    Thinking this is the same as the original that ships with the Xbox X, after 2 days of using it, the joy sticks starts darting by itself, other than that the controller lives up to its name

    After only a week the controller has started to drift to the right when playing. This is the first time I've ever encountered this with a xbox controller, And I'm just out of the return or exchange period.

    The controller is great but the value sucks because xbox controllers do not include a rechargable batteries... how dumb is that. I would not pay more than $35 so you can afford to get a rechargable battery.

    Do not find the design as being particularly game user friendly, but am new at X-Box - maybe it will grow on me, or maybe my hands will shrink enough to better comfort this devise. Importantly, it does work.

    If you are buying for a serious gamer that plays all the time, then it is a good idea to buy warranty. I have to buy a controller for them every year or less because it just burns out.

    Microsoft needs to get their act together. These controllers are terrible and the joysticks break to easily. Thank God for the geek squad plan. I do recommend this product but you must get the $12 protection plan.

    Unless you are into the colors and special editions. Every single xbox controller is the same thing quality wise. You are just paying extra for a “personal” preference of color.

    So after 2 weeks, the color on the sticks wears away. Also, the left bumper has this weird click noise from time to time. I dont know if they made the colored ones differently, but it's not that great

    I bought this as a second controller when I purchased my Xbox one S. game a discount when I bought it with the system. Great controller. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because it should come with a rechargeable battery.

    If you are a normal gamer and you need a controller, there here it is. I suggest getting the Elite since this controller needs 2 AA batteries and the Elite can be recharged.

    Very loud and cheap

    I got an xbox and an extra control for Christmas. I have the Xbox in my room and play at night when I cant sleep. My is constantly waking because of the sound of the controller. The main part that clicks a lot are the Joy sticks you move with your thumbs. It makes a lot of clicking noises. If Microsoft would put rubber padding around the edges, the controller would be fine. I tried the $150 and it doesnt make as much noise but that controller is not worth that much. On top of the noise, the controller itself feels very cheap. Also, the vibration is very loud too. Theres no way of controlling that (for some odd reason).

    I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday he loves this controller. The only thing I would say is I believe it broke and we had it not even a year.

    Bought this for myself and I love the look and color of it, but for some odd reason it goes out of sync with my xbox from time to time. It's just a quick button press to fix just a minor annoying flaw, otherwise love it.

    This is a very solid controller when it works. However, after 3 months I started to have connection problems. They still occur if the controller is wired in. I would recommend buying a warranty plan with it.

    I’ve gone thru multiple cycles of this controller and had build quality issues with these. They either have drift issues, the controller isn’t solid put together, and mic jack malfunctioning. I received a different controller model as a gift and the quality was much better and use that as my main controller. The controller build quality matches the controller that comes with the console when you purchase an Xbox one (not great).Not a recommended as a main controller or if you’re heavy handed.

    These things are kind of built out of hot glue and tooth picks. You look at it wrong and joysticks drift. You drop it from 3 ft onto carpet, your trigger breaks.

    Well, it's a nice blue and all, but I like the blue to gunmetal fade controller a bit more and wish I'd gotten that instead. The picture makes it look a bit of a lighter blue and it is bit brighter than you would think.

    My son goes through Xbox controllers really quick. Not sure why I thought this one would be any different. Xbox controllers are not well made and this one is no exception.
