Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

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).

    Broke after not even 1 year. My son is very careful with his stuff, takes care of everything. Definitely not worth the price.

    Controller is garbage. Only thing cool is the Xbox button can change color. The lag and configuration is horrible. I pick up any other random Xbox remote and it works perfectly fine.

    Saw the reviews and figured I’d try it. Website said one model # and I received a different model #. A button works 75% of the time, disconnects from your console at random times. Wish it worked better but you’re better off with a standard controller or trying a scuf. Returned this in just a few days. Bad item

    had to return. Son complained the buttons didn't feel like his current xbox controller and they didn't press far enough and trigger the button press. the controller weight didn't feel right and too heavy in long gaming sessions for my kid Save your money and go with the regular xbox controller

    I had high hopes for a $190 controller. It worked for about 20 days, now having all sorts of issues. Since it’s outside of the 14-day return window, will have to go through Microsoft warranty repair and wait for a new controller to arrive.
