Great Feel, Terrible Functionality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning the elite series 1 controller for 4 years, I decided to give this controller a shot. Its clear to me that Microsoft has since stopped caring about product quality and placed the emphasis on marketing. I was initially impressed by the build quality of this product (it feels very high quality and well built in the hands), but actually using the controller is another story. Right out of the box, the Y button would consistently not register my button presses. This basically made the controller unusable as I need that button for the games I play. I thought I had got a defective controller, so I returned it for another one. To my surprise, the second controller not only had the same issue, but was also doing it on the A button. This product is straight up unusable, no matter how good it looks or feels. It’s sad that paying more than double the price of a regular controller, only gets you a nice paper weight. I cannot recommend this product to anyone. I returned the second controller and got the Razer Wolverine, which has exceeded my expectations.
