Drift and unresponsive thumbstick after 3 months
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 3 months, thebleft thumbstick already has drift upwards and pressing up in menus only works about 10% of the time. Of course it's 2 weeks past warranty and breaks, guess I'll look into buying a scuf

Sucks, drifting after 6 months.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product doesn't even have a 1 year warranty, 90 days and then you're on your own for another 100$ to have them send you a refurb. Don't get duped for $180 not worth it. At least give a 1 year warranty with your product Microsoft.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUseless protection plan
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Spent $220 on this controller plus the protection plan. Left joystick gave out 3 months in. Can't use product replacement with zero stock available since a long time ago. Tried shopping open box for now only to have that order immediately cancelled. The listing is there but it's not actually available.

High priced junk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller WILL break. After 4 returns I finally just took a store credit and put that towards the new turtle beach controller, hopefully it’s better
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot "Excellent" condition
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There was a dent in the controller, and there were crumbs in the case. This is my second negative experience with Best buy open box, do not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBroken 1 week after unboxing.....again
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the Y button on the controller does not input correctly, making this my 2nd faulty controller i got since launch. The previous lost its clicking on the right joystick and left bumper broke on it. I'm returning this hoping to get a Scuf controller that's better. DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING

Dead zone makes it unusable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two controllers, both with massive dead zones right out of the box. Stock controllers have less dead zone. It is not worth the money since Microsoft could care less about the issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBad controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sucks. Microsoft controller keep disconnecting during critical battles. Not all the time, but enough for me to upgrade to a ps5.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat controller, terrible bumpers
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller if you already own an elite and have the bumpers/thumb sticks However the bumper issue STILL exists with these controllers and not even two months after purchase, the left bumper maybe works half the time Immensely disappointed in Microsoft’s inability to figure this problem out.
I would recommend this to a friendGarbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They must use poor bluetooth modules on these. Had to return three in a row. Bluetooth continuously disconnected on both PC and console. I even bought a bluetooth dongle and had no luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat controller bad experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller itself is awesome, but i was supposed to get next day delivery. It was then rescheduled for 2 weeks later. Not happy with best buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a good controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The trigger buttons stopped working days after opening the box.

Trash
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Left stick drift within 2 months of ownership. This is my 3rd and possibly last Microsoft build controllers because of them breaking. I have not dropped or mishandled any of my controllers. I don’t have good strength in my hands so I’m certainly not man handling them.
