    I didn’t expect to be this impressed, but the Doom The Dark Ages Xbox controller blew me away. The design is absolutely next-level—dark, medieval, and packed with those gritty DOOM vibes. It feels amazing in the hands: solid, well-built, and the textured grip makes long gaming sessions super comfortable.

    I love the color and the texture on the back feels amazing, I've been using it for a while now and it's exactly what you would expect for it being a standard Microsoft Controller.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    The best yet standard Xbox controller

    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 reccomend getting it at a discount not because it only becomes worth it when its at a discount but because it makes the purchase that much sweeter. I chose to get the controller because i heard monster hunter felt better and it was an instant switch. I have 500 hours on mhw and 300 on rise but within 5 hours everything clicked. Aside from games that were originally meant for console its also great for emilated games.

    This controller works great!! I had an issue with my old controller with stick drift and decided to get a new one and was not disappointed. If I had a complaint it would be the batteries die fairly often I don’t know if that’s an issue with all Xbox controllers or just my experience. overall I’m very happy with my purchase!

    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!

    xbox controllers are excellent, and this cipher blue is really cool. Reminds me of the old school see through purple gameboy color in the day but this is blue and a controller. It works perfectly like any other xbox controller and its easy to keep track of controllers with different designs / colors
