    Up D-pad button didn't work unless I press it firmly, otherwise it just clicks and makes the noise that comes with pressing it, but the button doesn't actually register as being pressed.

    With this being the 2nd generation, all the bugs and defects should be worked out, right? Right out of the box, sticky A button. After some research online, I was not the only one. C’mon Microsoft. Best Buy retuned my purchase price without question. Thank you.

    Terrible QA Shipped Broken and Mislabeled

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

    For the record I bought two of these things both “Open-Box Excellent” which is a complete and total lie. Both controllers were shipped with issues. The first, the right trigger didn’t work properly and the second controller the left thumbstick didn’t press down and was jammed. This is beyond disappointing. The fact that these items were “checked”, returned, and labeled without even verifying that they FUNCTION properly. Is so incompetent it borders on fraud. I’m returning these and will never buy anything gaming wise from Best Buy again. As much as I hate Amazon, I’d rather buy from them than deal with the constant scamming from Best Buy, because they’re too lazy to do their jobs properly.
