    We seem to have to replace these controllers too frequently. I wish they were more durable and robust.

    This was an "open box" purchase. The controller looked good but didn't function properly. It kept on disconnecting.

    As far as basic controllers go this was one of my favorites. The textured grip is a nice addition. However, within 5-6 months I started having issues with joy stick not wanting to crouch in games. Ive still have my day one controller that hasnt had any issues in 7-8 years now. @ $65 you would expect it to hold up for more than 6 months.

    This controller is better than the basic controller the console comes with. Batteries wear out crazy fast.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox wireless controller for the most part. If you're going through batteries too quickly, we recommend investing in a rechargeable battery pack such as the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. It offers up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge and can be fully recharged in just under 4 hours. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-one-play-charge-kit-black/9008298.p?skuId=9008298
