    as far as the controller goes i like the new directional button design it's also more clicky and the controller feels a little bit smaller. Only problem i had was the controller often was disconnecting from my wireless adapter connected to my pc so i had to update it thru xbox app in windows store.

    Awesome upgrade. Purchased this for the previous gen consoles, Xbox one x. It works great and the feel of the controller is somehow better than an already great controller. The d-pad is an improvement I didn’t know I needed. The share button is incredibly useful. Not sure if I’ll go back to the previous Xbox controller.

    I purchased this controller not to use with Xbox, but PC. It's worked out great; considering I'm a die hard Playstation fan. I really like the ergonomic feel and fluidity of the joysticks. Well done Microsoft.

    Slightly changed from the previous version. I like it all except for the fact that since the changed the battery cover, I need to get a new controller dock/charger. Womp womp.

    This controller provides wonderful improvements to an already incredible controller. Well constructed. Buttons, analog sticks, and triggers are firm. Good, quality feel. I will say that although it isn't as loud as the original xbox one controller, it's not a quiet controller by any stretch of the imagination.
