Face buttons fail to register 20 % of the time.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ran various games and started counting the times I jumped with my character in various games. Out of 200 consecutive jumps with other buttons or joysticks used, and sometimes without, only 80% of A button presses registered (with or without bluetooth). Noticed this with other face buttons as well, but did not test as rigorously. The feel and build of the controller are nice, though I think the weight is a bit too much. Setting up the controller is easy through the Xbox Accessories app, and setting controller defaults and updating firmware is quick.

Horrible quality control
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought 5 of them and all of them had non functioning A buttons and some even had non functioning Y buttons. Ended up making my owm pro controller at home for $30 with my old ps4 controller. I highly recommend you do that, avoid the elite controllers.

LB Button stopped working.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s insane, you pay over $150 for a controller so you are expecting to get a quality product. I bought this almost exactly a year ago. Several weeks ago the LB button stopped working. Microsoft won’t replace it of course. They don’t have enough money I guess. The controller is nice until your buttons stop working. I had the controller previous to this as well which had issues with the grip coming off. It’s always something. Disappointed.

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.

Bought Open Box Excellent, Received Junk
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
