Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Microsoft made some nice improvements on the Series two. USB-C port on the controller. The case acts a charger.

    This controller is great when it works but I've had 2 so far. 1st the bumper stopped working after a year. Second one the grip is pealing off. For the price these things should not be happening. Most expensive and most trash controller I have ever used. I have the base xbox controller and it still works 5 years later, outlasted both of these. Never again.

    I bought this Xbox controller for my son for Christmas and after only 3 months of use, one of the buttons on the right side is stuck making it useless. Best Buy’s return policy had expired. Microsoft is supposedly extending its warranty on these due to many other issues with this controller.
