Overpriced junk

QC Issues.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Face buttons won't register sometimes (specifically the A button) and bluetooth connection is completely unreliable. My old DS4 controller from 2015 has a better connection than this, and still holds up really well. There are some serious QC issues with this controller.

Okay, but poor life
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is nice, the first year of use is great. Having access to extra buttons is convenient. However this controller is way too expensive to only last roughly two years. I am a moderate gamer and disappointed to get so little play time out of the controller.

Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the first controller I had tried other than the ones that came with the XBox when I bought it. I found the controller difficult to use because of the paddles on the back. The paddles can be removed, but at that point you might as well not have this controller. This controller may be more beneficial for specific games or other types of games, but I typically play the Forza series and Call of Duty, and for those I didn't find it any better than the regular XBox controller.

Reboxed, not open box.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Open-box. Perhaps my understanding of Open-Box is skewed. Historically, those items are in the original manufacturers box, and otherwise like new. The item I received was reboxed in a generic cardboard box. When I checked warranty, the item had no warranty via Microsoft. While it was less expensive than a new controller, the trade-off was not worthwhile, so I returned it. It did not appear to have any defects.

Stick Drift on Open Box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased an 'excellent' open box controller. It looked great but had horrible stick drift when I got it home. Unfortunately, none of the other open boxed items looked good compared to this one with stick drift.

Good Joystick, but still faulty
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this joystick, but it still has some of the same issue as the previous GEN. The RB button is faulty and it will stop working after a while.

Face buttons fail to register 20 % of the time.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ran various games and started counting the times I jumped with my character in various games. Out of 200 consecutive jumps with other buttons or joysticks used, and sometimes without, only 80% of A button presses registered (with or without bluetooth). Noticed this with other face buttons as well, but did not test as rigorously. The feel and build of the controller are nice, though I think the weight is a bit too much. Setting up the controller is easy through the Xbox Accessories app, and setting controller defaults and updating firmware is quick.
