Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    I'm on my second replacement so far. The first one had issues with the A button getting stuck after frequent presses. My second one has issues with the Y button registering. I would highly recommend avoiding this controller at all costs until Microsoft finds a fix
