    After having this controller for about 6 months the right bumper messed up. It takes more force to use the right bumper compared to the left which is annoying when playing games that really utilize that bumper. Aside from that great controller

    I really wish Microsoft would step up the qc of these bad boys. Nothing else feels as premium on the outside, but myself and a few other friends must just be too hard on them. On our third or forth now.

    I’ve had this controller since the end of Aug 2021 and, approximately one month ago, I realized the left thumb stick has developed irreversible drift, making gaming experience terribly frustrating. Only fix is to disassemble and replace a part. Do his requires i either pay someone or buy the tools and parts. Terrible for consumers… great for Microsoft and vendors.

    My son has just informed me that one of the buttons on this controller isn’t working now & he can’t use it. He said he’s looked online & it’s a common fault with these controllers!!! Almost $150 & used for less than 2 months!!
