    DO NOT BUY this controller. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Nothing but a paperweight with a carrying case. Defective literally right out of the box. The left thumb stick gets stuck and doesn’t return back to the default position.

    Left stick is messed up on all of these. When you push down and try to move forward it’s difficult. Don’t get this controller.

    The controller was faulty. It did not work properly at all and had to be returned. Of course, item was then and is still out-of-stock so we are still without a controller. Just out here on the streets walking around with a Best Buy gift card

    This controller is definitely worse than the series one controller. The front just feels very cheap and the home button is clickable and doesn’t feel as good as the old controller. Also when playing on pc, you can’t connect it wired and will experience in game lag.

    What's the point of having 4 extra buttons if you can only map them to existing buttons? Microsoft should include a license for real button mapping software with this $180 controller. The discontinued steam controller at least has functional software.
