    I got stick drift on my right stick after 4 days i went back to use my warranty theg said its a one time use and if the next controller messes up i have to buy another warranty i told the manger well what if it breaks out the box he left me with a i dont know . I know he doesnt make the rules but bestbuy as s conpany shouldn’t let that happen where a warranty is a one time use and microsoft needs to rlly upgrade there tech because stick drift put the box charging 179 or copy PlayStation with the sticks when it works its the best controller when it doesnt its like a raging headache
