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.

    Feels good in the hands, but quality control is lacking. The right joy stick gets stuck when moved to the right.

    On my 5th controller now. Microsoft keeps replacing them under manufacturer warranty. Takes 2 weeks every time. 1st was sent back for stick drift. 2nd was sent back for stick drift. 3rd was sent back for faulty RB. 4th was sent back for faulty LB. 5th is working well so far (3 months of use). Only buy with extended warranty.

    I don't know of a better controller, but these break too often. Awfully expensive to replace, wish I'd bought the protection.

    These controllers fire buttons multiple times incorrectly and this looks like its been an issue for over a year and MS is still selling these with the issue.
