The red on this is a solid true red
Looks great and easy to spot on the sofa before you sit on it...lol. Controller feels good (texture grip and triggers) and works well. Definitely worth the BestBuy protection plan. It's cheap and just a bit of stick drift and you will be glad you got it.

First time owning a Xbox Controller. Love how the controller has ridges on the handles, joysticks and triggers. The back triggers are really nice and responsive. Good lightweight compared to Nintendo Switch 1 Pro Controller.

The Pro: This controller is probably the best controller I have ever had. the redesign and adding the share button are a plus. It feels good in your hands
Cons: if you are using regular batteries and not rechargeable you will go through a lot of batteries. It seems to use a lot more energy than the old ones.
But I'm not bashing them since you can get the rechargeable battery. It's a bit expensive though

Beautiful controller that works perfectly. The white is so clean with the small accents and metallic d-pad. This is one of my new favorite Xbox controllers. Whether you are a fan of Starfield or not, this still looks gorgeous.

This controller offers excellent grip, especially from the back, making it comfortable for long gaming sessions. The joysticks also provide solid traction for better control, and its lightweight design sets it apart from heavier alternatives without sacrificing quality. The buttons remain responsive and don’t stick even after extended use, and it's easy to clean overall. The charging port on top is sturdy and doesn’t bend easily, which adds to its durability. The D-pad is both responsive and visually appealing, and the overall button layout feels natural and user-friendly. For the price, this controller delivers great performance, comfort, and reliability—definitely a purchase worth every penny.

I was having issues with other bluetooth controllers not showing up as an option when connecting to my PC, so finally decided to get a Microsoft controller. It immediately connected and so far has been the only controller that vibrates when connected to PC wirelessly which is nice. Color is also cute. I also bought rechargeable battery packs to save money on batteries.

I recently bought the Xbox Series X|S Controller (Carbon Black), and overall, I’m really happy with it. The build quality is excellent — it feels sturdy in hand and the textured grips on the back are a nice improvement over the previous generation. The buttons are responsive, and the new hybrid D-pad is a big upgrade for games that rely on precise directional input.

This stunning controller is the perfect shade of red. Hard to stop looking at it. Not to mention it feels a lot more solid than the standard controllers.

Cute controller, but definitely it lags a lot and glitches. I find myself in the middle of a game and the controller will lose connection or just die randomly even though the battery is full.

Exactly what you want. Buy this plus the battery pack and it’ll last you constant days or months of play. Comfy, sturdy, simple, uncontested.

Great controller, works as expected. Love the feel of the grip on the handles, even after long hours of gameplay. Developed stick drift like any other controller after a time, but the Service Team fulfilled the warranty with no issues!

The small upgrades over the last model of Xbox controllers is way more noticeable when in hand and improves on a already great design. The awesome colors, textured backside, new Dpad, USB-C, Bluetooth and small touches like matching color Xbox home and buttons is great, get it even if you don’t have the console

Have had this controller for almost 2 years. I play about 4 times a week for a couple hours. I've had many controllers last me about 6-8 months and then they start to get stick drift and it sucks trying to play COD. Not sure if its luck but I'm running with it!

XBOX vs DUALSENSE

Once i was able to secure a Series X, of cource the next purchase is another Controller. I like vibrant colors, red one of my favorite color in controllers. Althought i expected the red to be a bit more vibrant, it still looks stunning. The grip is great, keeps my hands from sweating as much when using the previous xbox controllers. I have to be honest and say that my favorite current gen controller is the DualSense. The DualSense has a nice weight to it, and ergonomically it feels better in the hand, well in my hands at least. The pros for xbox controllers are the removeable batteries and not having to wait until their fully charged. I play a lot of racing and shooting games. I have F1 2020 for both Series X and PS5. There is constant push of the triggers for braking and accelerating. After playing for an hour or so, my hands start hurting on the Xbox controller. The DualSense playing the same game, my hands feel great after a long game session. Overall both controllers are great. I highly recommend either one depending on what console you have.
