Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    I finally managed to talk myself into getting one of these and I have zero regrets. The construction, weight, and responsiveness of this controller is awesome. I love how I can configure it and the weight and feel of it in my hands when I am playing.

    The controller itself is awesome, but it breaks super easily. I've bought 2 of these controllers this calendar year and both give out after like 2-3 months of regular use. RB/LB stop responding or respond multiple times for each press. The A/B/X/Y buttons stop responding. This controller is great for the first 2-3 months of use, but both of the controllers I have bought have broken down after a short period of time. If you are going to buy this controller, make sure you get the warranty so that you can return it when it does break down.

    This controller feels great in the hand, has excellent features (hair triggers and custom profiles) and excellent accessories but has one massive dealbreaker. It won’t register 1 out of every 5-10 button presses. Initially I thought it was my fault. “Maybe I’m still acclimating to the new controller and not pressing the button properly”. I know that’s a stupid thought but when you buy a $100+ controller, surely that can’t be the source of the problem. Well, it is. Google it. You’ll see it’s widespread and there’s no fix. Microsoft support will tell you to update the controller firmware. That’s nice but never once had that made the problem less noticeable. If you bought directly from the Microsoft store you’ll be able to send it back to them for a warranty replacement. That’s good I guess.. but should there really be so many forum posts about replacing $100 peripheral? Ok, so how bad is a few missed key presses? Do you play shooters? Imagine doing everything right and taking your time to set up an ambush only to get wrecked because your controller literally said “ lol what?” My recommendation, skip this altogether and spend money on a ps4 or xb1 controller and use them with the usb cable. They’re lightweight, familiar in the hand and they’ll listen to you.

    Does it's job well. I am a little bit larger (6'4) with larger hands and it fits comfortably and feels well. Responsive and put together well.

    This controller feels great! The texture grips help keep your hands on the controller! The rear buttons make it better for multiplayer games so that you can also be slightly ahead of your enemy!

    Only major issue is that windows does not like connecting to xbox controllers via Bluetooth I just have a lot of issues. Otherwise this is a great control, lots of customization, and the vase and magnetic charging mount are great
