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).

    Unfortunately I got the controller that is part of the well known hardware issue with unresponsive buttons. Specially A button for me. Wonder when Microsoft will issue a recall of all the affected controllers. Without those issues this controller was awesome.

    The back buttons are very well done and RB/LB doesn’t jam when you drop the controller. Also, the back bumpers are very easy to use. Solid 9/10

    The controller is built well and would be amazing if the basic model F000001 didn't have issues. Drift stick, A and Y button not always working, and RB button going out. Also I wouldn't buy it with a warranty from Best Buy cuz they haven't had any replacement controller for over 6 months.
