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.

    Controller works great for about a year or so depending on how ruff you are with the sticks. That’s about the only issue I’ve had. The paddles don’t seam to wear down at all. Get a protection plan

    Cheap for the price. I've had broken ones that I've sent back to Microsoft never to hear back from them. Best buy has been great though, especially as a total tech member

    I had no choice but to buy this in order to finally be able to remap the trigger buttons to the face buttons. In a C6 incomplete quadriplegic and for years I prayed Xbox and Microsoft would let users remap the regular Xbox controllers trigger buttons but after baby years they still lock that feature behind the Elite and Elite core controllers. Being disabled and an advocate for gaming accessibility this is unacceptable and I wish more people would be aware of this. I use my Xbox One controllers on my Xbox Series X since it’s bigger and easier to use. I can’t open and use my fingers so I use my chin to control the left stick and my wrist/palm to control the right stick. So many games where I need to remap the triggers were inaccessible to me. You shouldn’t have to buy an expensive controller for remapping, shame on Xbox.

    After having this controller for about 6 months the right bumper messed up. It takes more force to use the right bumper compared to the left which is annoying when playing games that really utilize that bumper. Aside from that great controller
