    Keeps disconnecting

    I’ve had this controller for one month and it keeps randomly disconnect in the middle of play. It’s one month and one day old and I’m hoping that my local Best Buy will exchange it for me. I’m not sure if it’s just mine or if it’s a common problem, but a problem it definitely is. Using it is almost impossible.

    Lasted 3 weeks, just sent it back to Microsoft, first issue was right bumper sticking, then it started mixing all the controls, joystick caused right trigger to activate ect. It does have extended BT range, was able to use it using xbox mirror to a PC at the back of the house with no issues or lag.

    Handsets do not stand the charge. You end up charging them or connecting the USB cable.

    Right Analog Stick Doesn't Points Down

    I bought this with the warranty and after a literal month, the right analog stick is starting to automatically point down. I don't understand how these are priced so high, but they break so easily. It's a great controller when it works but it sucks for long time use. Very unsatisfied...
