Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    My son has just informed me that one of the buttons on this controller isn’t working now & he can’t use it. He said he’s looked online & it’s a common fault with these controllers!!! Almost $150 & used for less than 2 months!!

    While the controller feels well made and sturdy in hand, the overall quality is far beneath the price tag. The only way I can play without disconnect is to hardwire to my PC, looked it up online and it's a common problem without purchasing an additional xbox wireless dongle. The right analog stick broke within 5 weeks of adult only casual gameplay. Now being outside of my BB warranty, trying to get a replacement from Microsoft is a nightmare. I have a $200 paperweight until I hear back from MS. Advice: Buy extended warranty for console use. Find one of the many other high end controllers for PC use available on the market.

    I really enjoyed this quite expensive purchase for a while, but the right joystick began to drift much sooner than I would have expected for such an expensive controller under moderate use. The drift deteriorated quickly, over the course of a couple weeks, to a point where the controller was at an unusable level. I tried several cleaning techniques, which I found online, but unfortunately none were successful. Very disappointed in the longevity of this product.
