    What can you say? You can pay full price for them, or you can do what I do and get them Open-Box Excellent and save yourself same change! Being a new color, for those that have been gaming for 30 of their 40 years, it does have a nice color shift depending on its surroundings. My small gaming theatre is set up with nine Hue bulbs Dolby Atmos via the Vizio Elevate centered around a Sony Bravia X85. Like a new controller, you have that initial stiffness of the buttons, which actually like a lot. So yea, if you can ever get a controller $20+ off, just get it. Just keep it boxed and when you other one eventually dies or just reaches EOL then you a brand spankin' new one!

    This controller looks beautiful (love the color) and when it works, is awesome. However, these controllers just should not have problems with stick drift after just 6 months of careful use. That's been the case with all 3 of these that I have. Microsoft needs to redesign so this doesn't happen. I know these are user serviceable most of the time but I shouldn't have to take the time to take all 3 controllers apart and tinker to hopefully fix them. It gets 3 stars because I really like it when it works properly. I guess I have to recommend it because when on sale, they are relatively affordable as compared to some of the other obnoxiously expensive options.

    Great controller with a textured grip, so when your hands are sweating from long periods it won't slip out of your hand. Also the buttons and stick are stronger than the previous controllers. Not to mention the color stands out so it's easier to find. This controller will make gaming easier even on the old generation console.

    This is the exact color i chose to get in Xbox’s design lab. Im just glad i waited and didnt buy it then. I gor this controller on sale for $49.99. That makes it a lot cheaper than the design lab cotrollers. Of course u might think anout going thr design lab route so u can get the rubber grips. DONT! I purchased the elite 1 and 2 controllers and on both of them the rubber grip peeled off of noth if them. I baby all of my stuff including controllers. It appears that when your hand’s sweat the sweat disloves the adhesive holding the rubber grips. Thats why I like the plastic grips with this controller. Its not flat plastic, but has a plastic textured grip.

    I mean, it's an Xbox controller. Maximum ~$65, minimum, sometimes when on sale it's ~$40. Fits nicely in your hands. It can be wired and wireless if you choose. I mean, it's a controller, nothing mind blowing about it. Four stars cause its a good controller. It works with Windows, Xbox and your (Android) phone if needed.
