    Bought this controller in January 2022. A couple years in, I had issues with button activation (mostly bumpers) and rubber coming unglued. These problems exacerbated until finally recently becoming unusable. This does not appear to be a defect, just poor design and materials. I expect more from Microsoft, especially at this price point.

    This is the 2nd controller purchased and within year buttons are coming off, same thing happened with last one. Other than that controller worked great, but don't want to have to keep buying a new controller due to same issue.

    Playing the Xbox with this controller is like riding in a Cadillac on a sunny day. The device is the steering wheel you need to get your game on. It’s customizable and responsive to touch. The controler truly “puts you in the game” and allows you to be in full contol.
