    Worse controller ever

    If you buy this controller you must buy the replacement plan. The controller is terrible and cheap materials ever. LB and RB buttons fall off, buttons stick, sometimes no response when playing a game. The PS4 controller is the best on the market.

    The controller looks nice, but when you are holding it, you will get bothered by that grid on the handle. Making sure you check the controller because mine got several scratcheses on the plastic part even before use

    Terrible Controller

    I take great care of my controllers, but this is a very cheap controller. I’m going to look for another brand to purchase. Unfortunately, this is the second one that I have had to purchase in three months. I never had this problem with the Xbox 360.

    Noisy controller

    As the standard Xbox controller, I was disappointed at how noisy the buttons and joysticks are. It is a shame that this is the standard, licensed product, but I guess that is why you can buy Elite versions for over $100.

      Hi there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the casing of your new Xbox wireless controller. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. Otherwise, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft. Check your options with Xbox Support here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Just like all the other 4 controllers I have. They work great in the beginning and slowly your character will creep forward unless you mess with the joystick. Make sure to get the extended warranty

    Instant stick drift

    First off I was forced to get this when I returned another controller on its warranty. They told me its the only ones they had, so I had to pay $10 more for some dumb grips that are not worth the extra 10. Second I get home, put the batteries is, synced it to my Xbox, updated it, and turned on a game. Left stick already had stick drift at purchase. Started up my game and it immediatly was moving on screen while it was sitting down. I'll be returning it at some point and I wont be purchasing another of these. The regular white ones last 3 to 7 months with normal use, but minutes after opening is unexeptable.

    This works but for some strange reason it will stop in the middle of a game and I got to take out the batteries and put them back in for it to work again. Thankfully this is not my main controller but a second controller so I just use the other one most of the time
