstation 5's DualSense but it is probably the most solid standard controller to date from any manufacturer.

I love this controller so much! The grip on the bottom is fantastic. I went into best buy one day to get a gift and walked out with this too because of how beautiful the colors were. 10/10 controller!

This Controller has lasted me a very long time and also happy with the grip and the color because Blue is my favorite Color, played many games with this Controller and never disappointed and not once did I have stick drift

Purchased for my kid and she LOVES it- color is bright and distinguished, buttons and joysticks responsive, her setup is in a small living room and no connectivity issues. Purchased online and received promptly and securely packed. Sweet!

Everything works perfectly , i love the product & the way it looks & feels while gaming ! so happy this was one of my choices
