    Husband likes to game on the desktop a lot and his old xbox 350 controller was already faulting on him. So I got this as a gift for him. He absolutely loves the convenience of not having a wire connected and that he can play from a far distance.

    This is my 7th controller in just over 5 years. Depends what you are using it for. If it's a fighting game I would say no to this new iteration. The new d pad is extremely uncomfortable to slide across for any quarter circle motions. If it's for a shooter I do like the feel of the textured plastic. The USB C connection is a welcome addition too. Hopefully it's not like the older models that have broken after 5-9 months of use.

    Loved it the first week to week and a half as I've always wanted a purple controller, buttons are sticking horribly they are constantly getting stuck and the controller is making a weird clicking noise on the right trigger I think I got a bad defective controller. Bringing back to see if I can exchange

    I LOVE this controller. I had my eye on the blue version but then I saw this on the market and decided to go with it. Great wireless connectivity to my PC via a Bluetooth 4.2 adapter. I get to play all my Xbox Game Pass games on an actual Xbox controller. Feels great, plays great, looks great. The size is perfect too.

    Best controller ever. Period. The PS5 controller may have some extra features to add immersion, but nothing beats the feel of the classic Xbox controller. Almost unchanged from Xbox One (don't fix what isn't broken), the Xbox Series X controller feels great with any hand size and will ensure precision and accuracy during gameplay.
