    Controller felt tough and durable, but had stick drift out of the box. Returned it for another one and it also had stick drift out of the box. The staff was great and helpful but the product itself was sub par.

    The controller has ruined me on regular controllers. But it started experiencing drift from the left joystick and it's super annoying.

    I bought 5 and returned them all, each came out of the box defective. Issues from stick drift to sticky face buttons to crunchy triggers with each controller having one of these issues. My stock 2 year old controller that came with my Xbox one X is far better controller with a control freak on the right thumb stick “and no issues at all after two years”

    Bought Open Box Excellent, Received Junk

    This is my 3rd "Open Box-Excellent" item I've bought from BestBuy. The first one (a DJI gimbal) was missing one non-critical piece but otherwise was nice. The last two (including this controller) were terrible and I returned. Although this item was supposedly "Excellent" condition, it came with MANY marks and scuffs all over it, the thumbsticks were clearly worn out, it looked like my 13 year old had played with it for the last 6-8 months. Poor condition. I returned it the same day and it will be my last time buying open box from Best Buy. Do they even look at the items before labeling them excellent? I rebought brand new and the item is a great product but DO NOT BUY OPEN BOX.

    I wanted nothing more than to love this controller, it was very useful and made my gaming experince much better. The paddles helped me complete Elden Ring but the darn thing broke 4 months into using it.
