    The right bumper of last controller broke so I had to purchase a new one. Hopefully this model of controller is built differently from the one that comes from factory with your xbox. I got the Stellar Purple color and it looks good

    Easy to set up on my pc and has been a dream since. I've messed around a bit with the gaming menu, which seems nice. I didn't get the chargeable battery pack, but I've got some rechargable AAs that I swap out as needed. And they last pretty long!

    Solid build and looks great. Light is also a little brighter because it illumnates the internal of the controller as well

    The "feature" I have been looking for in these controllers have finally arrived. The connection to the USB wire has finally changed from micro USB to USB-C. FINALLY!!! Overall, the build quality is as solid as it has always been from the Xbox team with a slight modification to the D-Pad; a welcome addition. I and many like me are slightly upset about making the controller smaller, but it is not something you won't get over after an hour of gameplay.

    I have owned every Xbox console since generation one. This generation of Microsoft Xbox controllers has been a mixed bag. This is my fourth controller since I bought the series x the year it launched. I have had thumbstick drift, shoulder buttons sticking, and just reduced performance with the accuracy of the thumbsticks. The build and fit are exceptional from a feel and appearance pov, but the longevity is suspect.

    I ordered an open-box controller listed as 10 excellent condition to replace my worn-out controller with serious stick drift issues. Sorry to say, the controller I received looked worn, included incorrect parts and was even more worn out than the old controller I was replacing, and had even worse drift. Disappointing. On the plus side, return was easy and service was fine when I returned it the local BB store. Sales person was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I'll take 25% of the blame for being frugal and going after an open-box in the first place, but what I received was not what was advertised. I've had good luck with other open-box items over the years at BB, but on this one, my luck ran out.
