Beautiful controller
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The iridescent purple is gorgeous! The rubber part on the underside of the grips is marbled purples, and that's a really nice touch. The rest of it is gray plastic. Works like every other Xbox controller otherwise. Haven't had any trouble connecting, and I put rechargeable batteries in them that can charge by just putting the controller in the charging base. That's why the battery door is black instead of gray in my pictures. The stock battery door matched the rest of the gray plastic. I did add joystick cushions to help ease the strain on my thumbs because they are concave on top but pretty small, so without the cushions that bowl shape and/or the texture on the side of it really irritated my thumbs after half an hour or so of gameplay. The cushions made it much more comfortable for extended play. It also helped it stay cleaner. The dip on the joystick tends to hold dust and stuff and then is hard to wipe out without a qtip or something like that.

Grip is amazing 10/10. Beautiful color. Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The grip is amazing and perfect for playing Fortnite. The color is phenomenal in person. My absolute favorite. It makes me wants to play my xbox a lot more because I can handle the game easier. Everything is just better to be honest. I cannot use the regular control anymore. Definitely worth it. I’ve gotten compliments from friends/family also.

Great Xbox/PC controller
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome. Works better than my Elite 2 Controller, unfortunately. Nothing special, but it does the job i need it to! The color is sweet, too. I also use it with my PC and it works great. Switching between your paired devices is super easy; just double press the pair button inbetween the LB and RB buttons to swap between your paired console/pc.

XBOX vs DUALSENSE
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Xbox Controllers are the Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love the color. The blue (front) and the white (back) really compliment each other very well. I only trust the xbox controllers from Microsoft becuase the ones I have from my 360 are still operational. The controllers for the X|S models feel great. Once you put them in your hands the hand/finger placement feel very natural. Having played on the PS5 controllers, I can say that the xbox controllers are way better.

Gorgeous controller, might be my favorite so far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the most gorgeous controller officially released yet! The back texture is on par with Horizon one, which give you extra edge on holding them and playing with triggers. There are many Easter egg touches here and there. Money well spent!

Xbox Controller Shock Blue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!!

Solid controller, looks good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Beautifully Clean Design
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

It's an xbox controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful iridescence, changes color from blue to purple. Negative is that it takes AA batteries, but you have the option to replace those with a rechargeable battery pack and charging cradle, so no switching batteries. Not as convenient as playstation's built-in battery, but have noticed slightly longer life in comparison. If you're new to xbox, coming from PS or Nintendo the face button configuration can take weeks of retraining muscle memory ("X" is in a different spot on all three).

Gold Shadow Special Edition
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This specific controller is amazing, the colors are beautiful! With the black and gold combination, it has to be on of the coolest editions Microsoft has come out with. I love the blacked out buttons, and the golden d-pad. It also has rubber grips on the sides! This contoller is worth every bit of $70. Purchased the geek squad protection plan aswell. Very satisfied with BestBuy and this product!

The color is really cool
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the color looks really nice, it might just be because im a sucker for clear electronics but its really grown on me. The rubberized grips are also a nice touch, they feel good to touch and I feel like I have more of a grip with them. One thing that kind of disappointed me is that the triggers arent made of real metal they are just plastic painted to look like metal, while they look nice I feel like they will get scratched and damaged more easily. Overall I really like the color and the added touches and fell like its worth the extra money than the standard controller.

Great controller except one thing!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller! At first it felt a bit smaller and that’s because it is, so now kids can use it easier than before. But other than that, the texture on the back is great for grip even though it isn’t rubber, and I’ve found that it keeps my hands from feeling sticky or sweaty during long gaming sessions! Also the share button is an amazing feature that I personally use all the time to take snapshots really quickly without pausing the game, and hold it to take clips. Lastly, the new d-pad is super nice and doesn’t hurt to rest your thumb there for games that use it. The USB-C upgrade is also very welcome, it was about time. Overall the controller feels great in the hands and more sturdy than previous Gen controllers. I only wish that they would improve the vibration mechanism inside.

RED is the right color!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this controller to compliment my new XBOX Series X. It’s basically the same standard controller that comes with the Xbox series X, just has a very cool red color. If you ever used an Xbox controller in the past then you’ll really like this gem. This controller does feel a little better then last generation controller. Please keep in mind that this controller gives no performance advantage at all ! So if you suck at playing games, then you will still be horrible at playing games just with a cool RED controller.

Very High Quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller works very well, and is identical to my original xBox One Series S. Of course it has one major difference, the color. Everything on the controller is identical to the original in shape and functionality. Also, certain areas have a extra area of texturing for improved grip. This controller accepts batteries for wireless capability, or a type c android cable for connection gameplay. Again, same as the original controller included with my Series S console.

Different battery cover
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first controller from the new series s/x generation. The improved grips on the back and trigger buttons are great. I love the neon highlighter color. The one thing they don't warn you about is the slight change to the battery cover. I had to purchase new rechargable batteries because the 2 notches on the old battery covers were slightly further apart.

If You Love Blue
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The aqua shift works just like any Xbox series X controller. There's nothing new or different in that department. But here it does set itself apart is of course the shifting blue color and the the back rubber grips. In the light the controller does look like it shifts between light blue to a little darker blue. On the edges sometimes you can see it shift to almost going to a purple blue color but not all the way. It all depends on the light and the way it hits the surface of the controller. Also has a sparkly look to it. Kinda like Vegeta's blue evolution transformation in dbs. The grips are also nice. They don't extend all the way to the back of the controller but to me that's fine. I read that the design on the grip is also unique to each aqua shift controller so no two will be exactly alike. So if you love blue and you like collecting controllers then this is a no brainer.
