Works great and a great design love the grip and the color scheme

Like the color, grips are good, like the controller overall.

The Xbox Wireless Controller is one of the most comfortable and reliable controllers available. Its ergonomic design fits well in the hands, making it great for long gaming sessions. The textured grip on the triggers and back helps provide better control, while the responsive buttons and precise thumbsticks deliver an excellent gaming experience. The controller connects easily via Bluetooth to Xbox consoles, PCs, and many mobile devices, making it very versatile. Battery life is solid with AA batteries, and it also supports rechargeable battery packs for added convenience. Overall, the Xbox Wireless Controller offers outstanding comfort, performance, and compatibility. Whether you’re playing casually or competitively, it’s a dependable choice that’s well worth the price.

nice controller, love the color it’s super bright red

I used an Xbox One controller for light PC gaming the past number of years, and figured I'd upgrade to a Series S/X controller upon seeing it on sale. Figured I'd relegate the One controller to "guest" duty the rare times I may have a guest over for a gaming session. In terms of ergonomics, the Series controller feels real similar to the One before it, which is to say: it's a comfy piece of plastic. The textured grip & triggers of the Series controller make it even more comfortable. Also nice to see USB C for charging, though for a 2020s-era piece of tech, I reckon most people would expect it to be there. It paired about as easy with my PC as I could hope for, nothing dramatic to report on that front. One unfortunate thing with this controller that's been carried over from the One: Why, in the year 2024, is the rechargable battery a separate purchase? Why, this far into the 2020s, do we need batteries like gamers did when they had GameBoys in the 1990s/early 2000s? Sony's had rechargeable batteries in their PlayStation controllers since the PS3 days, Nintendo moved away from batteries in controllers after the Wii, it's baffling to me that Microsoft keeps opting for an antiquated charging scheme when the Switch Pro controller & DualSense today cost pretty darn close to what the Xbox Series controller costs without a separate charging kit (at their respective MSRP prices). But I digress, this controller is still a solid one for PC gaming. If you can find this on sale & don't mind having to either shell out a bit more for batteries or a proper charging kit, you can do a lot worse than this. If you find an older One controller for significantly cheaper, I low-key doubt you'd miss the textured grip & triggers that overly much. Overall, I'd grade this a 3.5/5 mostly out of spite for the battery situation, though I'll spite my spite & round the score up to a 4/5 for today.

Needed to reppace my old seies X controller that got damaged so I got this one. Its a good controller and provides everything you need. Wireless, feels like the series X controller, and looks kinda cool.

Great controller! Love the color, the grip is very good too

Beautiful color and seems to work well, hopefully it lasts longer than the last one, before the sticks are drifting.

Works great & I like the color. Connects easily with my system.

This thing is awesome. Feels super comfortable in the hands and looks amazing, absolutely love the colors and design. It's what made me want to get it over another solid color version. When playing it's better than my original Xbox controller that came with the series x, very accurate.

Microsoft owns xbox. What do you expect? It goes well with Windows, & with the option to connect it via bluetooth makes it better than a ps4 controller which needs to be connected via usb. Plus if you have a xbox (which i doubt since consoles are slowly dying) it can be used for 2nd player. Also xbox mode is now on windows, so if your an older individual theres that i guess. If you're a younger individual you can probably utilize it a lot more

I recently purchased the Xbox Wireless Controller in Astral Purple from Best Buy for my middle daughter's Xbox Series X. The purchase was smooth, and the delivery was prompt. The controller's deep purple hue instantly captivated my daughter. Beyond its striking appearance, it delivers on performance with responsive controls and comfortable ergonomics, enhancing her gaming experience. Versatility is a key feature - it seamlessly connects to both her Xbox and PC, expanding her gaming options. The long battery life and USB-C charging are practical bonuses she appreciates. This Astral Purple controller has quickly become my daughter's go-to for all her gaming needs. Its blend of style and functionality makes it a standout choice. This Astral Purple model from Best Buy is a stellar option for anyone seeking a reliable, visually stunning controller for Xbox or PC gaming. It's been a perfect match for my daughter's gaming preferences.

I love it! It’s just like the picture if not even better in person! It’s got the grips on the side that are a swirly purple. The colors are just gorgeous! Definitely recommend.

Love the controller. Its beautiful. Premium feel. Zero issues connecting to any of my devices. Tablet, xbox, phone, handhelds. Its perfect.

- The new blue is very vibrant and really pops with the white backing. - The textured feel is great for grip when hands get a little sweaty during prolonged gaming sessions. - The new D-pad design feels better than the old design from past models. - Feels great in the hand and feels very solid compared to the last couple runs of the Xbox One old style controllers. If you really like the blue the extra $5 is worth it. I personally love how it looks and don't regret paying the small difference in cost between this one compared to the other two colors in white and black.

Works as advertised. Great colors, daughter loves it. Connected easily to her firestick for stream gaming via Gamepass. Slightly pricey but was in a pinch so this is what we ended up with.

My son really likes this Xbox wireless controller. It feels sturdy, connects easily, and works perfectly with his Xbox and PC. The buttons are responsive and comfortable to use for long gaming sessions. Overall, it’s a great quality controller and is worth the purchase.

The buttons have the perfect feel when pressed, not too soft and great response. Very comfortable grip. Connects perfectly to my Xbox.

Great controller. The blue is a little lighter in person but not too much different. It still looks really good and feels good in your hands. The series x controllers really feel great in your hands. They may not have as many features as the ps5 controller but they are definitelykre comfortable and durable. They use a USB c plug now so when using the rechargeable battery pack it charges very quickly. All in all great controller you can't go wrong with any of the color choices but I personally like blue so this is my winner.

Great controller for PC gaming and I presume for XBOX as well. The texture on the hand grips definitely helps with keeping the controller stable during those intense firefights. The control sticks feel comfortable and don't require a lot of movement to direct. The new d-pad is definitely a step up from the older XBOne d-pad. I've been using this since early November for primarily 3rd person shooters and racing games. The difference in input response in wireless mode versus plugged in is negligible. I do like that Microsoft built this controller with USB-C for the connector. The only real complaint I have is that the controller still doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery. So you'll need to get rechargable for this if you don't want to be replacing alkalines. Also, the purple shimmer effect on the shell is absolutely amazing. Pros: -Comfortable rubber textured grips -Comfortable rubber textured sticks -Improved d-pad -USB-C connector for wired play and charging on some battery packs. -Works on Xbox One, Series S and X, and PC. -Bluetooth connection is stable on Windows 11 Cons -No built-in battery pack, will need to buy rechargeables or invest heavily in alkalines depending on play time.
