Only worked for 3 months.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second controller, the first one failed after 3 months of use unfortunately I did not purchase a warranty. My right rear bumper stopped working, I used microsoft warranty and got it back working but my other bumper was not working. I had to purchase another controller after this. I love it but they are unreliable.

Buyer beware - broken controllers out of box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had exchange this twice due to stick drift issues and once due to a face button issue. Currently on my 4th which is working acceptably for a $150+ controller. Ridiculous a multi billion dollar company can release such a trash product with no consequences. It honestly needs to be taken off the market and fixed.

Do not buy open box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has major issues with stick drifting. Also DO NOT buy open box. If anything goes wrong with it and you need to exchange it they will make you pay the difference of the open box price and the price of a new one. Honestly they should honor the open box price if the item is defective.

Love the controller - hate their quality controls
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently had to replace my original Series 2 as the coating was dtarting to peel off and buttons were becoming less responsive. First replacement series 2 = no X-button. Second series 2 = no Y-button. Third replacement will hopefully be a charm. When it is working, I dont think it can be touched regarding fit/finish.

Bad buttons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive been through 3 elite series 2 over the years, they typically last a year or two. I purchased this core version thinking since i had the extras for it already, i could save some money. Unfortunately right out of the box the y button and right bumper didnt work correctly. I had to return this, i dunno if its just cause it was the core controller or if it was just one in a million chance i ended up with a bad one. This experience definitely pushed me away from the core controllers.

What happened to excellent?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a controller thats supposed to be in " excellent" condition, it didnt seem so excellent. The controller was dirty, why was it not cleaned up? It had ugly stuff all around the controller, and it also had a weird smell. Kinda dispoinnted with this purchase.
