Underestimated evolution
Since this controller looks very similar to its predecessor, I underestimated the improvements. The controller is massively grippier than its predecessor, which is due to the slightly adjusted and reduced shape, and of course the roughened grip surface on the back.
The whole controller now feels a bit more natural in the hand. Especially the operation of the front shoulder buttons has become massively better for me (probably also because they have, like all buttons, a much clearer pressure point for me).
Otherwise, the proven strengths have been adopted. Overall, a very successful evolution of an already excellent controller and clearly champion of its price class.
Only that is still set on batteries or the price of batteries still comes on top is still somewhat annoying.
Addendum: The battery cover is a bit soft... Thus, the opening, if because batteries are inserted, really a bit troublesome.Pro

Big fucking deal.
I've never had such a piece of shit in the hand really. After each PC start, the controller does not find a PC. Every time I have to reinstall it, sorry but not in 2020. If he suddenly finds the PC, the key assignment is correct with cable, but via WIFI everything is gone, because he suddenly finds only every 2nd window.
The MSI I can remove, with cable vebinden no matter what, within 2 sec. is the ready for use.
Too bad for the money the person has spent to give me the part.Pro
- Lies very well in my hand
Contra
- Pc does not find the part or vice versa
- Every time I start my PC, I have to reconfigure the fucking thing.
- Keys sound cheap and also feel like that
Well
The setup is times the hell, and then the thing works for the moment times only exclusively on Windows and Xbox. I feel like a guinea pig.
Hahahaha, thanks for nothing Microsoft, except that you now have my money.Pro
- feels great in the hand, new texture
- usb-c
Contra
- Until this thing even runs, firmware update, windows update, won't recognize again etc.
- Mac and Ios don't work at all
- no integrated battery (really now?)

Embarrassing
I am disappointed. Yes, Digitec can't help it much as they shop the product and pass it on. But that can not be it.
The Xbox controller was very dirty. Despite the adhesive strip on the outside of the packaging. Likewise, the Xbox logo on the controller was already scratched. So a poor, even embarrassing workmanship. The batteries were on top of everything already dead when I put them in. Here again, I understand that if the product is stored for a long time that the batteries discharge. This is certainly not the fault of Digitec or Microsoft. But somehow it can not be that it remains on the buyer.
So in the future I will avoid ordering products from third parties at Digitec, which I can also get directly from the seller (e.g. Microsoft). The effort and the eventual disappointment is simply not worth it to me anymore. Unfortunately not the first time.
I hope I could convince you not to reward Digitec and that you will be happy with someone else.Pro
