    Product had a nice quality and provided good performance. I only gave it a four because of the price that Microsoft sells it for.

    Buy at your own risk. I bought this controller a year ago. The first one I got had an inconsistent A button. I returned it for a replacement to Best Buy. The replacement had the same issue. I mapped the A button to another button and was able to deal with it for a while. I sent it back to MS for repair. They had it for 2 weeks when it came back, same issue. Then it started to just turn off in the middle of a game. This happens at least once a week now even when the controller has a full battery. This would be a great controller if it wasn't so unreliable. I will say when the controller works it is great. Best controller I've ever used, unfortunately it doesn't always work.

    I was apprehensive on getting this controller mainly because of the price. But looking at it from a gaming standpoint this controller does make excellent sense compared to the basic controller that comes with the console. Very good and very responsive especially when playing call of Duty so it's something definitely I would recommend if you are a gamer.

    Didn’t think I would like the built in battery but i do like not having to swap them out all the time. Guess we will see how the battery longevity goes.
