    This is my first new controller since they upgraded the design. Have to say, the grip and feel of the buttons are superb.

    Awesome controller. The grips have a texture to them that the other colored controllers don't. Will pickup another one when it's on sale.

    It's great. Not much to complain on here. I'm not a pro player so I can't really nitpick here. I love it and the color scheme. Going to add the mod to get a few paddle butts eventually. But overall it's a great controller.

    It’s as pretty as the picture it feels even better although I wish the arrow pad was a soft transition rather than a click transition

    I bought this for my grandson's Xbox x. He says it feels weightier and has a better grip. Likes it more than the first gen models and is a good backup to his Elite controller. Has some added features and responds well.

    Good controller, after having different types (with pads, wired, etc) this is a great starting/basic controller. Battery life is alright. But for extended xbox use id recommend either rechargeable batteries for this controller or a wired controller.

    The best shaped controller ever just got better. However, it would be nice to see a little new tech added, similar to what Sony did, in order to give it a more new-gen feel. Though I still believe this is the vastly superior controller in terms of ergonomics.

    So far so good, color is bright and lively and buttons aren’t sticking so that’s a plus.
