    This thing is awesome. Feels super comfortable in the hands and looks amazing, absolutely love the colors and design. It's what made me want to get it over another solid color version. When playing it's better than my original Xbox controller that came with the series x, very accurate.

    Good controller, first one had bad stick drift and didn’t uphold but the second one has been fairly decent. Although the design controllers are a little expensive and just as god as their basic solid color ones.

    I rarely get a moment of peace—but this Xbox controller? Instant therapy. It’s comfy, clicky, and responsive… basically the only thing in my life that doesn’t yell at me when I mess up. Thumbsticks glide smoother than my coffee-fueled morning sanity, and the grip is so good I can finally pretend I’m in control… even if the laundry, homework, and snack requests are still happening around me. Battery life lasts longer than my “quiet time,” which is basically a miracle. If you want a controller that actually understands stress, chaos, and the occasional rage-quit moment, this is it. 10/10 would recommend… and yes, I’ve named mine.

    It seems that Microsoft's new gamepad takes inspiration from the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, offering some of the premium controller's top-notch design features in a more affordable-feeling form. The result is a sleek, affordable and accessible controller, which just feels nice to use.

    Connectivity is fast and easy, whether you’re using it on an Xbox console or pairing it with a PC or mobile device. The wireless performance is strong, and input lag is practically nonexistent. That said, there are a couple of small downsides — the controller still uses AA batteries instead of a built-in rechargeable battery, which can get annoying if you play often. Also, the D-pad could be a bit quieter and more precise for fighting games or retro titles.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I have owned a handful of the new Xbox Series X/S controllers in the past few years, and one thing that I can say for certain is that the new design is much more comfortable and practical than previous models. Although, like many controllers from different brands today, stick drift does seem to happen after a while. With that being said, the color design on this specific controller is very sleek. Great controller!

    **Review for Xbox Wireless Controller (Series X)** The Xbox Wireless Controller for Series X works great! The design feels comfortable in hand, with responsive buttons and smooth, precise analog sticks. The textured grips are a nice touch, making long gaming sessions more enjoyable. It pairs seamlessly with the console, PC, and even mobile devices via Bluetooth. Battery life is solid, and the controller feels durable overall. It’s a reliable and well-built controller that enhances the gaming experience, whether you're playing on Xbox or other platforms. Highly recommended!

    Honestly it feels like a heavier duty controller and it holds well with the rubberized grips. The design is something that had me really liking it, but overall would definitely recommend this controller.

    Feels just as comfortable as the 360 controller, which was nearly perfect in terms of ergonomics. Controller basically only features minor updates. D-pad has been greatly improved. With easier diagonals and a much more satisfying click feedback. Sticks have a more recessed center and better grip on edges. Controller grip is more heavily textured and less slippery, shoulder buttons feel better, triggers are smoother and have a slightly shorter travel and softer feel. There is now an extra share button. Works great on Windows 10 as a gamepad. Connected quickly and easily to my computer's built-in bluetooth, no need for some wonky external adapter like the 360 controller. Had some problems with disconnects at first but those seem to be fixed after updating the controller. (Download the Xbox Accessories app from the windows store, plug the controller in, and update it. Or just plug it into an Xbox). Basically, if you liked the 360 controller but had some complaints about it, this is probably what you were asking for. They apparently have some drift issues (like everyone else) and are involved in a class action suit, but only time will tell if it becomes an issue for me and when. Love the color, hope they continue to add more options down the line, would love a dark purple.

    I didn’t know I needed a pink Xbox controller until I held one—and now my old black one just feels… emotionally unavailable. The color pops without being too loud, and the matte finish gives it a smooth, premium feel. It’s got that classic Xbox comfort, responsive buttons, and solid grip—even during sweaty final-circle moments in Warzone. Bonus: it adds just the right touch of “I game, but make it fashion.”

    The Xbox series controllers are flawless. The color is bold and great to look at. The face buttons are not colored, but you can see the color associated to the buttons on the faceplate. Small grip but not a dealbreaker
