Love this color! Works great on a gaming PC. Worked directly out of the box

Cool looking controller, Xbox always makes the coolest controllers ever. Especially themed controllers.

Got this on sale so worth the price. Generally get a little over a year out of the controllers so that’s my expectations. The colorway looks better in person.

Works flawlessly, connects to my PC effortlessly. Love the blue color.

It is a Very good controller, its used everyday. We use it to turn movies and tv shows on prime tv. Or netflix. We have 2 more remote controllers for my sons x box in his room.

Feel great in hand. Cool looking! The sticks feel tight and the triggers feel good compared to my older controller

Works just as expected. No issues whatsoever. Nice color.

I love the color scheme. I use this controller as my all purpose carry. It is the 1 controller that is always in my back pack. I use it with my gaming pc, my Samsung Tab S9 Ultra and my Z fold. I pairs with ease and I love using it especially with emulators. Great Buy!!

Loved the color, huge upgrade from previous controller

Handles really well. Really nice color. Will purchase the rechargeable battery pack soon.

My wife wanted a personal controller and so we got this, It works just like a normal controller but allows her to have a controller in the color she prefers

The Series X controller lineup is far better than its Xbox One counterpart. While the controller is a little smaller, this change is for the better and truly doesn’t feel much different yet it does provide a more ergonomically sound fit in your hands. The stippling on the triggers and rear of the controller really improves grip. Hopefully this doesn’t wear too much with use but I’ll be keeping a close eye on it. So far, I’ve had no instances of ‘stick drift’ like I did with the Xbox One series of controllers. Overall, this was exactly the upgrade I wanted. Highly recommended!

Husband loved it . Had some issues connecting but once done no issues .

The red Xbox controller offers an exceptional gaming experience. Its striking red color not only looks amazing but also stands out in any gaming setup. The controller’s design ensures a comfortable grip, allowing players to play for hours without discomfort. With its precise controls and responsive buttons, the red Xbox controller elevates your gameplay to the next level. It’s perfect for those who want both style and performance in their gaming accessories.

This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.

Color is awesome the price was awesome the controller itself awesome

This controller works amazingly! I love the easy to open packaging it comes in along with the texturing on the grips, triggers, and joysticks. the capture button is my new favorite button on this controller.
