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.

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).

    Controller worked fine until the LB button wouldn’t work. LB and RB buttons not working over time, is a known issue. Usually craps out after the warranty is done.

    Attempted to purchase a “Like New” used controller but the controller was in terrible condition. Unlikely somebody actually inspected it before determining it’s “like new” condition.
