    For some reason the buttons are also blue and not color coded like other controllers except for small dots. An it hard to see the letters and colors on the controller.

    Ended up having to purchase three of them, none of which ended up pairing with my xbox. What a waste of time and definitely not worth the price paid. Glad I was able to return it- also had a bad experience returning one of them. The young lady at the customer service desk bypassed me and helped a gentleman who was behind me in line with his return and ignored me completely. Way to go BestBuy, knocked it out of the park.

    Would not stay connected to Xbox. Returned for another one (white) and have had no issues. Guess I just got a bad one as I had never had this issue before

    After a few months LB button is broken. With normal use, no drops of any kind. Other than that it felt comfortable.

    The quality of this was horrendous! The grippy texture was good but it was very cheap feeling. I broke in one week with very light usage!

      Hey there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with one of the thumbsticks on your Xbox wireless controller. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Total waste. Can’t even return

    Don’t waste your time on this one. Had issues right outa the box and within the week of purchase wouldn’t work properly at all. Just kept “glitching” on and off. Made for lots of angry Madden nights. Worst part, I can’t even return it because the return policy is only 14 days. I would have returned it immediately if I had known. Thought it’d be at least a 30 day return policy like all other places.

    Extremely poor quality controller

    Gotta love Microsoft. They charge you $60 for a "wireless" controller that doesn't come with a battery or charger. For those, you fork out another $25... *each*. Oh, and the controller? It'll break... quickly. I had another one just like this for maybe 2 months before the left stick went toes-up. Look on the bright side though, you can pay a 3rd of the cost of the controller to get an extended warranty. That's lovely.

    am not a fan of the controller because you cannot charge like play station, you have to buy rechargeable batteries or keep buying regular batteries.

    Not as Durable as they should be for the price

    Within a week of using the controller, one of the thumbsticks began to have directional issues. The issue created walking and aiming issues. This is the 2nd controller purchased that has had this type of issue within a week. After exchanging the controller, I was able to get one that lasted slightly longer (approximately 6 weeks) before having the exact same problem. If you spend anytime playing, invest in a more durable controller.

    NO QUALITY CONTROL?

    Used less than a month and the right trigger and A button tend to stick. The colors are much lighter than shown so be advised in advance. It does eat batteries much faster than my other Xbox controllers and not sure why. Will be returning this controller this week. Microsoft needs to take a look at their Quality Control standards on this product.

    A Button has a dead spot.

    The overall build quality is good but the A button response requires effort to register input. It has a dead spot at either 10 O' clock or 5 O' clock. I have purchased 5 of these controllers and they all had the same problem. Other than that, it is a good controller, but you have to press straight down on the A button with additional force for it to respond.

    I’m fairly disappointed in this controller. I’ve had a lot of input lag, and it feels lighter than my other Xbox one controllers.

    These controllers feel so solid out the box but they just don’t hold up as long as PlayStation controllers.
