    What can I say. If your kids play games, they will wear these out over time.

It offers up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-one-play-charge-kit-black/9008298.p?skuId=9008298

    I have 2 sons who both use separate Xbox 1’s and these controllers seem to have too many moving parts that fail...I purchased the protection on this one because of how poorly made they are. We have a total of 4 non working controls taken care of properly that have stopped working for various reasons.
