Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Got this for my son for his birthday. He's a big Fortnite gamer and wanted something that would improve his play. He also loved the color as well.

    First one I picked up was missing all of the accessories and was filthy. Returned it and grabbed a different one. Second one was in near perfect condition. Be careful with the open box products.

    I love how the controller feels but that's about it. Right out of the box the ABXY buttons will randomly double-input.
