Mic connection are garbage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For some reason the mic outlets broke on two controllers two days after i bought them. You have to angle the mic perfect when plumbing it in or it will damage the inside contact and the mic will not work!

3rd controller in about 2 years.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Twice the head phone jack stopped working and once the joystick drifted on it’s own. If you buy this remote do not the think twice about getting the protection plan, get it.

Bad Batch?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well with included AA batteries for a few days. Once those batteries were dead, it would not power on with any battery, standard or rechargeable. Luckily Best Buy let me swap it after the 14 day window.

Not manufactured well.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller did not sync well and I ultimately had to replace. Bestbuy was helpful but I didn't feel I should have had to pay the protection plan fee due to product being defective.
