Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Feels good in the hands, but quality control is lacking. The right joy stick gets stuck when moved to the right.

    On my 5th controller now. Microsoft keeps replacing them under manufacturer warranty. Takes 2 weeks every time. 1st was sent back for stick drift. 2nd was sent back for stick drift. 3rd was sent back for faulty RB. 4th was sent back for faulty LB. 5th is working well so far (3 months of use). Only buy with extended warranty.

    I don't know of a better controller, but these break too often. Awfully expensive to replace, wish I'd bought the protection.
