So, these XBox controllers. They apparently have a Bluetooth bug that stops them from working properly with the majority of devices. Only the XBox works with them flawlessly, as it's permissive to their strangenesses.I tried to connect it to my Linux laptop, but I got the same problem that I got with a pair of headphones that have a bluetooth bug in the connect phase. The headphones are supposed to advertise some information, such as audio profiles, but they don't, and the laptop just boots them off, and they try to reconnect... rinse repeat.The same thing was happening with this controller. It was trying to connect, would be recognised by Steam, but nothing would work, and I'd find that the controller had lost connection and been kicked off a few seconds after it had connected.It seems that the controller has a bug, which M$ know about, because if you download the XBox firmware updater app when the controller's connected to a windows PC, the app immediately spots there's an issue and installs a later firmware.As soon as you try to connect the controller after the update, it works perfectly.But if, like me, you don't have a spare windows machine lying around, you'll need to beg/borrow/steal a Windows PC to load up the software to update the firmware. IT doesn't run under Wine / Oracle VMBox properly, sadly.Once the controller is patched and connected, it's great (for a controller). Don't get me wrong, I think using controllers is awful in the majority of games. Give me Kbd + Mouse any day for anything other than a simple racing game. But, for a controller, this one is pretty neat.The electric volt colour was my boy's idea. He really liked the green, so asked for that one. It does look nice, but slightly out of place with all his blue LEDs. Nice brushed finish to the texture, though.A pretty good controller, but they need to start shipping patched units!

Loved the colour when it came and very easy to use

Good! As it says!

Connected perfectly first time with no issues, love the colour too

Great controller for my son to replace his old broken one.Comes with two AA batteries provided.No issues and he is overall happy with it.

I know it's a matter of preference, so your mileage will vary, as its form is not to everyone's taste. However, I changed to Xbox with the first gen and simply to play Halo, having grown up on Playstation and Nintendo.I stayed with them until PS4 slim, although I still had an Xbox, most friends played PS4 so ended up ditching the Xbox entirely & I hated the switch back as the PS controllers are simply awful with poor ergonomics, poor materials choice and atrocious longevity.Getting back into PC gaming caused me to buy a newer form of the Xbox controller in a cool lime colour, and it felt immediately better and familiar. Whilst not compelling enough to cause me to ditch the PS5, it might be enough to make me think about getting back into Xbox.... Honestly, Microsoft has nailed the controller and Sony could learn a thing or two.
