    My kids love that they can quickly identify which controller is theirs that we purhased for Christmas. There is no more arguing on who the controller belongs to!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Never encountered an issue with one of these Xbox controller. Would recommend a rechargable battery pack to pair with it so you are not replacing the AA batteries every month.

    Nice upgrade over previous gen Xbox controller. Grippier surface on the backside and triggers, and the D-pad update is really nice. Only quirk is that this gen is lot noisier than the last, esp the D-pad is extremely clicky. Not a con for me, but just expect it to be a fairly noisy controller when playing.

    Controller looks amazing, feels great unfortunately the stick started drifting really bad after a few uses. It's past the 90 days so pretty much have to eat it. I just wish they would make quality products that last.

    I use third party wired controller for my xbox until recently I decided to upgrade to wireless or the cable is not long enough for my new couch location :) The controller is light weight & buttons are really good. The triggers are excellent & the response time of the wireless protocol is realtime as well. However there are two drawbacks (and hence providing only 4 starts) - You need to use AA battery (no rechargeable battery inside) - The wireless does loose connections often for 1-2secs.

    It’s great. My son loves it. I don’t know the difference or what it does or how to use it or what’s great about it. I just know that he is very happy with it. So there you have it. This review brought to you by my 18-yo son.

    This is a great looking controller. I had to buy a second one because the kids will fight over it. I purchased them on Black friday so I also saved some money.

    Couldn’t find a Xbox Series X/S, but wanted to share in the is basically an X-Box one controller with the extra button for capturing video images. The only problem, which is entirely on me, is that I keep hitting the capture button accidentally and getting screenshots of boring not worth recording images.

    Amazing controller for the XBox. We got an additional one for my son to play together on our Xbox Series S and it was easy to install on the console wirelessly and set up for my son to have the console recognize as his controller whenever he usted the console.
