    I had this controller for 6 months before it burned up. Never threw it or anything. I would definitely get the protection if you get it. I think it's $5 and covers everything.

    18 days past warranty and a button doesn't work. im tired of replacing controllers because Microsoft can't make one that doesn't float or just cease to work.

    I purchased this controller brand new and the “A” button and “X” button do not work. I am very disappointed because this controller was $65. Not happy at all.

    The left bumper eventually breaks on the xbox one controllers. If you buy a controller it might be a good idea to pay extra for the protection plan.

    I know I got a defective one, so ignore this for the most part. The right bumper doesn't work so I'll be exchanging this when I get a minute.

    Once again, these are disposable peripherals. The thumb sticks go bad in 3 months, buttons start to stick, and they go up in price right when you need one.

    Audio jack has failed already. Back to using older controller with drift. These controllers should be better quality for the price.
