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.

Love how this controller feel I never loose grip while gaming and its easy to connect to any device with bluetooth. The triggers are very responsive and dont get stuck and east to clean also easy to maintain clean. I would recomend this remote to anyone who needs a controller to game with for console or PC.

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.

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.

Different battery cover

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.

I was expecting the controller to be just like any other Xbox controller but with a Starfield pattern. This controller not only looks cool, it feels great holding it. It has a rubberized back side that feels perfect in my hands. Plus, the triggers feel like more than just thin pieces of plastic. Totally worth it, in my opinion.

I really like these newer x box controllers. Grips on the back of the controller feel nice and helps from dropping your controller in those tense moments playing. The capture button in the center of the controller makes capturing game clips so much easier. Controller seems a little smaller than my other x box controllers, which I like more. Great product at a decent price. Loving the new color schemes also.

The Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller - Sky Cipher Special Edition is fantastic! The design is sleek and eye-catching, making it a standout addition to my gaming setup. It feels incredibly comfortable in hand, with responsive buttons and smooth analog sticks. The wireless connectivity is seamless across my Android and Windows devices. Highly recommend for any gamer looking to enhance their experience!

Absolutely love the color. 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.

It's a great controller with an amazing paint job. I love the writing and the coloring. On a mechanical level the grips are the best ive seen on an xbox controller and that includes the elite. Best xbox controller of all time in my opinion.

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.

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.

Nice controller (I Guess). I have not used it. I purchased it to Bluetooth to my IPhone but it did work. My grandsons like to play Roblox and my phone is just too difficult to use. I was told it should be compatible. Well it's not. I ran across another item at a game store that would work so instead of purchasing it at game store I thought I would check with Best Buy to see if they carried the IPhone game attachment but now my return window has expired. Really Disappointed.
