    Bought the white one first then a stick froze working the first 3 hours. Exchanged and paid more for this one and got stick drift on the right stick within a week. Typical Microsoft trash that promises a lot delivers very little. Built a bonfire with the Xbox (after 17 years of playing Xbox exclusively) and bought a PS5, won’t be back to Microsoft’s garbage they’re the inferior trash now and it’s not even close.

    The only thing bad about this controller is that it spoils you to where you won’t want to use anything else.

    This controller is so much better then the one that comes with the xbox. The feel the buttons the triggers, everything is more solid. The only complaint i have is when playing COD it was drifting bad so had to adjust the settings. Shouldn’t have to do that out of the box
