    The product would not stay connected to the Xbox one system. Best buy did a great job of returning and ordering a new one though. Service was great, product no so much.

    Worked well with included AA batteries for a few days. Once those batteries were dead, it would not power on with any battery, standard or rechargeable. Luckily Best Buy let me swap it after the 14 day window.

    Said it was geek squad verified, was an open box, but when I got it it wouldn't stay connected to the xbox. I did return it and get a new remote but they didn't have the same one.

    Unfortunately my controller doesn’t connect to my Xbox anymore after only three months of use. I would return/replace it but I no longer am within the window to return.

    Twice the head phone jack stopped working and once the joystick drifted on it’s own. If you buy this remote do not the think twice about getting the protection plan, get it.

    On the back side of the controller the plastic is not flush like every other controller I've had, highly disappointed especially since I paid more than a regular controller costs

    Terrible customer service, it was given as a gift and when it was returned to the store for exchange they refused to take it, so i took it to your competitor and they exchanged it. I will never buy from you again.

    This controller did not sync well and I ultimately had to replace. Bestbuy was helpful but I didn't feel I should have had to pay the protection plan fee due to product being defective.

    I love the way the controller looks however two of the buttons (A / Y) are very sticky and don’t have good connection apparently with the sensors inside.
