    One of the main reason why I got Xbox Series X instead of Ps5 is because of this controller. A true premium controller. Excellent!

    Playing FPS game and the Y button won't register the push to change weapons while in firefights unless i very carefully and firmly press the center. I'm hoping this is just a bad/defective unit, but only option is to return without a replacement since Best Buy has no stock available. Otherwise the controller feels wonderful and plays great, but not registering every button push on a nearly $200 controller is not acceptable.
