Controller functions great and I love the color! The textured grip and feel of the trigger buttons is such an improvement over the standard xbox controller. Even the texture on the joysticks is an improvement. I bought this controller "open box" and it seemed brand new, minus one little scuff which i was able to wipe off easily.

To me the color on the controller look sick so I had to get it. The quality feels good, the buttons, analog sticks, triggers and the vibration. Better than the later controller models. I get lazy just using the keyboard and mouse... I just want to sit back and use a controller and so far I haven’t run into any problems with it. I also bought a rechargeable battery pack even though it comes with AA batteries I rather just get the charger as well. IT ALSO CAME WITH GAME PASS CODE!!

This a great controller. Well worth the money, yea Microsoft didn't change much, but they didn't have to. If it ain't broke dont fix it. They added textured grips, a share button and an enhanced D-pad. Other than that, its the same controller. Idk if its just me or what, but this controller feels more durable than previous models also. I guess just because its new, but whatever.
Well worth $60 and its a steal at $40 for black Friday. Which i would have waited a couple more days. Could have saved $20 but im not too mad about it.
Get one now !!!
We're thrilled that you're enjoying the updated features and comfortable grip of your new Carbon Black Xbox wireless controller. Thank you for sharing your experience; we hope you have a lot of fun playing games with it.
Happy gaming, Chuck Xbox Customer Care

I’ve been using a cheap off-brand controller for the past 3 years and have been looking into getting a new controller for a while now. When I saw the Starfield one come out I ordered it right away. I’ve been playing with it for two days now and I love it! Feels great, has a great weight to it, and is cool to look at.

This series S/X controller is very well designed with rubberized grips, thumb sticks and triggers. It has a lovely design on the front plate of the controller that mixes blue, purple and pink coloring. Front plate is see through and the back is purple.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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!!

Ordered for my girlfriend as a gift for the end of the school year (she’s a public school teacher). Now that she has the summer off, she’s getting more gaming in her schedule. The controller looks great and has been performing as expected.

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!
