Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    r1 Button is not responsive. This controller had less overall lifetime value than other controllers I own. This is very disappointing for the price point

    I returned 2 of these that I bought IN STORE BRAND NEW and BOTH CAME DEFECTIVE straight out of the box. I didn't even got to really use them. The first one had an issue with the profile light 1 would not come up at all. Second one the p3 back pallet button would not work unless pressed really hard. On the second one I noticed the paddle issue right away because all the other ones make a clicking sound but the P3 would not. P4 was a bit strange too but it was working but I could tell that it was going to fail pretty fast. I recorded the unboxing and straight out of the box even 1 of the thumbstick was dirty. Keep in mind that both where SEALED and PAID FULL PRICE. I feel like Microsoft is re-packaging refurbished controllers as BRAND NEW when they are really not.

    The controller is great but… after 2 years of hands on use and i am having erratic controller movement and drifting of the controls. Microsoft is not helpful and very disappointed when spending $180 on game controller that just lasted only a couple year of light use. i cant recommend it.

    Feels good in the hands, but quality control is lacking. The right joy stick gets stuck when moved to the right.

    On my 5th controller now. Microsoft keeps replacing them under manufacturer warranty. Takes 2 weeks every time. 1st was sent back for stick drift. 2nd was sent back for stick drift. 3rd was sent back for faulty RB. 4th was sent back for faulty LB. 5th is working well so far (3 months of use). Only buy with extended warranty.
