Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Personally, I've experienced the A button sticking and inconsistent bluetooth connectivity with PC. I have also read issues with the right stick drifting when neutral. For a premium controller that costs almost as much as a console, this is inexcusable. Returning and trying my luck with a normal Xbox controller.

    The added functionality of the paddles is a real plus, but as other people online have mentioned the right bumper starts to stick after some time needing a warranty fix. Overall the product feels solid and familiar to use. There is however the known issue with the right bumper after some use.

    So the left stick has horrible stick drift right out of the box and less then a month later the right bumper has totally stopped working and what's even worse is I ordered the geek squad extended warranty and was pretty much told by them to just return the product and wait for my money and reorder poor service poor merchandise

    My first one only lasted about 13/14 months. It carries a 2yr warranty but that warranty does not transfer over to the new one. They did replace it with a new controller but without a warranty They said I would have to buy a warrenty and now within the first couple weeks I'm having trouble getting it to charge . This isn't the first time i've had trouble with items from "Best Buy" and I can say that I will stay away from them in the future.

    The controller is great especially for first person shooter but for the price it should hold up better than it does the tiggers started to stick less than 6 momths after purchase and the RB and LB stop working if you do buy it make sure you get the protection plan from best buy because your going to need it
