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.

    The controller seems to have a dysfunction on the right joy stick. When I fully rotate I can feel an object keeping it from smoothly rotating 360 degrees.

    I've owned several premium controllers, for both xbox and playstation, and had 3 different elite series 1 controllers. So I was excited to finally upgrade to the series 2. However, I noticed that the right trigger started "creaking" when using the trigger stops after only a few days of use. Not ideal, but that's why I bought the geek squad protection plan - I heard it was great. But, when I tried to arrange service, I needed to make an appointment (understandable, with the pandemic) and it was almost 3 weeks out, and only available at stores farther away. And during days when I wasn't available. Not wanting to wait that long, I decided to take advantage of microsoft's own warranty, boxed it up, sent it back, and just now got the replacement. Only to have the SAME ISSUE happen within an hour. It's now on the way to microsoft again, since Geek Squad is still 3 weeks out for service. Microsoft's warranty is good until October in my case and all I can do is hope that I'll get a working unit by then. I'd return it, but of course now I'm outside the return window. To be clear, it's the product that's the problem, not the service. I understand the decreased operations with the state of the world right now, I just don't like spending $180 ($220 with the 2 year service) for a product that I'm able to use 3 days in a 5 week period.

    Only worth buying with geek squad protection. Stay away if you aren't comfortable replacing this controller every 3-6 months.
