    The Xbox Series X controller is pretty nice, love the new textured grip. Otherwise not much of a difference from past gen, maybe feels a bit smaller in the hands.

    I haven't used an Xbox controller since the 360 era, and I bought it for my PC to play Xbox games. It feels really good in my hands. Its light weight even with batteries in it, the buttons don't feel as stiff as the old 360 one, and even the d-pad feels natural despite its weird design. One complaint I do have is that the share, options, and clip button feel a little to small to use, or just not in the right position for functionality. Also I don't see a way to add recharable battery packs in the back which is a shame because that was a nice, connivant feature of the 360 controllers of old. Example, When I needed to turn of the 360 controller quickly, all I needed to was unhook the battery pack and it was done. Now, I have to open the back up and detach a battery to shut it off or wait for it to shut off on it own which wastes battery life. Thankfully mine is wired to my PC but for wireless players this could be a problem.

    Needed a new controller for my Xbox one. This one is for the series x, but is backwards compatible. It's similar feel to the elite controller. So far works great.

    I love the color on this controller. As for the new design, it's not much different from the previous XB controller. I like that Microsoft added some grip to the handles, but I do not like that it's plastic rather than some type of rubber or soft plastic. It's not very comfortable.

    Even though I got this on sale I would still buy this again at full price. The new xbox controllers feel very premium and have a nice weight to it. Triggers have a textured grip now which I am a big fan of. I use this on my PC and so far the bluetooth connection is OK, but I picked up the wireless adapter to have a better connection. The switch over to usb-c connection on these controllers was an amazing upgrade and worth it for me. I love this controlller!
