USB ISSUES
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second controller that I had to replace because the USB port had a short or became shorted out. You should probably by the charging port.

Xbox remote
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons seem loose. Especially when it vibrates. It states it is a Microsoft remote but is not firm buttons like the one that came with the Xbox.

Drifting right out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve bought 2 controllers and had to return them both because they body drifted to the right. I get it, one product out of a whole bunch may be defective, but when it happens two times in a row, than that’s no isolated case. I’ve decided to save my money and keep using my 3 year old controller and it’s slightly sticky triggers because it works s better than a brand new one out of the box...

Typical 100-300 hour controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically you’re paying for a few hundred hours of good gameplay, until the right bumper springs decide to fail.

Basic standard controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As above. Seem to get about 1 year out of these before they break. Would rank it higher if either the price was less, or it lasted longer.

It's a give or take like with any remote
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this about two months ago and the A button is messing up already. Have to press it a bit harder now. I recommend getting the geek squad protection plan because these things tend to happen with any remote for any console tbh. It's better to buy this one though since other remotes have tons more problems happen and have cheaper parts in them. Springs, joysticks etc.
