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.

    Have been through about 3 or 4 of them. Each of them having their own issues. From not correctly connecting to the xbox, to a button that would only responded once in a while when pressed. Microsoft definitely could have ironed out all these kinks after the first generation one.

    With this being the 2nd generation, all the bugs and defects should be worked out, right? Right out of the box, sticky A button. After some research online, I was not the only one. C’mon Microsoft. Best Buy retuned my purchase price without question. Thank you.

    The control is amazing when it works but breaks down a little to easy. If you’re not using it daily it might last you longer than a few months before the bumpers fail or you get stuck drift.
