    Piece of crap

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It worked well for about a week then started glitching. Finally gave up and tried to return it. Found out there is a 15 day return policy and this is the 16th day. So I'm out of luck. If you buy this crappy controller pay attention to the return date and keep the box.

    Bluetooth does not work on M$ Ann. Update

    Do not buy this if you have updated to the newest Win 10 build (Anniversary Update). It broke the connection API and you will have to wait until M$ issues a patch-assuming they issue one.

    I got this for my son for Christmas. It worked for less than a month before a button on it quit working. Definitely not happy with this purchase.

    I've now had two of these with the same issue - random disconnects. The controller that came with the system is the only one that continues to work.

    Best buy will only warranty these for two weeks! That tells you how well they will hold up. Not as bad as elite controller though.
