    For this particular controller I bought, it was working well until one day it began to short out and would not stay connected to my Xbox, and it was definitely not because of batteries as I switched those out numerous times. I usually have no problems with controllers from Best Buy, and I couldn’t return it as it was a week past the return date.

    This product works as advertised. I would give it a higher rating if it had a built in battery that could be recharged included.

    Seems like they break very easily. This is the third one I've bought in a year and a half. Not on par with the quality of ps4 remotes

    It seems like Microsoft has manufactured these controllers to fail so that we parents have to keep replacing them.

    I would give it 5 stars if they were a little more durable. They last me about a year playing PUBG, RDR II, GTA V.

    The only thing good about this is that it supports Bluetooth. Other than that, the other XBox One controller's (Arctic White) are better.

    Not like my other controller disconnects if not playing or hooked to power supply. Try to turn on and will not connect.
