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).

    Feels amazing and works great in the beginning, however after about two months the top rear paddles become temperamental and the left ThumbStick starts drifting. Other than the annoyance the rest of the controller works great.

    The mechanical issues that thos controller suffers from are easily avoidable, if only the manufacturer would use better parts. I've had to replace it twice in a year and a half

    Great controller but does not stand the test of time. Buttons stopped working after a couple of months of use. My first Series 1 completely failed. Great concept but shoddy quality build.
