    Bought a Series X and got a great deal on the controller. By far my favorite color they have ever come out with.

    The weight and texture of the controller give it an unmatched high-quality feeling. Durable and easy to repair.

    Bought this controller thinking it wild be nice to upgrade from my current XBOX one controller. I've had that controller for 2 years and still have no issues. This one started having trouble 4 months into ownership. There was some stick drift occurring in March, but I didn't know that was the case at the time. By that time my warranty just passed. I only use my XBOX for media and occasional gaming. Never been thrown once in the months of ownership. XBOX/Microsoft will not talk to you about controller issues via chat or over the phone. I feel like I wasted money and stuck with this garbage unless i find a third party repair center. I say save your money and if possible go to Playstation. My controller of 5 years still works perfectly fine.

    It works. Using for Xbox one x. Coming from the previous gen controller, this one feels cheaper.

    The husband loves controller but we need a new rechargeable battery as the ones we have don’t work due to slightly different back than older models.

    The controller looks so much nicer than all of my others and the rubber grips make long gaming nights easier when it comes to perspiration.

    As long as controllers go, these are pretty good, we bought two for a "gaming" birthday party, this got non stop used for over 14 hours. Not a problem.

    I have had this controller it’s a really good controller but when I bought it from Best Buy the home button has to be pressed hard to work and the headphone jack is really loose luckily I have a 2 year warranty hopefully they didn’t give me this one because of my warranty but most likely it’ll be my last time buying here
