    Terrible QA Shipped Broken and Mislabeled

    For the record I bought two of these things both “Open-Box Excellent” which is a complete and total lie. Both controllers were shipped with issues. The first, the right trigger didn’t work properly and the second controller the left thumbstick didn’t press down and was jammed. This is beyond disappointing. The fact that these items were “checked”, returned, and labeled without even verifying that they FUNCTION properly. Is so incompetent it borders on fraud. I’m returning these and will never buy anything gaming wise from Best Buy again. As much as I hate Amazon, I’d rather buy from them than deal with the constant scamming from Best Buy, because they’re too lazy to do their jobs properly.

    Great controller for the first couple of months, but is known to have flaws with the bumper after casual use. My bumper went out about a year after I purchased the controller. If you want it some so very slight casual play, get it. Other than that I would find a different third party controller.
