Love this controller! But...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is a great controller. However, I’m so upset because for one it’s out of stock everywhere. Took forever to track this down. Plus, I open the box and my controller is missing two thumb sticks. Like what??? It’s brand new! How can this be? Will possibly return! I’m contacting Microsoft!

Junk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage. Returned. Right out of the box the right joystick did not work. I loved the feel and the weight but when spending almost 200 dollars on a controller, it should be as trusty as the original Xbox one controller my toddler has thrown all over my house for the last four years.

Take caution when buying
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers are great when they work. On the other hand, they wear out and break pretty easily which is the downside. The Geek Squad protection is a must have when purchasing this product, unfortunately.

Don’t buy if you’re wanting everything included
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to exchange because for whatever reason the back paddles weren’t included so that’s an L. I get like all the extra thumb sticks and stuff but no paddles?!? Really Microsoft

I wouldn’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Left stick drift and RB not registering within a week. I only bought the controller because it was on sale. If you’re gaming on Xbox just buy a battlebeaver instead. It’s worth the wait. If you’re on PC the ps5 controller is the best.

I would skip this one
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pay way extra money for an xbox controller only for it to get stick drift even quicker than the regular. I will just stick to the original controller and throw on a replacement plan and game happy as can be

DO NOT BUY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 1 month of use this controller no longer functions properly. The thumbsticks stick and make ALL games unusable and neither Xbox or Best Buy will take it back. I could have purchased two controllers for the price of this and will do so next time. If you are going to buy this MAKE SURE that you get the coverage so it can be replaced, I guess the joke is on me for assuming a $150 controller would work longer than 1 month.

You’re gonna want the warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had my controller for a little under two years and with the first year the right bumper stopped responding soon after the left. Good thing I can reconfigure the layout and use the paddles. NOPE! Those broke too! I take good care of my equipment and to have that many faults in that sort of a time is unacceptable! Don’t buy this without the warranty! You’re gonna need it.

Unfortunately not long-lasting for competitive.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m on my fifth or sixth model by now. It doesn’t hold up to playing competitively. The dead zones will rise, and bumpers will begin to fail resulting in double or non-existent presses.
