4 1/2-5 stars. Very nice and good looking, probably a tad smaller than the original but feels fine in the hand. First thought it may be tacky- but it wasn’t, Xbox button looks tacky at first. Looks good all round and feels nice. Great addition for my Xbox and good buy. Yes expensive, so I looked at used ones for around £35 which is in very good condition and works perfectly, just one minor scratch- of which makes no difference to game play.
Would recommend a buy and looks better than other colours.

A great revision.
The Xbox One S controller is another major step forward for Microsoft in terms of the quality of the parts and manufacturing processes it’s using for its products. The 2015 controller revision, which introduced the 3.5mm headphone jack, featured better buttons and more resistant control sticks. The S amps up all of this with buttons that have a premium action. This stands out with the sticks, which have a more even resistance and smoother rotation around the border of their wells.If you’ve used an Xbox One controller for any extended period of time, you’ve likely noticed a chalky dust that builds up around the ball-bearing area of the stick. Microsoft claims to have solved this, and the analog sticks feel great because of these improvements.Beyond the buttons and sticks, the controller uses strong and light materials. The hand grips, where you hold the pad with your inner knuckles and palms, now has a textured coating. This prevents the device from slipping whether you use a light squeeze or a death lock to hold your controller.One of the other improvements in the One S controller is a stronger radio signal that increases the range of the connection you can have between the Xbox One, a PC, or another device and the gamepad.Based on my testing (going in my backyard and walking away from the house until the controllers stopped working consistently), the range is about 75 percent more than the 2015 Xbox One controller. This is true for both the standard Xbox One wireless connection, which uses a dongle on PC, as well as the new Bluetooth radio.This is one of my favorite new features. If your PC has Bluetooth compatibility, you no longer need the Xbox One Wireless Adapter to use the gamepad without a USB connection.Bluetooth also means you can connect it to smartphones and tablets. I used it with my Nvidia Shield tablet, and the controller worked without flaw for both gamepad-capable mobile apps and PC games I streamed to my device.Overall, this controller does exactly what you need it to.

Unfortunately not a great experience. The controller is described as fully tested and very good condition however the first one that sent had a faulty Y button. This was returned once the seller provided the returns label. I asked that the replacement get checked and that it will definitely be fully working which the seller stated it would be.
The replacement was sent and again the Y button was not responding correctly (only registered sometimes and needed to be pressed hard).
Shame as they are a good price but to have 2 faulty remotes sent is a poor service and they obviously are not fully checked....
Update 14-11-21 - I don't even have the words to express how disappointed i am. The 3rd controller that they have sent and stated was being tested prior to dispatch wont even power on so there is no way it was tested.
3 controllers sent out guaranteed tested and working yet none were all faulty and false promises. Nothing but hassle for me having to go out to the post off to return each time and wait / email for updated etc. Very poor!!
