Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Best Xbox controller on the market!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Custom button mapping is awesome. Game changer! Interchangeable thumbsticks and d-pad a nice touch. Heavy duty, definitely not a light controller. Being able to charge the controller inside the case is a nice touch as well. Totally worth the money.

Greatest controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller at a good price. Feels very premium.
I would recommend this to a friend Good controller but joysticks may click
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller feels great and can be customized in many different ways with the kit it comes with. However, I returned this item 4 times because the joysticks did not feel smooth, especially the left one, and clicked every time i would move it in a different direction. The one i'm left with still seemed to have that issue every once in a while though it seems to have reduced over time.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good I use it for PC gaming have to send back my black elite controller for the R1 button malfunction so much for 180 dollars hopefully microsoft will repair it
I would recommend this to a friend great controller for pc gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good; I like that I can adjust the trigger pressure so that I barely have to tap it for it to press. Sometimes it lags, this may be due to the bluetooth connection. I use it with my PC, so that might be why ? otherwise, great controller

Microsoft just fix these simple things for PC.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hardware wise excellent controller; USB-C, great battery life; very heavy, premium feel; back buttons; adjustable triggers and sticks. Several months in and I've had no issues with buttons sticking or stick drift. However, the software side of things has been, less than stellar. First of all if you have to connect this controller to your PC via USB for any reason it simply will not connect back to bluetooth once you remove the USB connection. You have to remove the controller from your devices and re-pair it. No other controller I've used on my PC (SN30pro+ and DS4) have this issue, and Microsoft still won't address it. Second, connectivity is a big issue. Not only was I getting random drop outs at different times (seemingly always in the middle of a very important part of my game lol) but it was tanking my framerates on games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Jedi Fallen Order. As soon as I switched back to my DS4 the issues disappeared. It's a shame, this controller feels so good in the hands, but software-wise is were the experience goes down the toilet. I'm now using my SN30pro+ full-time and it's hands down the best controller for PC. Hopefully Microsoft addresses some of these issues with the V3, but I've given up waiting. Also $200 and no motion controls? C'mon man. Buy at your own risk knowing that if you avoid the hardware issues seemingly everyone seems to get, the software ain't much better.
