    I’ve had 4 of these, always wanted to believe they’d be great. However all them opened up with severe stick drift. For the price, this is ridiculous. If it wasn’t for that, this would’ve have been an excellent controller.

    This controller is a game changer. Tons of options for modifications and works seamlessly with the new Xbox. Charging case is a bonus as well.

    Works great on both my One X and Series X. No issues so far! The rubberized texture all over makes gripping so much nicer. Also very customizable.

    Horrible. Whatever store this came from saying it was in "excellent" condition needs help. Maybe because it had the original box, which looked like crap, and all the accessory pieces is why it was classed as it was; but, when a controller does fully operate, that is not excellent.

    I owned the older version and never had any problems, I love the way this one feels if feels smaller and I love that you can recharge it in the case. The problem I’m having with it is that the left stick it moves up by itself, can’t play destiny like that, bought it on November 7 and I called today to get a replacement. I’ll give it 3 stars because this controller is not cheap, and is not delivering

    The features on this thing are awesome. It really changes the way you can customize your gaming experience. I played with it a few nights per week and in less than a month the stick drift renders it almost unusable. Not worth so much money if it can break this quickly

    I purchased this $180 controller expecting a decent controller, the A, B, X, Y buttons came defective, they will not input 100% of the time. I will say that other than this issue, this was the best controller I have ever used
