When it comes to gaming controllers, comfort is king, and the Xbox Series X controller is up there as one of the best. The flared handgrips conform well to the human hand, providing a comfortable ergonomic design. Something you’ll instantly notice when you grab the controller for the first time is the textured finished on the rear grips, analog sticks, triggers, and bumpers. That texture ensures a more secure hold, helping prevent your hands from slipping off due to sweat during intense matches — or after one too many slices of pizza.

Instead of a rechargeable battery, the controller uses two AA batteries when playing wirelessly. Whether that’s a benefit or a drawback depends on personal preference. I would’ve preferred a rechargeable battery, but fortunately, it can also be powered through a USB-C cable. Another great aspect of the Xbox Series X controller is the wide range of colors. Beyond the standard Carbon Black, there are Robot White, Shock Blue, and special editions like Gold Shadow.
