Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    It’s good and this one doesn’t drift as much as last one but it’s a $100 for me to be recommended for anyone.

    The controller feels amazing in your hands and functions well. The extra buttons come in handy for multiple games and shortening the trigger is great too for shooters. The big problem is the life span of the controller I’ve had several of them and they all break. The bumpers are usually the first to go.
