    Nice tactile sense. Not a major change, but continues to be a solid and near indestructible device. Though one would think after all these year of no significant changes, that they could have been able to get the price per unit down a bit.

    Great grips, controller is overall a upgrade from my og xbox 1 controller. "Clickiness" is also much improved. Considering that it only $10 than the base model, the shimmering color is worth it alone, and the grips make it just a bit better. Pairs seamlessly and efficiently between my phone and PC on a whim. Great Product!
