    Loved the controller initially but with in a few days of moderate use playing CoD; the right thumb stick would drift to the left during game play and the B button would randomly not respond to inputs

    This thing it’s not worth it unless you are rich and have enough money to buy one each two or three months that’s how long it usually lasts until it stops functioning properly,it’s the best controller when it works well but it just breaks too fast I hope the build quality gets better

    Came on time which was great, controller overall is good I was just unlucky and got a defective one. Highly recommend that you get the warranty if you can’t get that, make sure to register the controller on Microsoft’s website so that if you have issues you can send it in for repairs.

    I’ll just stick with the regular Xbox controller. This over complicated engineering disaster has been wanting to throw it across the room like a Nintendo controller.

    The controller is nice. There seems to be a drifting problem with the joysticks and for the price of this controller that is a bit of a disappointment.
