    The look of this controller is really cool. But...be warned, the quality of construction of this controller was not good in the one I received. The way this controller was put together during the manufacture process was poor. Parts of it stuck out and made it very uncomfortable to hold.

    Only had the controller for 6 months and the thing is broke already!! I took immaculate care of it and it still broke!! Microsoft needs to put a little time I. And make these controllers durable!! You want to charge a ton of money and slap a new color together, when you should be making a controller that will last longer!!

    I literally this controller about 30 days or so ago and it stopped working properly. The controller will just randomly shut off. Since I'm out of 14 days I'm out of luck I was told. That's not right and poor business. I literally just bought the thing and have been a loyal customer of best buy.

    from day 1 the controller would get hot under the D-Pad. it would also randomly shut off or not turn on, and it would constantly drain any batteries in the controller even when it was off. after a few weeks it completely stopped turning on, so we returned it. new one works great so far. will update when that changes

    I am on my second controller about to have the second one replaced with a third. All within 3 weeks apart the toggles stop responding to the point to where you have to press 2 to 5 times to get it to respond along with drifting controls. If the 3rd b one fails I will not buy another!
