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 bought this one instead of the other one that cost more since I still had the paddles and other stuff so when I’m playing Call of Duty and I go to melee someone the controller disconnects on it’s own which is annoying

    Dog sheet quality to say the least. Joystick drift and RB button wasnt registering after only 3 months. Send it back and get a replacement that also is defective. And to top it all off it’s absolutely Impossible to get someone from Microsoft to help make it right. Fooking Joke of a company. I will spit in every persons face that works there or has ever worked there and not think twice about it. Done with MS to say the least. Their whole company is Down syndrome

    It’s a great controller but the build quality is awfully. They break almost yearly for me and the cost is too high.
