Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    I’ll just stick with the regular Xbox controller. This over complicated engineering disaster has been wanting to throw it across the room like a Nintendo controller.

    I recently bought this controller for the xbox as an open item, the ticket said it was in excellent condition and that means that it works and looks like new, I purchased it at a nearby Best Buy and took it home, when i opened the item it looked like a dog chewed on the controller plus several items were missing, I tought to myself that maybe i made a mistake and it was a way more than poor condition item, it was actually an item that shouldnt have been sold, on top of that the controllers serial number didn’t match the box that it came with, so someone swapped the boxes or the controller in the store and they put it on the sales floor like it was all good. Im not saying that all the open box items are messed up, im saying that a big company like Best Buy should have their employees retrained and pay close attention to what they are putting on the sales floor and don’t accept any trade-ins that are in horrible conditions.

    Stick Drift Issue and Poor Customer Service

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The design defect with the "stick drift" is more than real. I've had this for less than a month, but the stick drift issue came about almost 2 weeks in. The characters move on their own and there's no way to stop it in the settings of the control. I reached out to BestBuy and they can't replace it because they don't have an adequate stock supply. (According to the customer service rep). So I guess, they have an adequate supply to sell, but not to replace defective ones? It's a poor catch-22 for such a reputable company.
