Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Purchased this with a GeekSquad warranty as it was an open box. Of course the controller stops working right after it expires. Store closes around 8 and it looks like we share the same work schedules. I’ll just live with it.

    I’ve had this for almost a year now. DO NOT BUY THIS! The left and right bumper just stopped responding. Now I have to press the buttons 4 times before they do anything. This is not good for any game unless the game you play includes waiting 5 seconds to do an action.

    Bought two of these controllers at the same time and both controllers are experiencing the same issues where the left joy stick gets stuck in the forward direction and the controllers disconnect randomly while playing.

    This is a mixed review. The controller is great in every way but buying this as an open box was a mistake. Even though it was advertised excellent condition it came without the box, triggers showed ware and some of the paddle buttons didn’t work.

    This controller was great until 4 months into owning it and my left stick lags. It won't register max input. It only registers about 60% input. Then when you let the stick go, it sticks (virtually not physically). For $180 controller, it should last longer than 4 months. Microsoft won't replace as it is outside its 3 month warranty. Garbage.
