Customers are positive about the product's excellent overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, noting its comfortable feel and good weight. However, customers are negative about recurring issues such as stick drift and the durability of the buttons, which some report breaking quickly. The price is also a point of concern for some buyers.

    The controller itself is great. Feels great and has great features. Get the warranty. Something will break on it. I have had 2 series 2 controllers. First one made it just a little over a year. The second only made it 6 months until I needed to replace it. Now, Best Buy is sold out online and in store. Who knows when I will actually get a replacement.

    Worked good for 4 months. Then after the 90 day warranty, the RB button failed completely. The left thumb stick started to drift as well. For this hefty price one would think that this is a premium product. Sadly it fails on that front

    I bought this on July 8th and I am buying another controller today as the RB button has broken and I can't play Rocket League anymore. I'm disappointed in how these controllers always seem to give out with either of the buttons listed, a shame really.

    Returned it. The A button was iffy on registering unless you really hammered on it. Plus the sticks would bottom out and start grinding on whatever lays beneath them.

    Defective unit

    Read about the defective units online and decided to wait a while before purchasing one. The quality control issues must not have been entirely fixed yet, since my controller had unresponsive face buttons out of the box. Took it back and got a refund. If they fix the issues it would be a good controller.

    Buyer beware...The Best Buy description model states FST-00008 but I received the FST-00001. My understanding is this model has lots of defects. If you have it delivered check the model#

    Bought a open box and left thumbstick wouldn't click, swaped out for a new one, then the new one keeps disconnecting for no reason. Returned and got my money back, its not a premium controller if it doesn't function like its suppose to. Alot of other people report the same problem.
