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).

    I love the feel of these controllers, but they break 2 easily. I have had to return 2 of these controllers due to drifting. This is not something you would expect when you are paying ad much as this for a controller.

    Two faulty controllers within first week of purchase! First controller: right stick very slightly off center towards the left. Faulty A button and wouldn’t register button presses on occasion, and require extra force to register unlike all the other buttons and my other controllers. Second controller: the connect button is rattling under shake or vibration like it’s missing a damper. Microsoft is terrible with hardwares. Best Buy customer support was very helpful.
