Not so great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this controller to replace my original because the control sticks had terrible drift, was very disappointed that this new controller also has a slight drift also.

Breaks within 4 months
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What’s up with these controllers I’m hearing that most ppl replace them 2-3x a year. That’s insane. I just purchased this in oct in 6 months it was broken.

Great graphics but not thrilled with he load times
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is great but I had to return it because you have to have an online account to do anything now a days. I miss the good only cartridge/CD systems. Maybe I’ll bet a Nintendo system

3rd controller in 18 months
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The updated controller has the same issues with buttons sticking, stick drift and connection issues just after the 6 month mark. I would bet Microsoft make more on people replacing controllers than on the actual console. I’ve never had so many issues on Playstation or Xbox 360 as I have with the Xbox one controllers. I play about 3-4 hours per week.

Clearly had Been Used
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought an open-box (excellent condition) controller, which is supposed to be just like new and come with all of the original accessories. It came in a brown cardboard box wrapped with bubble wrap. No batteries, no manual, no original box. After using the controller for 5 minutes it was obvious that it had been thoroughly ‘enjoyed’. The thumb sticks were already quite loose and the A button felt as though it had been pressed quite a bit. Returned it and bought a new one. For just a couple bucks off, no thanks

Haywire
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this during COVID and it’s haywire. I was disappointed because these controllers are not cheap and it’s not the best time to be going back and forth to the store.

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as it should when first purchased. For some reason the controllers have not been lasting as long as they did before. Should last a while with average use

Button double taps
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros: Looks cool, grip feels good in hands Cons: The "A" button on the controller double-taps. For example, when I use my controller to type a message "Itt wiill ccomee outt likkee thhiss offtenn". It doesn't really effect any games that I play. It's just annoying when typing (messages, netflix, youtube, etc...). The left joystick drifts often too. I noticed both of these issues within two weeks of buying the controller. I bought this controller to replace a different Xbox sport controller that had the same issues :/

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works okay. Buttons have gotten all mushy and will not register a click if pressed too soft. That's to be expected from all controllers though. They all are bad.

Easy use with PC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to connect and use with a PC through Bluetooth, but the quality of the controller is not as great as Playstaion control. The joystick makes it difficult to run, had to click to auto run.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works fine and the design is sleek but it does not come chargable and thats extremely disappointing. Looks like play station is more reasonable.

Xbox 1 wireless remote - blue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I could give this one a good review but 2 of the last 3 xbox 1 controllers I have bought will not hold a charge when using the play and charge kit with it. Am researching why that is. May be my mistake.

Fair controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.controller started off good but has since had problems with the joystick sticking. I think this is controller #9 for me. Xbox needs to improve with the next console.

Joy Stick issued
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my old control because the joy stick started floating. This one started doing it after 5th use. Probably says more about manufacturer than Best Buy though.

Does the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a controller. They’re good but do tend to wear down quickly if you use them a lot. Price is a little easier to swallow when on sale
