    The mic jack is an issue with this controller. It took 3 trips to best buy to get one that worked.

    I've had the control for 60 days and it is already malfunctioning. My right analog stick drifts and it randomly registers buttons that I have not pressed. Not under warranty and now I'm out $60 for an official Microsoft product. Save your money and buy third party you might have the same luck for cheaper.

    This controller was great, no issues at first but similar to another controller I had with my advanced warfare Xbox one AND a brand new one I got with my Xbox one x the d pad went out. The right d pad specifically stops functioning properly and this makes it extremely difficult to use the controller. I wish Xbox would fix this issue.

    The controller worked fine for less than a month, the controller will not let me speak through my headset. I know it is not my headset because I tried speaking with a different controller and it worked. I am really disappointed. Best Buy/Microsoft if you are reading this, I would like a replacement or a refund.

    This remote was only good for about two weeks and then it the RB & LB stopped registering clicks properly. I literally have to press the buttons three times or more before it registers a click. It also dies randomly. I was not able to return it on time so now I am stuck with a month old remote that does not work.

    Never fails every remote we buy from here has something wrong with it or breaks after a short period of time . These are expensive little items that's should have a longer life span . Need to make sure its it's not happening on best buys end by not being careful with products when delivering and stocking..
