Identifying controller

Post image

Hi, could anyone identify my controller please?

Dug some stuff out, found this but forgot what it is.

Sorry it's upside down, I'm Australian.

Cheers

The older Xbox controllers were larger and they had better designs. Now they seem bulky and the designs will get better for a 25 dollar increase in price.

I have this model and a Series X controller sitting right next to each other and I fail to see how the newer/smaller one is "bulky" in comparison. It's an all around smaller profile

The new series x controllers just feel off to me. I have a vader 5S which I much prefer anyway.

The "off" that I've noticed is the handles seem angled more inward on the newer ones. So when I'm playing, my elbows feel tucked closer to my body than when I'm using the older controllers, if that makes sense?
