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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Bought the open box “excellent edition” and the charger port broke only after a couple of months. Controller won’t charge at all. Never buying “open box” again.

    Do not purchase. Ive been through two of them in a year. First one went down with a sticky/non working right bumper. I returned under warranty and received a new one. This one in the left stick now drifts and sticks at all times. Dead zones will not fix. Spend your money better and look into buying SCUF.

    I tried two of these and had problems with the d-pads on both within a day of use. It’s disappointing that Microsoft would release an official product with such lackluster quality, especially considering the price.

    I had ordered a replacement from Microsoft after my first one charge port was not working and the second one comes and has a defective right bumper and I try to get another replacement and they say it's out of warranty I don't recommend buying this if you want to have to pay 180 because your controller was defective

    Controller is garbage. Only thing cool is the Xbox button can change color. The lag and configuration is horrible. I pick up any other random Xbox remote and it works perfectly fine.

If it's still within the warranty period, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

    Saw the reviews and figured I’d try it. Website said one model # and I received a different model #. A button works 75% of the time, disconnects from your console at random times. Wish it worked better but you’re better off with a standard controller or trying a scuf. Returned this in just a few days. Bad item
