My husband absolutely loves it! I made this purchase on June 11, 2023 (the WEEK of OUR WEDDING!) and now it’s 2025, we’re purchasing a laptop for him on January 23 at around 11:00! What are the odds??? Just WOW! But overall, he really enjoys gaming and Best Buy has proven to be reliable with all our game-related purchases. We look forward to buying more in 2025!

Sweet controller! Like the OG version and brand new! These just came out and got it for cheaper than a regular one! Needed a new hockey controller for the series X, grip feels great, little heavier than original controller but the grip on the Thumb-sticks and back of the handles are very much like elite controller but for sports the elites thumb-sticks are terrible. Thank you Best Buy was a steal for Black Friday!!

Excellent controller love the blue color. It's nice to have two different color controllers . The only thing I recommend is replacing the batteries with the rechargeable ones.

First off the color scheme is the best I’ve seen on any controller. Color shift from blue to purple as you move the controller is just incredible. Plus the grips on the are a game changer.

Very sturdy and cool! Not bad any issues setting it up for Windows.

I'm not a gamer but do have a high end PC and wanted to give gaming a try. This controller was comfortable, easy to set up and use, and seems to do a great job.

Love the design, good grip (comfortable to hold in your hands). Easy to learn and adjust if you are new to the Xbox ecosystem.
Con. Battery doesn't last but I heard I can purchase rechargable batteries for it

I cannot express how much I love this controller! Wow Bethesda and Microsoft, great job guys! I love the look of the design and it feels great also. Ready for Starfield now! And no I did not get paid by Microsoft and Bethesda! You have to give credit where credit is due!

My son loves the look of his new controller. And since we always get the protection plan for $20 the replacements are free, definitely a must for kids under 12

My first ever Xbox controller

This is my first ever Xbox controller!.
Didn't know what to expect to be honest, but now im really enjoying it.
Nice design, grab feels good.
The color is awesome.
Buttons feels decent. Click sound is too loud.
Triggers are great, now i like them more than the PS Dualshock design.
Analogs work fine.
D-Pad could be better, have a loud Click sound too.
Tested with Fortnite, Warzone and Forza 7.
Thanks

I am fortunate to have a BestBuy near me (walking distance), so whenever I am in need of a new XBox controller its no problem. The movement sticks usually go out after a number of years and continuously play. So id say... maybe every 6 mos to a year I'll need a new one. I usually wait for black friday or cyber Monday to get a good price and get 2-3 one as the replacement and the others as backups.

Great controller with a light textured grip. I love the color transition when you move the controller around in different lighting. I purchased this for my pic and pairing was easy
