    Microsoft's latest incarnation of their controller is a great one. Everything I liked about the Xbox One controller is here, but improved. The Shock Blue is really slick. Highly recommended for both Xbox and PC gaming!

    I didn’t have to write my review in November 17, 2022. It was my first time. Red was way nice I had seen it. I liked it. I had some Xbox one controllers.

    I wanted to love this controller. I bought it because the see transparent red plastic looked awesome and reminds me of the 90's and all the see-through tech of that era. However, that's the only good thing that I can say about the controller. I only owned it for 5 months before it started having insufferable stick drift! While I'm playing a game, it just randomly starts to look up to the ceiling and I'm constantly having to bring it back down. Also, I'm not rough with my controllers and I only game like 3 days a week for a couole of hours. Anyway, no matter how many times I took it apart to clean it, nothing worked! This is by far the most expensive and worst xbox controller I've ever owned. I still have the controller that came with my Xbox Series S when I bought it 4years ago, and its a little worn, but still works perfectly. I also think that's what upsets me the most. It's not just the stick drift, it's he fact that I didn't even need a new controller. I just bought this one because I loved the look of it. Unfortunately, though not only was it more expensive than any xbox controller I've ever had, it was also by far the worst quality. And now, after reading the reviews, I'm seeing many one star reviews from gamers that say the same thing about the stick drift problems, so I know that I'm not the only one who's had this issue. Microsoft needs to do better. Especially if we are paying premium prices for these "special edition " controllers.
