    Xbox will always have problems with the durability of their controllers, I’m surprised this one did last me a bit more.

    I only got it because I used my protection plan to get a new controller and it cover the upgrade. Overall ok. Not worth the extra money really

    They need to fix this. After only a few months, the on screen cursor ends up going top right or top left of the screen without touching controller.

    WAS NOT USED-LIKE NEW

    When I got the package it was ripped and the box was torn up. It was advertised as USED-Like new. Well I rate it USED- good. I paid a price that was USED-Like new for a product that was USED-Good. I was ready to take it back because it initially it did not pair with my XBOX console. So I waited a few days and tried again and after the third try it finally paired. I will never trust the rating system again!

    Good, but you can get a next gen controller for the same price, (you can tell by the capture button and dpad)

    Make sure you purchase the Geek Squad protection with the Xbox One controllers. I had to find out the hard way that the manufacturer warranty only lasts for 90 days.

    Xbox1 only comes with 1 controller. How are you suppose to play multiplayer games with just one controller? Pretty good deal when bought in the bundle with the box.

    The issue with Xbox controllers is the left thumb stick rubber wears off easily and right stick can easily break if you press down to hard.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry to hear that you may have run into issues with your new Phantom Black Xbox wireless controller. Every Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty, so if it's still within the warranty period, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

    Works just like you would think. Only problem was it wouldn't connect at first. I had to hardwire it to the xbox to do an update.

    It Still Uses Batteries

    I can't believe these still use batteries. The ergonomics can't be beat, but just make it rechargeable out of the box already.

    Works fine. These are expensive and it stinks the expensive game package only includes one so these have to be bought separately for more than one person to play

    Good Controller but only lasts about 11 months

    I buy these controllers to replace the existing one approximately every 11 months. It seems the jack on them always ends up with issues.

    Family fun night needs more than one controller. Since they make you buy a second one now rather then place two in the box like they use to I guess it is required.

    We’ve gone through many, some off brands and these. I have to say this is one of the best we’ve used. Been dropped many times and still working

    Bought her another controller for my son. Seems like I have to buy one every year. They work great until breaking. Price is a bit steep.

    I like this controller, just hate you have to spend a additional 24.99 to get the rechargable batteries. Subtracted 2 stars for microsofts money grab!

    The controller that the console came with was not a quality product, had to buy a replacement. This even feels like a different design entirely.
