    Worst controller I have ever purchased. I have sent it in to Microsoft due to connectivity issue. It was sent back fixed. Now it is doing it again. I can't return it to Best Buy do to a glitch in their system. We purchased the yearly protection plan and due to this glitch they won't fix or replace.

    This is the third controller that is defective upon arrival. Every one had a different issue- 2 being spongy, noisy dpads. The controller’s feel and features are impressive enough that I’m willing to exchange again for a shot at getting a good one- but I’m not feeling hopeful. Insanely poor QA at the manufacturing level. Shame because I can tell the controller is special (and the best retail one available) when it works.
