    Excellent controller. Great for Monster hunter world. Slow when using Bluetooth but I use it wired. Expensive but worth the price.

    It would be 5 stars but light taps to the Y button wouldn’t register 50% of the time, and my store told me to talk to MS about the problem.

    Right thumbstick

    Maybe it’s just this specific controller, but more times than not the right thumbstick is super sensitive and sometimes over moves to a direction… kinda like a deadzone problem… makes it hard to aim consistently

    We didn’t have a problem with the product at all. It seemed to work as advertised. The problem that we did have was that when we try to get a price match with a local box store, they refused to do it. As a result, we returned the controller and saved a considerable amount of money by buying it somewhere else.

    Much needed upgrade over the standard controller. Grips are nice and grippy and buttons all work. Nice to be able to tighten the thumbsticks.
