I got a new game controller! (Plus bonus cat)

Boyfriend managed to convert me to controllers rather than using the keyboard to play my games- I have to admit, it's a lot easier. Unfortunately, I didn't actually have one of my own. Until now!

I did my research, saved up, and got the Dawn Shadow Xbox One S controller. It's utterly gorgeous- I've been on a bit of a pastel/punk kick recently, so that lovely magenta gradient is right up my alley.

And here it is in person, with my beautiful tiny kitty Casper!

Wow, it's very beautiful Seems fitting for a "gamer girl" if you want to be called that lol. Your cat is adorable as well :3

The standard xbox one pad might just be the best standard controller ever made.

It's durable. It doesn't feel like it was made from cheap plastic. It fits my hands perfectly. The button/analog placement is extremely intuitive. Unlike the xbox 360 controller, the dpad is very functional.

No motion control/touch gimmicks. I hate the gyro/touchpad on my ps4 controller. I hate gyro on the wii remote/gamepad.

My favorite used to be the snes controller.

Agreed, I really like the X1 controller. I usually play with keyboard and mouse just because the PC games I play are designed for and only work with them (anything that involves lots of menus and stuff like simulation games) but there's nothing wrong with playing on a controller for games where it actually is better. I don't really see how PC gamers can argue that keyboard and mouse are the best controllers for all games, there's clearly been examples where that's not the case.
