    Another excellent controller designed by Xbox, They tweaked and redesigned a familiar layout with different media buttons a omnidirectional d-pad. The X-box button is flush now with no indent like in the original, creating a more refined look with your Xbox collection. All the buttons and joysticks work great after months of use with no sign of wear either!
