    THIS controller is actually working well and doesn't have stick drift. However, I've purchased 3 of the same over the last few years and they all got stick drift pretty immediately. So that's roughly $240 to get one functioning controller. XBox's problem. Such a known issue that Best Buy only gives a 14 day return window. You have to fork over $20 bucks to extend that to 2 years. Probably worth the $20 bucks though considering.

    On launch day, I was very happy to secure a XBOX Series X - a hugely in demand next generation console. I was able to get the unit from a company that has a red and white bullseye as its corporate logo. Based on observing the difficulty in which people are having getting the console, I figured there might be supply-demand issues for other critical components such as this product so I purchased on during Best Buy Black Friday Thanksgiving special. So far this product has remained in its box (unopened). I did get a sizeable discount on this product with the Best Buy Thanksgiving Sale special pricing. I have been using the black controller that came with the console and enjoy it very much. My only fear is that the controller might suffer the same irregular potentiometer drift issue that I experienced with the previous XBOX console generation (XBOX One X). I have about 5 controllers and all but 1 suffered from that annoying drift issue which made many game unplayable such as COD:MW where tight control of the analog stick is imperative. If the stick in neutral position is drifting, it is very difficult to overcome that during gameplay.

    I owned a 20th Anniversary controller and loved it because of the rubber back. It makes an already great controller that much better and I recommend that everyone get one of Xbox’s special edition controllers (most of their Special editions have the rubber grip) if they’re able because of it. If you’re not wanting to drop a bit more to get the Elite series with back paddles this is a great middle ground between the standard and elite. The price point being $80 for the Starfield one specifically stings, but it’s a very beautiful controller. If this one is too much I still really recommend any special colorway standard.

    It's a Xbox Controller which are usually great. This one is no different, I think includes additional texture surface underneath the hand holds. Well it sync'd with no problem on my PC. Battery life is excellent as I'm still 60% and it's been a month.

    Using the controller for gaming on my Windows 10 PC. It is a really nice controller to use. Perfect weight and balance. I also like the texture and feel of it. Buttons and sticks work very well and perfectly calibrated out of the box. Plus the red color is just cool! Still on first set of batteries after a month of regular use.
