    Great controller and great deal for warranty. I play a lot of solo player games and Rocket League. The stick drift usually takes longer than normal to start affecting me, but I’m able to come by and fix cheaper than other places charge.

    Controllers works great after one year of use. One thing, I recommend going in and updating the firmware once every so often cuz otherwise the controller will randomly disconnect while playing. I did not see that solution advertised anywhere by Xbox or Microsoft. I ended up finding the solution on Reddit. But besides that small issue, I've been having a blast with it.

    A Much Needed Improvement Over Xbox One Controller

    The Series X controller lineup is far better than its Xbox One counterpart. While the controller is a little smaller, this change is for the better and truly doesn’t feel much different yet it does provide a more ergonomically sound fit in your hands. The stippling on the triggers and rear of the controller really improves grip. Hopefully this doesn’t wear too much with use but I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. So far, I’ve had no instances of ‘stick drift’ like I did with the Xbox One series of controllers. Overall, this was exactly the upgrade I wanted. Highly recommended!

    It’s a good controller that’s easy to use and feels good in hands. The grin on the back definitely helps when your into a game and your hands are getting sweaty. Even tho the price is a bit too high I still recommend it. The color is also nice. I’ve been using it for quite a while and had no problems except changing the battery once or twice in a few months. Over all, it’s a great buy and I recommend it.

    Minor improvements, but still the same flaws.

    This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.

    Great controller! Love the vibrant colors and love the rubber feel that helps to keep a good grip on the controller during intense games. Would definitely recommend, BUT only small issue would be the price. Paying over $60 for a controller seems a bit excessive imo.

    Alright, fellow space cadets and gaming gurus, buckle up your seatbelts and prepare for lift-off because the Xbox Stellar Shift Controller is about to take your gaming experience to infinity and beyond! First off, let's talk design. This thing looks like it was crafted by aliens with a passion for gaming. The sleek, intergalactic design had me feeling like I was Captain Kirk navigating through a cosmic battlefield. Plus, the buttons are so smooth they make butter jealous. Now, onto performance. Strap yourselves in for a ride smoother than a zero-gravity joyride. This controller is so responsive, it's like having psychic powers over your game character. I was dodging bullets, slaying dragons, and outsmarting opponents with the finesse of a ninja on roller skates. But wait, there's more! This controller is so intuitive, it practically reads your mind. It knows when you need that extra boost to defeat the final boss or execute the perfect headshot. It's like having a personal gaming sidekick who always has your back – or in this case, your thumbs! May the force be with your thumbs
