    The left stick has developed a mind of its own. It decides weather to scroll up or down, not you. It's also green instead of the advertised color of black. The other one i bought (at the same time) works fine and is the advertised color.

    Ever since we bought this remote, it keeps disconnecting mid game. yet the one that comes with the xbox (white one) keeps on playing never looses connectivity. It can not be our internet because every other game remote works fine.

      Hey there,

      We're sorry to hear that you're new Xbox wireless controller hasn't quite lived up to expectations.

    Probably works for most games, but quickly broke playing NHL 21 — owned for under 2 weeks with no incidents, extended or unusually intense periods of play before it suddenly broke. Left stick can’t hold up to moving a player around.

    I have never had any issues with controllers before. Purchased the red one for my husband since his favorite color is red. He can’t play more than a half hour without having to take the battery out, put it back in, and reconnect. The controller itself keeps freezing up.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry to hear that there's an issue with the headset jack on your Xbox wireless controller. Every Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty, so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

      Hope that helps,

    controller is nice and works well, my only problem is it comes with regular standard batteries. You only get controller and regular batteries. They should gave you rechargeable batteries and charging cord for them. They are soo cheap

      Hey Rick,

      We're glad to hear that you're mostly satisfied with your new Xbox Wireless Controller. Your controller also has a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, which means it's compatible with most headsets that use a 3.5mm connector -- no adapter required! Hope you get a lot of use out of it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck
